How teams use Tave with agents

Tave is studio management software for photographers and creative businesses. An agent connected to it can turn website inquiries into leads, look up clients, open jobs for new bookings and report on orders and payments by brand.

Inquiry to lead

Create a lead from a website contact form so new inquiries land in Tave without retyping.

Booking setup

Create a job for a confirmed wedding or session and link it to the client contact and job type.

Client lookups

Search the address book for a couple or business and pull their details before a consultation call.

Revenue check-ins

Summarize recent orders and payments for one brand or job type at the end of the month.

Tools to start with

  • Create Lead: New inquiry from a web form.
  • Create Job: A booking linked to a contact and job type.
  • Get Payments: Filters by brand and job type.

Sign-in and permissions

Tave uses two separate keys: the Public API V2 key for contacts, jobs, orders and payments, and the legacy New Lead API key for creating leads. Both act for the whole studio, so restrict the payment and order tools to the people who handle billing.

Sign-in options on Metorial: New Lead API (Legacy), API Key (Public API V2).

Connect Tave to your AI client

Every client uses the same Magic MCP URL, and so does any other MCP client. Add it once and sign in with SSO.

  1. Enable Tave in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Tave MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
  2. Add a custom connector. Open Customize, then Connectors. Select Add, then Custom, then Web.
  3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL. Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>) and continue.
  4. Sign in. Select Add and sign in to load Tave tools.

Run Tave through the Metorial gateway

One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.

  • Give Tave and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
  • Scope which teams and agents can use Tave tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
  • Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.
