Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Reel Estate MCP Tools (23)

whoami

Show the upstream MCP URL, read-only flag, the account plan, whether writes are allowed (canWrite) with a plain-language writeAccess reason, and the live /users/profile response for the OAuth-authenticated user. Good first call to confirm auth and whether create/generate/render tools will work (free accounts are read-only over the MCP). If not signed in, it returns a 'run login' error — use the `login` tool.

Authenticate with the backend. If not already logged in, returns an authorization URL to open in your browser; approve the sign-in and the token is cached in the background, then retry your action. (Browser-based login can't be popped reliably from here, so you click the link.)

logout

Clear the cached OAuth session (and best-effort revoke it server-side) so the next tool call re-authenticates via the browser. Use to switch accounts or reset a broken auth state.

list_projects

GET /projects for the authenticated user. Supports paging, sorting, search, and status filter.
