Kie.ai MCP Server

What it does

Community MCP server and sibling CLI for Kie.ai's media API, covering image, video, music and speech models from one connector — 38 tools across image, video, audio and task utilities. Since v4 it no longer fires generations directly: the agent drafts a plan with prepare_media_generation, a human approves it, and submit_media_generation spends the credits. For filmmaker-agents that buys a spend checkpoint in front of a broad model shelf, at the cost of an extra round trip per shot.

Field notes

MIT, npm @felores/kie-ai-mcp-server 5.0.0 published Aug 23 2026, pushed Aug 24 2026, 60 stars — two breaking releases since the last check, so re-read the README before reusing old configs. v4.0.0 (Aug 18) disabled direct media tool calls by default in favour of approval-bound plans: prepare_media_generation validates and creates no provider task, a host confirmation form or `kie-cli --approve <plan-id>` clears it, then submit_media_generation runs it. Set KIE_AI_ALLOW_DIRECT_GENERATION=true to restore the old one-shot behaviour, which is what unattended agents will need. v5.0.0 moved to the split SDK v2 packages and raised the floor to Node >=20 (npm engines; the release notes say the same), returns failures as isError with structuredContent, and gates official MCP Tasks behind KIE_AI_MCP_TASKS=true. Stdio by default, but v5 ships first-class HTTP: MCP_TRANSPORT=http or --http, with MCP_HTTP_HOST/MCP_HTTP_PORT and an optional KIE_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN bearer — self-hosted only via the Dockerfile and Coolify compose, there is no vendor-hosted URL. Filter the 38 tools with KIE_AI_ENABLED_TOOLS, KIE_AI_TOOL_CATEGORIES=image,video or KIE_AI_DISABLED_TOOLS (that precedence order) or you will burn context on unused schemas. Caveat: Kie.ai is an aggregator/reseller path for models from many vendors; rights, availability and ToS safety depend on the underlying provider, and Midjourney/Suno-style access should be treated as gray until verified for your use case.
