Aetherwave MCP

Model Context Protocol server for AetherWave Studio. Drop it into any MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Cursor, Continue, Claude Desktop, custom agents) and your LLM can generate, edit, upscale, reframe, and master across every flagship creative AI provider through one API key, one credit pool. Its 27 documented tools cover aetherwave, comic, image, video.

People who work with aetherwave, comic and image and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Aetherwave MCP

before you install - you'll need

Set AETHERWAVE_API_KEY, PRINTFUL_API_TOKEN, PRINTFUL_STORE_ID before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add aetherwave-studio-aetherwave-mcp -- npx -y @aetherwave-studio/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aetherwave-studio-aetherwave-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@aetherwave-studio/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can create a comic project (title, premise, cast, art style). Free, generate (6 cr each) or approve a character's reference image, start writing the script (2-3 min, charged on use, about 40 cr for 12 pages), and start drawing every undrawn panel (9 cr a panel, charged on success).
