> **Availability note (`TRUTH.md` §3):** `arcanea-mcp` builds cleanly from source (`dist/`, 10 MCP tools, stdio + HTTP transports) and `arcanea-media-mcp` runs in Python (`src/server.py`), while `@arcanea/starlight-intelligence-system` is published at `6.0.1`. `npx @frankxai/arcanea-mcp` is not yet published to the public npm registry (`OBJECTIVES.md` O5.3).

## What `arcanea-mcp` provides [#what-arcanea-mcp-provides]

`arcanea-mcp` is a media and worldbuilding MCP server written in TypeScript with two transports (`stdio` and Streamable `HTTP`) and **10 MCP tools**:

1. **Gemini TASTE Scorer (Primary Differentiator):** Automatically critiques and scores generated visual assets against composition, lighting, typography, and brand anti-slop rules before returning them to the creator (`TRUTH.md` §3b).
2. **Quality-Tiered Routing Brain:** Routes across **226 generative endpoints** (`51` t2i, `57` i2i, `43` t2v, `62` i2v, `4` v2v, `9` lipsync) backed by `MUAPI_KEY`.
3. **World & Character Canon Loaders:** Injects locked character sheets, Gate palettes, and vessel designs directly into generation prompts.

## `arcanea-media-mcp` (Python) [#arcanea-media-mcp-python]

A companion Python MCP server (`arcanea-media-mcp/src/server.py`) providing OpenRouter model routing and pre-flight generation cost estimation.
