What it does

Civitai is an agent skill from artokun/comfyui-mcp. Discover Civitai models with the BUILT-IN downloadmodel action:"searchcivitai" and install/generate them locally. Find a checkpoint/LoRA/embedding on Civitai, download it into ComfyUI, and use its trigger words. Optionally pair the official Civitai MCP for community features (images browsing, posting, collections).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Diffusion and image models, Fine-tuning and Embeddings. It works with Model Context Protocol and ComfyUI. The repository describes itself as: Local-first, agent-native control plane for ComfyUI — MCP server + sidebar agent that generates images, video & audio, authors and runs workflows, and edits your live graph in… The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6ad6fc0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- claude
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- mcp.civitai.com
Also links to:
- civitai.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- CIVITAI_API_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Civitai loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 446 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Optionally pair the official Civitai MCP for community features (images browsing, posting, collections).

Civitai + comfyui-mcp

comfyui-mcp has native Civitai search built in (download_model action:"search_civitai") plus the local half of the loop: download, wire, queue, tag. The full flow (find, install, generate) needs no other server and no API key, and works on every backend, including small local models behind the compact router.

The built-in flow (default path)

download_model({ action: "search_civitai", query, types: ["LORA"], base_models: ["Flux.1 D"] })
        │                    each hit: model_id · model_version_id · trigger words
        ▼
download_model({ action: "download_civitai", model_version_id, target_subfolder: "loras" })
        │
        ▼
list_local_models({ action: "list" })  →  panel_add_node loader / generate_image   # use it

ALWAYS filter base_models when the user's checkpoint family is known. A Flux LoRA will not load on an SDXL checkpoint (see model-compatibility). CivitAI labels: Flux.1 D, SDXL 1.0, SD 1.5, Pony, Illustrious, Wan Video.
target_subfolder must match the model type: checkpoints, loras, vae, controlnet, embeddings, upscale_models, and so on.
Results are SFW-only by default (nsfw: true to opt in).
Each hit carries trigger words. Put them in the prompt after installing.
Prefer model_version_id over model_id. A Civitai page can list several versions and the user usually means a specific one.

Search needs no API key. CIVITAI_API_TOKEN (from civitai.com/user/account) unlocks gated/early-access downloads and gated search results. Set it once, in panel Settings under "Set CivitAI token…" or in env.

Recipes

"Find me a good anime LoRA for Flux and install it"

download_model({ action: "search_civitai", query: "anime style", types: ["LORA"], base_models: ["Flux.1 D"] }).
Present the top 3 to 5 with name, creator, base model, downloads, and the version id. Let the user pick.
download_model({ action: "download_civitai", model_version_id, target_subfolder: "loras" }).
In the panel, panel_add_node a LoraLoader, panel_set_widget the lora_name, wire it between checkpoint and sampler, and use the hit's trigger words in the prompt. Headless: generate_image(action="image") / build the workflow.

"Download this Civitai page for me" (user pastes a URL)

Parse the modelVersionId from the URL if present; otherwise pass the model id from the URL to action:"download_civitai" (it resolves the latest version). A raw civitai.com/api/download/... URL also works via action:"download" with CIVITAI_API_TOKEN set.

Optional: the official Civitai MCP (community surface)

For features beyond search and install (browsing example images and their generation params, collections, posting, reviews, bounties), pair the official remote server. It is no longer auto-bundled; add it once:

bash

claude mcp add --transport http civitai https://mcp.civitai.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_CIVITAI_API_KEY"

Then mcp__civitai__* tools appear alongside comfyui-mcp's. Its discovery results hand off identically (modelVersions[].id → action:"download_civitai").

That server also exposes write/social tools (post, comment, review, DM, follow). Those publish on the user's behalf, so show what you're about to post and get an explicit yes first. This skill covers discovery, local install, and generation; don't post or message without being asked.

When should I use Civitai?

Civitai fits situations like: tasks that involve Diffusion and image models; tasks that involve Fine-tuning; tasks that involve Embeddings.

How do I install Civitai in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add artokun/comfyui-mcp --skill civitai -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugin/skills/civitai in artokun/comfyui-mcp) into .claude/skills/civitai in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Run `npx skills add artokun/comfyui-mcp --skill civitai -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugin/skills/civitai in artokun/comfyui-mcp) into .agents/skills/civitai in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Civitai in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add artokun/comfyui-mcp --skill civitai -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/civitai, .gemini/skills/civitai, .github/skills/civitai and .opencode/skills/civitai in your project.

What does Civitai need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Civitai needs the command-line tools its instructions call (claude) and credentials named CIVITAI_API_TOKEN. Our summary lists: A credential in CIVITAI_API_TOKEN; A credential in YOUR_CIVITAI_API_KEY.

Does Civitai access the network?

SKILL.md names 2 domains. In commands or code: mcp.civitai.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: civitai.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Civitai safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Civitai use?

Civitai is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Civitai use?

About 1.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Civitai?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Civitai: Setup (guaardvark/guaardvark, 258 stars), Comfy (Comfy-Org/comfy-skills, 222 stars), Workflow Assistant (filliptm/ComfyUI_FL-MCP, 127 stars) and Comfyui Skill Openclaw (HuangYuChuh/ComfyUI_Skills_OpenClaw, 413 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
