Tavus MCP

What it does

Comprehensive community MCP server exposing 25 tools across the full Tavus API: Phoenix replica (digital twin) training, persona management, video generation, real-time conversational video (CVI), lipsync, and speech synthesis. Tavus has no first-party MCP server; this is the most complete open implementation.

Field notes

Install caveat, re-confirmed on 2026-08-12: the README's npm package (tavus-mcp) is still NOT on npm — the registry 404s — so install from source or via Smithery. The 25 documented tools still match the README, but the repo has had no commit since 2025-07-09 and holds 2 stars, so treat it as unmaintained rather than merely quiet; it is listed because Tavus still ships no first-party MCP and this remains the most complete open implementation. Tavus free developer plan: ~25 min conversational video + 5 min generation. Built on an old MCP SDK version.
