Dare MCP server

dare-mcp-server

Generate video and images from inside Claude, billed to your own Dare credits.

Ask Claude for a shot and it makes one — Seedance 2.5, Seedance 2.0, Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0 Pro, Hailuo 2.3 for video, Nano Banana 2, GPT Image 2 and Seedream 5 Pro for stills. No new subscription, no API key to buy: it spends the Dare credits you already have.

Works with Claude Code, the Claude desktop app, and Cowork.

[!IMPORTANT]

Dare does not publish a developer API. This server talks to the same private endpoint the

Dare web app uses, signed in as you with your own browser session. It works today — every

tool here has been exercised against Dare's live servers, including a generation run to

completion — but Dare can change that contract without notice, and using it may sit outside

Dare's terms of service. Your account, your credits, your call.

Install

You need Node.js 20 or newer. Check with node --version; if that errors, install the LTS build from nodejs.org (on a Mac, brew install node also works).

Then run one command in your terminal:

npx dare-mcp-server setup

That is the whole install. The wizard:

1. shows you where to find your Dare token (four clicks in your browser),
2. checks it against Dare and prints your credit balance,
3. saves it to ~/.dare-mcp/config.json with owner-only permissions,
4. adds Dare to Claude Code and/or the Claude desktop app for you.

Restart Claude when it finishes. In Claude Code, /mcp should now list dare.

npx dare-mcp setup works too — dare-mcp is a short alias that forwards to the same package.

Claude desktop app, no terminal: download dare-mcp-server-0.2.0.mcpb from the mcpb-0.2.0 release, open it, and paste your Dare token when asked. It is also listed on the official MCP Registry as io.github.avi-aggarwal14/dare-mcp-server.

Step 2 in detail: finding your Dare token

The server signs in as you, using the long-lived Clerk __client cookie from your browser. It mints a fresh 60-second session token for every call, exactly as the Dare web app does.

(In Firefox and Safari the tab is called Storage instead.)

1. Sign in at in Chrome, Edge, Arc or Brave.
2. Open DevTools — Cmd+Option+I on macOS, F12 on Windows and Linux.
3. Go to the Application tab → Storage → Cookies → https://clerk.trydare.com.

Copy the value, not the name.

1. Find the row named client and copy its Value** — a long string starting eyJ.

1. Paste it into the wizard. Your terminal will not echo it back.

The cookie is valid for about a year, so this is a one-time step unless you sign out of Dare.

Treat it like a password. It grants full access to your Dare account and can spend your credits. The wizard keeps it in one file with 0600 permissions and deliberately does not write it into your Claude config, so your Claude settings stay safe to sync or share.
