The Kive MCP connector lets Claude work with your Kive account from chat. After you connect it, Claude can find your workspaces, browse saved products and generated assets, and create new Kive images or videos without leaving the conversation. Generations, edits, and product setup actions use your Kive workspace permissions and credits. If you belong to more than one workspace, Claude may ask which workspace to use before it starts a Kive action.

​
Before you start

Make sure you have:
  • A Kive account with access to the workspace you want to use
  • Available Kive credits for image generation, video generation, or image edits
  • Access to Claude custom connectors
  • Permission to authorize Claude to use your Kive account

​
Connect Claude to Kive

1

Open Account settings

In Kive, open your avatar menu and go to Settings → Account.
2

Find Model Context Protocol

Under Integrations, find the Model Context Protocol section and the Claude connector.
3

Start the connection

Click Connect. Kive opens Claude’s custom connector setup with the Kive connector details filled in.
4

Authorize Kive

Follow the prompts to authorize Claude. Kive will ask you to allow access before Claude can use your workspace.
5

Confirm it works

In Claude, ask: Show my Kive workspaces. Claude should list the Kive workspaces your account can access.
If you are setting up Kive from another MCP client that supports custom connectors, use the production connector URL: https://mcp.kive.ai/mcp.

​
What Claude can do

Once connected, Claude can use Kive tools to:
  • Browse your Kive workspaces, saved products, trained models, studios, video presets, and previous generations
  • Show generated images and videos inline when a Kive output is ready
  • Create a saved product from a product page, public image URL, or uploaded product image
  • Generate product images with Kive studios
  • Generate product videos with Kive video presets, with up to four presets and up to four sampled outputs in one request
  • Edit existing images with Kive image editing
Video generation starts with one video by default, with audio on. Claude can also check generation status while Kive is working. For visual results, ask Claude to show the finished image or video after it starts a generation.

​
Try these prompts

  • Show my Kive workspaces
  • Find my recent generated videos in Kive
  • Show the products in my Kive workspace
  • Generate one product image for this product using a clean studio
  • Make a product video with audio on using this product and a slow zoom video preset
  • Create four product video variations using different video presets
  • Edit this image so the product is on a marble surface

​
Access and credits

Claude only gets access after you authorize the Kive connector. The authorization allows Claude to view and edit Kive assets, set up products, and spend Kive credits for supported generation actions. Kive still enforces workspace access, account permissions, and credit availability. If a generation cannot run, Claude will receive the Kive error and can help you choose a different workspace, product, preset, or generation setting. You can manage the connection from Claude’s connector settings.
