## Documentation & README

# MakeAIVideo MCP Server

[![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@makeaivideo/mcp.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@makeaivideo/mcp) [![license](https://img.shields.io/npm/l/@makeaivideo/mcp.svg)](LICENSE)

**Let Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client make finished AI videos.** The [MakeAIVideo](https://makeaivideo.ai) MCP server gives your AI assistant 39 tools to write a script, generate a video with AI voiceover, scenes, captions and music, and hand back the MP4, ready for [TikTok](https://makeaivideo.ai/tiktok-video-generator), [Instagram Reels](https://makeaivideo.ai/instagram-reels-generator) and [YouTube Shorts](https://makeaivideo.ai/ai-shorts-generator).

Ask your assistant things like:

- "Make a 30-second explainer video about why octopuses have three hearts, vertical, and give me the MP4."
- "Write a script for a UGC ad for my skincare product, then turn it into a video."
- "Give me 10 video ideas for a personal finance channel and make the best one."

## Two ways to connect

### 1. Hosted server (recommended): `https://mcp.makeaivideo.ai`

Streamable HTTP with OAuth: add it as a custom connector and sign in, no key to copy.

- **Claude.ai / Claude Desktop:** Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → `https://mcp.makeaivideo.ai`
- **ChatGPT:** Settings → Connectors → Create → MCP server URL `https://mcp.makeaivideo.ai`
- **Claude Code:**
  ```bash
  claude mcp add --transport http makeaivideo https://mcp.makeaivideo.ai
  ```
- **Cursor** (`~/.cursor/mcp.json`) / **VS Code** (`.vscode/mcp.json`):
  ```json
  { "mcpServers": { "makeaivideo": { "url": "https://mcp.makeaivideo.ai" } } }
  ```

Prefer an API key? Send `Authorization: Bearer mav_...` (create one in the [developer settings](https://app.makeaivideo.ai/developers)).

### 2. Local stdio server (this package)

For clients that only run local commands. It bridges to the hosted server, so every tool stays in sync.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "makeaivideo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@makeaivideo/mcp"],
      "env": { "MAKEAIVIDEO_API_KEY": "mav_your_key" }
    }
  }
}
```

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, Continue and any stdio MCP client. Node 18+.
