Dora Video is a hosted AI video and image generation MCP server for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Google Antigravity and any other Model Context Protocol client. One OAuth-secured connection gives an agent 16 models — Google Veo 3, Kling 2.6, SeeDance 2, SeeDance 1.5 Pro, Grok Imagine, Nano Banana Pro and others — with the coin cost of each returned before anything is generated, sorted cheapest first.
Built and operated by Saga Labs. Full public specification, limitations included: https://doravideo.com/ai-video-mcp
Most video MCP servers are either a single provider, or raw infrastructure that hands your agent a job id and leaves it to build polling, retries and billing. Dora sits in between: a curated catalogue behind one account and one balance, four tools an agent can reason about in a single pass, and a finished MP4 or image at the end.
The design bet is that an agent picks better from a short list. A tool per model, or per provider, makes the tool list longer than the task.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
list_models | Every model with its live coin cost, max duration, and whether it accepts an image or a video input. Sorted cheapest first. |
generate_video | Text-to-video, image-to-video, or motion transfer from a driving clip. Returns a job id. |
generate_image | Text-to-image and image editing from reference photos. Returns a job id. |
check_job | Polls a job and returns the finished file. |
Because list_models publishes prices, this works:
"Animate this product photo as a vertical ad. Use the cheapest model that can do it, tell me what it will cost, and wait for me to confirm."

1 Dora coin = 1 provider credit, no multiplier. Dollar figures are the coin value on the Pro plan ($15 for 1,000 coins). Verified 5 September 2026.

Longer durations, higher resolutions and audio scale up. list_models is
always authoritative; this table is a snapshot.
Add https://doravideo.com/mcp as a remote MCP server and approve the OAuth
prompt. OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration; no API key to manage.
Step-by-step guides:
For clients that only speak stdio, bin/dora-mcp.js in this repo bridges to the
same endpoint with an API key from
doravideo.com/account:
Stated here so nobody discovers it later:
list_models returns costs cheapest first
and the agent chooses; Dora does not choose for it.list_models returns the default configuration cost, not a quote for
every parameter combination.If you are building your own high-volume video backend, model infrastructure platforms are a better fit. Dora is a better fit when the goal is a finished clip with minimal integration.
| Plan | Price | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Pro (web) | $15 / month | 1,000 / month |
| Credit packs | from $7 | 600+, never expire |
Every plan includes every model, every resolution, commercial rights and no watermark.
The same account and balance work on the web at doravideo.com and on the iPhone app. Android is in review.
The MCP server itself is hosted and closed-source. This repository is the public documentation and the stdio bridge.
