Ludo.ai API & MCP Integration
We're excited to announce the beta launch of Ludo.ai's API and MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration. Generate game assets, animate sprites, create 3D models, and produce audio. All without leaving your favorite development tools.
What's New?
Game developers have always needed to context-switch between tools: design software for assets, audio tools for sound effects, and various AI platforms for generation. With our new API and MCP integration, you can now access Ludo.ai's AI-powered asset creation tools directly from:
- AI assistants like Claude (Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code)
- Custom pipelines and build systems
- Your own applications via REST API
What is MCP?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI assistants to connect with external tools and services. Think of it as giving your AI assistant hands. It can now directly create assets for you instead of just describing how to make them.
When you connect Ludo.ai via MCP, you can simply ask your AI assistant things like:
The AI handles the rest, calling Ludo.ai's tools and returning the generated assets directly in your conversation.
Available Tools
Our API and MCP integration includes 9 powerful tools for game asset creation:

Generate short videos from a source image and motion prompt. Perfect for cinematics, trailers, or dynamic backgrounds.
Cost: 5-15 credits
3D Models
create3DModel
Convert 2D images into textured 3D models. Customize polygon count, texture resolution, and quality settings.

Example Workflows
Building a Complete Game Scene
You: I need assets for a forest level. Create some tree sprites, a forest background, and ambient forest sounds.
Claude: [calls createImage multiple times, then createSoundEffect] Here are your assets...
Rapid Prototyping
Generate placeholder assets quickly during game jams or prototyping sessions. Describe what you need in natural language and get usable assets in seconds.
Beta Status
This integration is currently in beta. We're actively improving the tools and would love your feedback. If you encounter any issues or have feature requests, please reach out through our Discord community or contact us directly.
What's Next?
We're constantly improving and adding more tools to the API and MCP integration. Stay tuned for updates!
