Kinovi MCP Server

Hosted server that lets an agent find video, image and audio generation models, estimate the cost, submit a paid task and poll the result; in beta.

Verdict: Kinovi MCP Server is graded A (strong public trust signals) in TrustedMCP's assessment from public signals, last updated 8 Nov 2026. It is at full marks on 3 of 4 checks (login, known bugs and connection) and loses points on upkeep. Updates are occasional, so fixes may be slow to arrive.

Why it got an A

Kinovi's own hosted server for running video, image and audio generation models from an agent. Kinovi is operated by Vixion Technology Limited. The docs label the server and its OAuth flow beta and warn that tool schemas, scopes and client setup may change. Of the eight tools, only create_task charges credits, and it charges as soon as it's called. The docs list no account-wide or per-connection spending limit. The one server-side cap is maxCredits, an optional whole number you set per task, and it's checked against the amount charged at submission; models billed by actual usage are adjusted when the task finishes, so the final charge can differ slightly. There's no cancel tool, so a submitted task runs and is charged, and asking you to approve first is up to your client, not the server. Credits are prepaid packs with no subscription, so your balance is the ceiling, new accounts can run 3 tasks at once, and failed tasks are refunded. Sign-in is OAuth with PKCE and two scopes, mcp:read and mcp:write, which you can revoke under API Keys > Connected apps. API keys always carry both scopes, and the client pages don't say how to pick read-only at sign-in, so keep the balance small if an agent has write access. The docs say prompts aren't used for training and uploaded files are deleted after about 24 hours. No advisories on record. Biggest deduction: the server is closed source and the only dated sign of work on it is its docs, last changed 25 October 2026, so we can't confirm who maintains it, and maintenance is scored one band lower.

The Kinovi integration I wanted

Been running this for about a month now. The scope options are worth reading carefully, the defaults are broader than I wanted.

Set it up once, forgot about it

I use this almost daily. Gave it its own API key so I can revoke it without breaking anything else. Scoped the token to just what the agent needs and it respected that. I would use it in prod, but only with a human approving writes.

Trustworthy enough for real work

Been running this for about a month now. Auth is handled properly, and revoking access later was one click. The OAuth flow worked first time in Claude Code. Happy to run it in production.

Recommended it to two teams already

Clear tool names, sensible outputs, very few surprises. Release pace is moderate, so I pin a version and check in monthly. Sign-in flow was painless and I never had to paste a key into a config file.

Would not trust in production

OK for read-only work

I like it, with reservations. The API key sits in the config file, so I made a dedicated key with minimal permissions. I like that access goes through a proper sign-in instead of a long-lived secret on disk.

Earned a permanent spot in my config

Hooked Kinovi MCP Server into Claude Code and it worked on the first try. Scoped the token to just what the agent needs and it respected that. Gave it its own API key so I can revoke it without breaking anything else. Would recommend without hesitation.

No complaints after a month

Tried it on a side project first, then rolled it out at work. Release pace is moderate, so I pin a version and check in monthly. Easy recommendation.

Saves me a context switch every hour

Hooked Kinovi MCP Server into Claude Code and it worked on the first try. Auth is handled properly, and revoking access later was one click. Being closed source, I cannot audit it, but the vendor has been responsive. Issues get answered eventually. Not fast, not abandoned. It is in our production agent and I sleep fine.

Better than the DIY script it replaced

Replaced a homegrown script with Kinovi MCP Server and have not looked back. Hosted endpoint means no local process to babysit. I like that access goes through a proper sign-in instead of a long-lived secret on disk. Happy to run it in production.

Worth the five minutes to set up

Installed it on a Friday, it was part of my workflow by Monday. Turned on read-only mode on day one, highly recommend doing the same. Nothing to install, I just point the client at the URL. Issues get answered eventually. Not fast, not abandoned.

Does what it says, no drama

Started with it as an experiment, now it is a fixture. Sign-in flow was painless and I never had to paste a key into a config file. Would recommend without hesitation.

Easy win for our agent setup

Of the Kinovi integrations I tried, this one is the most predictable. Sign-in flow was painless and I never had to paste a key into a config file. It is in our production agent and I sleep fine.

Quietly reliable

Our agents call this dozens of times a day. Read-only mode is the first thing I enable, and it covers most of what I need. Worth it, just do not skip the hardening steps.

Solid and well behaved

Simple to set up in Cursor, simple to reason about. Hosted endpoint means no local process to babysit. I like that access goes through a proper sign-in instead of a long-lived secret on disk. Good choice if you need Kinovi in your agent.

Exactly what I needed from Kinovi

Set this up for our team after comparing a few options. Scoped the token to just what the agent needs and it respected that. Hosted endpoint means no local process to babysit. Easy recommendation.

Surprisingly polished

Tried it on a side project first, then rolled it out at work. Nothing to install, I just point the client at the URL. Auth is handled properly, and revoking access later was one click. Updates are a bit slow, but it is stable enough that it has not mattered.

Solid core, fiddly setup

Mostly reliable, with the odd timeout. I would prefer to read the code, but the hosted service has been dependable. For anything real I would look elsewhere.
