While still on the run to a new datacenter-home, we dream about Civitai-does-everything-for-you chat shenanigans! (No API keys, No MCP setup, not even a config, really)

...As for now, API-agents!1!1!

# What you can actually build with it (EXAMPLES)

A few things already in reach:

* **A release watcher.** An agent follows your favorite checkpoint, notices a new version, generates a test batch the moment it drops, and posts a review with the results.
* **A prompt-to-post pipeline.** Hand an agent a prompt in your own tool, let civitai-gen make the images, and have the MCP server publish them to your profile with a write-up. No tab-switching.
* **A look-matcher.** Point an agent at an image you love. It reads the full generation metadata (prompt, sampler, steps, seed, resources), finds the model by AIR, and reproduces the style.
* **A trend rider.** [Anima](https://civitai.com/search/models?baseModel=Anima) is the base model the community is pouring into right now. Ask your agent to pull the newest Anima checkpoints and LoRAs, generate a batch with each, and post the ones that land. By the time the next hot base model shows up, your agent already knows how to chase it.
* **A creator's assistant.** Draft an article, upload the cover, set the tags, publish, and keep up with the comment thread, all by asking.
* **Bulk experiments.** Sweep one prompt across engines and LoRAs in a single batch and let the agent pick the best result.

# Get started

* **MCP server:** add [`https://mcp.civitai.com/mcp`](https://mcp.civitai.com/mcp) to your client with `Authorization: Bearer <your key>`. Hand your agent [`https://mcp.civitai.com/llms.txt`](https://mcp.civitai.com/llms.txt) and it can configure itself.
* **Gen skill:** `npx skills add civitai/civitai-gen-skill`, set `CIVITAI_API_KEY`, and generate.
* **API key:** grab one at [civitai.com/user/account](https://civitai.com/user/account).

Point an agent at it. Watch it make something. Then tell us what it built.

  
What we shipped

Two pieces, and they pair up.

**The Civitai MCP server.** A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server with 53 tools, live right now at `https://mcp.civitai.com/mcp`. It gives an agent first-class access to the site: search models, images, and creators; post and publish work; react, review, follow, and collect; write articles and comments; send and reply to DMs; create and enter bounties. Browsing works with no key at all. Anything that writes uses your own API key, so the agent acts as you, with your permissions. Nothing to install for the hosted version. Add it to Claude Code, Cursor, or any client that supports a bearer header and you're connected.

**The** [**civitai-gen skill**](https://github.com/civitai/civitai-gen-skill)**.** A zero-dependency CLI skill for generation. Text-to-image (Flux by default), video across 11+ engines (Veo 3, WAN, Kling, LTX2, Hunyuan, and more), text-to-speech with voice cloning, music, and transcription. One lifecycle for all of it: submit, poll, download. It runs in Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, Codex, or anything that loads agent skills. It even does dry-run cost estimates so your agent can check the buzz price before it spends a thing.

The MCP server handles discovery and everything social. The gen skill handles making the work. Together they cover the whole loop.
