Freemium

MCP server that lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other agents generate video, images, music and sound effects through Popcraft.

Key features

  • One-URL MCP Integration: Add a single endpoint as a custom connector in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex or other MCP clients with OAuth sign-in and no API key.
  • Multimodal Generation: Generate video, images, music and sound effects directly from prompts inside your agent conversation.
  • Credit Cost Preview: Agents preview credit costs and get approval before generating, avoiding surprise spend.
  • Skills Served Live: Loads production skills such as ugc-ad and thumbnail-pro from the server so the agent follows a tested workflow.
  • UGC Product Ad Workflow: Turns a product photo into a vertical creator-style ad with storyboard, realism pass and a Seedance 2.0 clip with native speech.
  • Multi-Model Access: Reach Seedance 2.0, Nano Banana, Seedream and GPT Image models from one account.

Best for

  • Marketing Video Ads: Have an agent produce a 15-second vertical UGC ad from a product photo.
  • YouTube Thumbnails: Generate concept variants and micro-edits for video thumbnails.
  • Brand Stills and Voiceover: Create image sets and audio for a campaign in one conversation.
  • Cinematic Teasers: Produce short cinematic clips from a written brief.
  • Agent-Driven Content Pipelines: Let coding or chat agents add media generation to larger workflows.
  • A/B Creative Testing: Ask for alternate hooks or aspect ratios and download variants.

Powabase

Powabase

Freemium

Backend-as-a-Service combining per-project Postgres, storage, auth, realtime, RAG pipeline and agent runtime for AI apps.

Key features

  • Per-Project Postgres Provisioning: Automatically provisions an isolated Postgres instance (with pgvector) per project, providing persistent storage and a vector store for RAG workflows.
  • Integrated BaaS Surfaces: Built-in auth (GoTrue-compatible), storage, REST (PostgREST) and realtime features that are compatible with Supabase client libraries for seamless developer experience.
  • Document Extraction and Indexing Pipeline: On upload, documents are extracted, converted to embeddings and indexed for retrieval-augmented generation and fast semantic search.
  • Agent Runtime and Tooling: Hosts an agent runtime that runs agents and enables them to call external tools over plain HTTP or the MCP protocol, simplifying tool integration.
  • HTTP-First API Surface: Exposes agents, orchestrations, workflows, sources and knowledge bases as plain HTTP endpoints under /api/, requiring no special SDK to drive platform features.
  • Orchestration and Workflows: Provides workflow and orchestration primitives to coordinate multi-agent processes, human-in-the-loop steps, and automated pipelines.
  • Self-Host or Managed Deployment: Offers both self-hosting options for data control and a hosted service for quick onboarding and lower operational overhead.
  • Per-project Postgres with pgvector for vector storage and full SQL access
  • PostgREST-compatible REST interface for database access
  • Auth using GoTrue-compatible flows and row-level security support
  • Storage and file ingestion that extracts, embeds, and indexes documents on upload
  • Realtime features built on Postgres changes/presence/broadcast
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline and vector search for private knowledge
  • Agent runtime that executes and orchestrates agents and workflows
  • Agents can call external tools over HTTP or MCP
  • Platform surfaces (agents, orchestrations, workflows, sources, knowledge bases) exposed as plain HTTP /api/ endpoints
  • Supabase SDK compatibility for BaaS surfaces (uses @supabase/supabase-js) and examples in the Cookbook
  • Agent Skills integration (agent skill folders, compatible with Agent Skills standard and Claude Code)
  • Self-hostable architecture or hosted SaaS option

Best for

  • RAG-Powered Chatbots: Build chatbots that answer from private company docs by uploading files, automatically embedding and indexing them for semantic retrieval at query time.
  • Multi-Agent Orchestration: Coordinate multiple specialized agents (e.g., data fetcher, summarizer, action executor) via the platform's orchestration and workflow APIs to automate complex tasks.
  • Full-Stack AI Apps with Supabase Compatibility: Create web or mobile apps using familiar Supabase client libraries for auth, realtime and REST while adding AI features served from the same backend.
  • Self-Hosted Private Deployments: Run Powabase on-premises to maintain full control over sensitive datasets, embeddings, and agent tool access for regulated environments.
  • Tool-Enabled Agent Workflows: Expose internal or third-party HTTP tools to agents so assistants can perform actions (API calls, database writes, external integrations) as part of workflows.
  • Knowledge Base and Semantic Search: Ingest and index documentation, knowledge bases or product content to provide fast, vector-based semantic search and context for model responses.
  • Build RAG-enabled apps that search and generate from private documents
  • Create multi-agent orchestration and automation workflows
  • Replace or extend Supabase backends with AI-native features (vectors, agents, workflows)
  • Implement human-in-the-loop apps with realtime presence and editing
  • Expose database and AI surfaces over a single REST API for rapid prototyping
  • Develop agents that call third-party tools via HTTP/MCP and orchestration pipelines
  • Run self-hosted deployments for data residency or use the hosted service for managed operations
