Civitai now permits automated access via its public API and MCP server
The ban on bots, crawlers and automated tools now has exceptions: Civitai's public API, its official MCP server (with your own credentials and within rate limits), its own tools, or anything it authorizes in writing. Users remain fully responsible for activity done through such access, and it does not allow anything else the Terms forbid.
Taken from you
- Responsibility for all actions taken through authorized automated access, as if done manually
Won back
- Explicit permission to use the public API and official MCP server for automated access
- Clarity that automated access is allowed within rate limits using your own credentials
