AutoShort MCP server

AutoShort MCP

Turn an idea into a faceless short video: script, voiceover, captions and scenes, from any AI assistant that speaks MCP. This repository is the public home of the remote MCP server of AutoShort: a hosted endpoint, so there is nothing to install or run.

• Endpoint: https://autoshort.org/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP)
• Registry name: org.autoshort/autoshort (Official MCP Registry)
• Auth: OAuth 2.0 with PKCE and dynamic client registration (discovered from /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource), or an AutoShort API key as Authorization: Bearer sklive...
• Docs and API keys: https://autoshort.org/en/developers
• Also on npm as a stdio proxy: npx -y mcp-server-autoshorts with AUTOSHORTAPIKEY set

What you need

An AutoShort account. The server is a connector to your own account, not a free video generator: drafts are free, renders spend credits from your balance. AutoShort's current plans: a 3-day trial for $2.99 (non-refundable, includes 150 credits), then from $19/month; credit packs start at $2.99. See https://autoshort.org/en/pricing for the live prices.

Connect

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http autoshort https://autoshort.org/api/mcp

then run /mcp and authenticate autoshort (a browser opens: sign in and allow).

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/airdropfi/autoshort-gemini-extension

VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json)

{
  "servers": {
    "autoshort": { "type": "http", "url": "https://autoshort.org/api/mcp" }
  }
}

Any other client that supports remote (Streamable HTTP) servers: add the URL above. If the client cannot do OAuth, create an API key in the AutoShort dashboard and send it as Authorization: Bearer sklive....

What the tools cover

54 tools, with read-only / destructive annotations on each:

Rules the server enforces: a draft is free and renders nothing; a render is priced first (autoshortestimatecost / autoshortquotevideo) and spends credits only when you confirm it; real or famous people, protected characters and sexual content are refused. Videos use AI-generated images and voice: switch on the platform's AI-content label when you post. No result or performance is promised.
