Pipeline with real dataAutomated workflow
When production data lives in one place, everything downstream can be automated. Synchronize data across tools, publish previews directly from your DCC, and trigger custom scripts on any event. What used to require manual coordination runs on its own.
HTTP APIKeep departments synchronized
Assets, shots, casting, task assignments, file locations: every department needs this data, and it needs to be the same data. The Kitsu API gives your entire studio a single queryable source for production information, accessible from any tool, any machine, any location. AI assistants can reach the same data through our MCP server.
Python client SDKSave development time with a clean API
The Kitsu Python client, gazu, gives you intuitive functions to fetch production data without rebuilding request logic every time. A raw client handles complex queries when needed, and a built-in cache keeps response times fast. Install it directly from PyPI and start working.
Event-driven scriptsMake your pipeline reactive
Define what happens when a status changes, a preview is published, or a task is assigned. Your scripts run automatically. Repetitive pipeline steps that used to require someone to notice and act are handled the moment the event fires.
Chat integrationsShare your production update
Connect Kitsu to Slack or Discord and deliver task updates and production alerts where your team already communicates. Critical information reaches the right people immediately, without anyone having to go look for it.
