How do I install CCAPI or Short Video Agent Kit in Claude Desktop or Cursor?

Copy the mcpServers JSON configuration snippet provided on this page into your claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json file and restart your AI client.

Are CCAPI and Short Video Agent Kit free or paid?

CCAPI operates under a Free / Open Source model (No auth required). Short Video Agent Kit operates under a BYOK (Pay Provider Direct) model (API Key required).

Which MCP server has more tools and community activity?

CCAPI lists 11 tools with 0 views and 0 GitHub stars. Short Video Agent Kit lists 5 tools with 4 views and 1 GitHub stars.

Can I use both CCAPI and Short Video Agent Kit together in the same MCP host?

Yes! MCP hosts like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and VS Code support configuring multiple servers under the mcpServers object simultaneously.

How do I install CCAPI or Short Video Agent Kit in Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf?

Both servers follow the standard Model Context Protocol configuration format. Simply copy the JSON block from the configuration section above and paste it into your AI client's mcpServers configuration object (for instance in claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json ), then completely restart or refresh the application.

Are CCAPI and Short Video Agent Kit free to use, or do they require API keys?

CCAPI is listed under a Free / Open Source model with No auth required . Short Video Agent Kit operates under a BYOK (Pay Provider Direct) model with API Key required . If environment variables are required (such as API keys), be sure to define them under the env key in your MCP client's configuration file.

Can I run both CCAPI and Short Video Agent Kit at the same time in my AI client?

Yes! MCP clients support multi-server orchestration. You can include both ccapi and davidmosiah-short-video-agent-kit as distinct keys inside the single mcpServers object in your configuration file. Your AI assistant will automatically select and call the appropriate tool from either server during chat sessions.

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

CCAPI Tools (11)

chat_completion

Send a conversation to any text model available through CCAPI (Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, GLM, MiniMax, Kimi, Qwen…) and get the reply. Useful for consulting a second model for a different perspective, running a cheap model over bulk work, or reaching a model the current client does not have configured. Responses are non-streaming.

edit_image

Edit existing images according to an instruction, using the dedicated image edit endpoint. Provide at least one source image. For pure text-to-image, or for models that take references through the generation endpoint, use generate_image instead.

extend_music

Continue an existing song from a given timestamp, producing a longer version. Requires the clip_id of a previously generated song, which appears in the 'raw' payload of a completed generate_music task. Asynchronous — poll with get_task.

generate_image

Generate an image from a text prompt, optionally guided by reference images (image-to-image). Returns image URLs directly. Most models finish in 10-60 seconds; if your client times out, set async=true to get a task_id you can poll instead. This call costs money — do not retry speculatively.

Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations

Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
