Claude Desktop

You can use the AutoVio MCP server directly from Claude Desktop by adding it under mcpServers in the Claude config.

Config with CLI arguments

This example is taken from examples/claude-desktop-config.json in the MCP project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autovio": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/AutoVio-MCP/dist/index.js",
        "--autovio-base-url",
        "http://localhost:3001",
        "--autovio-api-token",
        "YOUR_API_TOKEN",
        "--vision-model",
        "gemini-2.0-flash-exp",
        "--vision-api-key",
        "YOUR_VISION_KEY",
        "--llm-model",
        "gemini-2.5-flash",
        "--llm-api-key",
        "YOUR_LLM_KEY",
        "--image-model",
        "gemini-2.5-flash-image",
        "--image-api-key",
        "YOUR_IMAGE_KEY",
        "--video-model",
        "veo-3.0-generate-001",
        "--video-api-key",
        "YOUR_VIDEO_KEY",
        "--log-level",
        "info"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace:

• /path/to/AutoVio-MCP/dist/index.js with the absolute path to your built MCP server entry.
• YOUR_API_TOKEN with an AutoVio API token.
• YOUR_*_KEY values with real provider keys.

Config with environment variables

You can also rely on environment variables instead of passing all flags in args. Example from the MCP README:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autovio": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/AutoVio-MCP/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "AUTOVIO_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:3001",
        "AUTOVIO_API_TOKEN": "your-token",
        "AUTOVIO_LLM_API_KEY": "your-llm-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can add additional env keys such as:

• AUTOVIO_VISION_MODEL, AUTOVIO_VISION_API_KEY
• AUTOVIO_LLM_MODEL, AUTOVIO_LLM_API_KEY
• AUTOVIO_IMAGE_MODEL, AUTOVIO_IMAGE_API_KEY
• AUTOVIO_VIDEO_MODEL, AUTOVIO_VIDEO_API_KEY
• AUTOVIO_LOG_LEVEL

The MCP server merges CLI flags, env vars, config file, and defaults as described in MCP Setup.

Using tools in Claude

Once configured and running:

• Claude Desktop will show an AutoVio MCP server entry.
• You can call tools like autovio_projects_create, autovio_works_create, or autovio_works_generate_scene from within a chat.

See MCP Tools Reference for a complete list of tools and parameters.
