MeltFlex MCP is a MCP server that turns room photos into AI restyles, furniture placement, and virtual staging via MeltFlex AI.
About
MeltFlex MCP connects developers to MeltFlex AI for photo-driven interior design: restyling spaces, placing furniture, and virtual staging without building a custom diffusion pipeline. Register meltflex-mcp in stdio mode, add a subscription-backed API key from meltflexai.com/settings, and let Cursor or Claude Code iterate on listing photos, decor concepts, or client mockups during implementation. It targets proptech landing pages, design SaaS, and content creators who need fast staged visuals rather than manual Photoshop workflows. Beginner-friendly setup is offset by paid subscription dependency and domain-specific outputs. The server is a narrow AI design bridge—useful for validate-stage demos only when you are already committing to a visual product—not a general 3D engine or open-source floor-plan editor.
- AI interior design: restyle rooms, place furniture, virtual staging from a single photo
- stdio npm package meltflex-mcp (v0.2.1) with required MELTFLEX_API_KEY (mf_sk_...)
- Active MeltFlex subscription; keys generated at meltflexai.com/settings
- Documented MCP landing at https://www.meltflexai.com/mcp

What it does
Let agents restyle rooms, place furniture, and virtually stage interiors from a photo via MeltFlex AI over MCP.
Who is it for?
proptech, interior-design SaaS, or marketing sites that need quick virtual staging inside agent-driven build loops.
Skip if: Products needing CAD-accurate floor plans, non-subscription offline rendering, or backend-only APIs with no visual design scope.
What you get
After adding meltflex-mcp and your mf_sk_ key, agents can produce staged or restyled room outputs through MeltFlex tool calls.
- Agent-driven room restyle and virtual staging operations
- MeltFlex-authenticated MCP tool integration
- Staged or furniture-placed visual outputs for product UI or marketing
By the numbers
- Server and package version 0.2.1; npm identifier meltflex-mcp
- MELTFLEX_API_KEY required; subscription gating documented on meltflexai.com

MeltFlex AI Skills
AI agent skills for photorealistic interior design via MeltFlex AI — restyle rooms, place real furniture, virtually stage, and re-theme spaces from a single photo. Works with Claude Code,
Hermes, Cursor, Codex, and other AI agents that load Markdown-based skills or speak MCP.
Each user authenticates with their own MeltFlex API key; every generation is billed to their account credits. The skills call the public MeltFlex API directly, so there's nothing extra to install.
Install
Pick one. Each method sets up the skills for your agent.
npx skills — recommended, cross-agent
npx skills add MeltFlexDevs/skills
GitHub CLI (v2.90+)
gh skill install MeltFlexDevs/skills
Claude Code marketplace
Inside Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add MeltFlexDevs/skills
/plugin install meltflex@meltflex
Setup script
Universal fallback:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/MeltFlexDevs/skills.git
cd skills
./setup
More options in INSTALL.md. Agent-driven install (paste into your agent): INSTALL_FOR_AGENTS.md.
Authenticate
You need an active subscription (any paid plan) — without one the key won't work. After subscribing at https://www.meltflexai.com/settings, open account settings → API Key under Profile, then Generate API Key (shown once — copy it):
Then expose it:
export MELTFLEX_API_KEY="mf_sk_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
Use with Hermes
Hermes (Nous Research) speaks MCP, so it runs MeltFlex through the meltflex-mcp server.
From the catalog (once merged into the Hermes catalog):
hermes mcp install meltflex
Manually — sign in once, then add the server to ~/.hermes/config.yaml:
npx -y meltflex-mcp auth login
mcp_servers:
meltflex:
command: npx
args: ["-y", "meltflex-mcp"]
Start hermes chat (or run /reload-mcp in a session) to load the generate_interior and check_credits tools. Full guide: https://www.meltflexai.com/mcp.

Security
The skills never contain a key. Each user supplies their own mf_sk_ key via MELTFLEX_API_KEY; generations spend that user's own credits. Credits, auth, and rate limits are all enforced server-side. Never commit your key — revoke it anytime in settings.
