Nodaro documentation
Learn to build AI video, image and audio workflows in Nodaro, with guides, a reference for every node and model, and the API, SDK, CLI and MCP.
Nodaro is a visual workflow editor for generative AI. You place nodes on a canvas — each node does one job, such as writing a script, generating an image, animating it into a video, or adding a voiceover — and connect them into a workflow. When you run the workflow, Nodaro runs every step in order and passes each result to the next node.

Frequently asked questions
What is Nodaro?
Nodaro is a visual workflow editor for generative AI. You place nodes on a canvas, connect them, and Nodaro runs the chain for you, for example a script, then images, then video clips, a voiceover and captions. It works with more than a hundred image, video and audio models.
Do I need to know how to code to use Nodaro?
No. You build workflows by dragging nodes onto the canvas and connecting them, or by describing what you want to the Copilot. Developers can also drive Nodaro from code with the REST API, the TypeScript SDK and the CLI.
Is Nodaro free?
A new Nodaro Cloud account starts with free credits, and you pay for generations with credits after that. The Community Edition is free to self-host under the Nodaro Sustainable Use License.
Can AI assistants use Nodaro?
Yes. Nodaro has an MCP server, so assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can create images and videos, build workflows and run them for you.
