# Agent Tools / MCP

> Connect AI agents to ComfyUI via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for image, video, audio, and 3D content generation.

ComfyUI provides **two MCP servers** that let AI agents (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Amp, and other MCP-compatible clients) generate images, video, audio, and 3D content — with no local ComfyUI installation or GPU required.

## What is MCP?

The **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** is an open standard that allows AI assistants to interact with external tools and services through a standardized interface. Instead of an AI agent needing to know custom API formats for every service, MCP provides a uniform way to expose tools.

When you connect an MCP server to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or Amp, the AI assistant can:

* **Generate images** from text descriptions
* **Create videos** from text or images
* **Generate 3D models** from text or images
* **Generate audio and music** using AI models
* **Search models and templates** to find the right tools for your task

...all through natural language conversation, without writing API calls manually.
