Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

kavel

check_kavel_generation

Get the result of a Kavel generation that was still rendering.

find_kavel_tool

Search Kavel's AI photo and video effects (hairstyle changer, figurine, pet portrait, yearbook photo, trend dance videos and more). Returns each tool's slug, what it needs (a photo or just text) and its page on kavel.ai. Image tools can be run here with generate_kavel_image; video tools open on kavel.ai.

get_kavel_balance

How many credits are left on the linked Kavel account.

generate

generate_kavel_image

Create an image from a prompt, or edit the user's photo, on their Kavel account. Pass `tool` (a slug from find_kavel_tool) to apply that effect's tuned recipe, with `prompt` holding the user's own details. Photo tools need a photo: the user's attachment in `photos`, or a public link in `image_urls`. Spends credits from the linked Kavel account. Usually returns the image within a minute; otherwise returns a task_id for check_kavel_generation.

Kavel MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Kavel MCP do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_kavel_generation, find_kavel_tool, generate_kavel_image, get_kavel_balance. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Kavel MCP working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 540 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Kavel MCP?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Kavel MCP need an API key?

No. Kavel MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Kavel MCP?

It answers our handshake in 540 ms on average, which is faster than 21% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use Kavel MCP?

The npm package kavel-mcp was installed 98 times in the last week. Week over week that is +65%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Kavel MCP open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at kavel.ai, which runs on its operator's own terms.
