What the publisher says
From the Ilovevideoeditor repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
iLoveVideoEditor MCP Server
Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client) render videos with iLoveVideoEditor: list motion-design templates, fill in variables, submit JSON-to-MP4 render jobs, poll status, and get download URLs.
Quick start
Get an API key from the dashboard: ilovevideoeditor.com/dashboard/account/api
Add the server to your MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ilovevideoeditor": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@ilovevideoeditor/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"VF_API_KEY": "vf_live_xxx"
}
}
}
}Tools
Configuration
Development
npm install
npm run build # tsc -> dist/
npm start # stdio transport
npm run dev # tsx watchThe server speaks MCP over stdio (diagnostics go to stderr). An optional --http flag enables HTTP/SSE transport for debugging.
