## MCP tools (10)

### `find_apps` (~137 tokens)

Find a Tanvo app

Search Tanvo's ready-made AI apps (photo effects, trends, portraits, product shots, video effects, songs) by what the user wants, e.g. 'royal pet portrait', 'action figure of me', 'old photo restoration', 'dancing video', 'birthday song'. Each app has tuned preset looks with real example outputs. Use get_app for the looks, then generate_from_app to run one.

Input parameters:

- `kind` (string): Only apps that make this kind of media
- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string): What the user wants, in their words. Leave empty to list trending apps.

### `get_app` (~60 tokens)

Show an app and its looks

One Tanvo app: the photos it needs, its preset looks (each with an example output and the prompt behind it), the model it runs on and the link that opens it in the browser.

Input parameters:

- `app` (string, required): App slug from find_apps

### `list_models` (~64 tokens)

List models

Every image, video and music model with the options each accepts (aspect, resolution, duration, format, audio), how many reference images it takes, whether the free tier covers it, and its credit cost at default settings.

Input parameters:

- `kind` (string): Filter by media kind

### `account` (~30 tokens)

Account and credits

Who the server runs as (an API key account or the anonymous free tier) and how many credits are left.

### `generate_from_app` (~235 tokens)

Run a Tanvo app

Run one of Tanvo's apps with one of its looks on the user's photos, e.g. the 'renaissance' look of a pet portrait app. Photos go in the order of the app's inputs (see get_app). Uses the look's tuned prompt and model; `details` adds the user's own touch. Charges the look model's credits (shown by get_app) and refunds failures. Needs TANVO_API_KEY unless the look runs on the free engine.

Input parameters:

- `app` (string, required): App slug from find_apps
- `details` (string): Optional personal detail woven into the prompt, e.g. 'for my sister Ana' or 'wearing a red scarf'
- `look` (string): Look id from get_app; defaults to the first look
- `photos` (array): Photos as local file paths or public https URLs. Local files are uploaded for you.
- `save_to` (string): Optional folder to download the results into (defaults to TANVO_OUTPUT_DIR when set)
- `wait` (boolean): Wait for the result. Defaults to true for images and songs, false for video.

### `generate_image` (~250 tokens)

Generate or edit an image

Text to image, or an edit / combination when `images` are given. Returns the image (inline when small) and its URL. The free tier runs studio-image-v1 without a key; other models need TANVO_API_KEY. Credits are charged per run and refunded if it fails.

Input parameters:

- `aspect` (string): 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4 … as the model allows (default: the model's)
- `format` (string)
- `images` (array): Photos as local file paths or public https URLs. Local files are uploaded for you.
- `model` (string): Model id from list_models
- `prompt` (string, required): What to make: subject, setting, light and style. For edits, say what to change and what to keep.
- `resolution` (string): 1K, 2K or 4K where the model supports it (default: the model's)
- `save_to` (string): Optional folder to download the results into (defaults to TANVO_OUTPUT_DIR when set)
- `wait` (boolean): Wait for the image (usually under a minute)

### `generate_video` (~258 tokens)

Generate a video

Text to video, or animate a still when `image` is given (optionally ending on `end_image`). Video takes one to several minutes, so by default this returns at once with an id for get_generation. Needs TANVO_API_KEY.

Input parameters:

- `aspect` (string): 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 … (default: the model's)
- `audio` (boolean): Native sound on models that offer it
- `duration` (integer): Seconds; one of the model's options (default: the model's)
- `end_image` (string): End frame on models that support it
- `image` (string): Start frame: a local path or a public https URL
- `model` (string): Model id from list_models
- `prompt` (string, required): One scene: subject, action, camera movement, light and style
- `resolution` (string): 480p, 720p, 1080p or 4K where supported (default: the model's)
- `save_to` (string): Optional folder to download the results into (defaults to TANVO_OUTPUT_DIR when set)
- `wait` (boolean): Wait for the clip (up to 8 minutes)

### `generate_music` (~210 tokens)

Write a song

Makes two takes of a song on Suno V6, each an MP3 with cover art, a title and the lyrics as sung. Modes: Describe (prompt is one sentence about the song; lyrics are written for you), Lyrics (prompt is your lyrics, with [Verse] [Chorus] [Bridge] tags), Instrumental (prompt describes the sound). 60 credits a run; needs TANVO_API_KEY.

Input parameters:

- `mode` (string)
- `prompt` (string, required)
- `save_to` (string): Optional folder to download the results into (defaults to TANVO_OUTPUT_DIR when set)
- `style` (string): Genre, instruments, tempo, voice, e.g. 'acoustic pop, hand claps, warm female vocal'
- `title` (string): Song title (Lyrics and Instrumental modes)
- `vocal` (string): Lean towards a male or female voice (Lyrics mode)
- `wait` (boolean): Wait for the songs (usually about a minute)

### `get_generation` (~70 tokens)

Check a generation

Status and outputs of a run started earlier (poll this for videos).

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required)
- `save_to` (string): Optional folder to download the results into (defaults to TANVO_OUTPUT_DIR when set)
- `wait` (boolean): Wait up to 2 minutes for it to finish

### `open_in_tanvo` (~128 tokens)

Open in the browser

A link that opens Tanvo ready to go: an app on a chosen look, or the image / video / music studio with a model and prompt filled in. Use it when the user wants to upload photos and tweak settings themselves, or has no API key.

Input parameters:

- `app` (string): App slug from find_apps
- `kind` (string): Studio to open when no app is given
- `look` (string): Look id from get_app
- `model` (string): Model id to open the studio on
- `prompt` (string): Prompt to prefill

## Common questions

### What is the Tanvo MCP server?

Tanvo is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as ai.tanvo/tanvo-mcp. AI photo, video and song apps plus image, video and music generation on Tanvo (tanvo.ai). This page covers its npm package (tanvo-mcp).

### Is the Tanvo MCP server safe to use?

Tanvo scores 73 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 1 known advisory against it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Tanvo MCP server expose?

Tanvo exposes 10 tools: find_apps, get_app, list_models, account, generate_from_app, and 5 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,442 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Tanvo MCP server still maintained?

Tanvo is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Tanvo MCP server under?

Tanvo declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Tanvo MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Tanvo, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
