Tavus

Official MCP Free to start Video Prospecting RESEARCHED Checked 2026-08-24 CLI: tavus-cli (community)
RESEARCHED Facts from public sources with URLs. No usage claims. Nobody has run this tool. The other tier is BENCH-TESTED, which means Andrew personally ran the tool on a stated date and cannot be bought at any price. Across the whole directory that count is 1.

Vendor: tavus.io · entry id 08-tavus · source 08-video-prospecting.md line 128

What it does
Developer platform for building real-time, two-way conversational AI video agents ("Conversational Video Interface") - positioned for GTM use cases like greeting website visitors and booking meetings, not primarily batch personalized-outbound video.
AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it
Vendor states AI voice/face replicas ("Replica"), persona-driven real-time conversational agents, and a no-code agent builder ("PAL Maker"). This is a genuine real-time conversational-AI product per vendor's own architecture description (perception, understanding, voice, rendering components), not just a templated video swap - but capability claims are vendor-stated and not independently benchmarked here.
RevOps role
Conversational AI-agent layer for GTM (an AI rep that greets/qualifies a site visitor and books a meeting live) rather than a classic async 1:many personalized-outbound-video tool.

The vendor ships and maintains the server itself. A wrapper built by Zapier, Composio or a similar third party does not count as official. The status was established by hand on 2026-08-24. On 2026-09-04 the recorded URL answered an MCP initialize as a server, which is liveness and nothing more: nobody has run its tools.

Catalogue shape
a fixed catalogue the vendor publishes

A tool below is one the server NAMES. Nobody has called it. That is the same two tier honesty rule the rest of the directory runs on: a named tool is research, and BENCH-TESTED stays the only claim that anybody ran anything.

This list came from a repo the vendor does not own. Those are that author's tools for the vendor's API, not the vendor's own published surface, and the two must not be read as the same thing.

141 of the 741 entries that record an official or community MCP server carry a harvested tool list. The other 600 are unmeasured, which is not the same as empty. Harvest last run 2026-09-27. Every name across every server is on the tools index.

Command line

This is a third party's CLI. It was published by somebody other than the vendor, so it is that author's surface for the vendor's API and not the vendor's published surface. The two must not be read as the same thing.

api_gate, verbatim from the file:

free tier available. Free plan includes 25 minutes of conversational video/month; Starter/solo-developer tier is $59/mo (100 min + 3 custom replicas); Growth $397/mo (1,250 min); Enterprise custom. Overage billed per-minute.

API documentation

No documentation URL recorded.

727 of 1252 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank.

GitHub health

Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build.

The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale.

A github.com URL already appears somewhere in this entry, which is a seed for that rail and not a measurement of repo health:

Jobs it can do

A job tag means the vendor says the tool does this. It is not a test result, not proof the capability is reachable through the tool's MCP server, and not proof it is available on the gate this entry records.

Tagged by machine-pass on 2026-08-25 against the closed 56 job vocabulary. 271 of 1,252 entries carry at least one tag; 849 tags are assigned in total.

Notes, verbatim from the file
Third-party blogs (e.g. ColdIQ) frame Tavus as a "video prospecting" tool via its replica/clone capability, but Tavus's own current marketing emphasizes real-time conversational agents over the "record once, blast personalized clips" model most other entries in this file use - worth noting the mechanism differs from Vidyard/Sendspark/Potion even though the sales use case is real.
