How do I connect LUVI to Claude?
Add LUVI as a custom connector in Claude with the URL https://www.luvicreator.com/api/mcp, sign in to LUVI when Claude asks, and Claude can then list models, estimate costs, generate, and read your library.
Adding the connector
- In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
- Enter
https://www.luvicreator.com/api/mcpand save. - The first time you use it, Claude opens a LUVI sign-in page. Sign in and approve the connection; the approval is tied to your LUVI account only.
What Claude can do
33 tools, documented at /docs/mcp. The ones you will use most:
list_models,get_model_schema,get_prompt_manual— discover a model and its exact parameters.estimate_cost— the credit price before spending anything.generateandget_generation_status— run and poll.list_library,get_asset,search,fetch— read what you already have.create_workflow…run_workflow— multi-step work.get_upload_link,create_upload_ticket— get a local file into LUVI (see the upload article).
Prompting
When a model has a prompting guide, Claude reads it with get_prompt_manual, writes the prompt in that dialect and checks it with check_prompt before generating. It tells you "LUVI Prompt Engine is active" instead of narrating those steps.
Costs stay visible
Every result Claude fetches carries the real charge in credits, and list_transactions returns the same ledger you see on Account → Billing.
Frequently asked
Does Claude spend my credits?
Only when you ask it to generate, and it can quote the cost first with estimate_cost. Every charge appears on Account → Billing like any other.
What does 'LUVI Prompt Engine is active' mean?
That the model you chose has a prompting guide and Claude wrote the prompt in that model's dialect before generating.
Which Claude surfaces work?
claude.ai (web and desktop), Claude Code and anything built on the Claude SDK — the connector is a standard MCP server with OAuth.
