MakeAIVideo MCP server

MakeAIVideo MCP Server

Let Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client make finished AI videos. The MakeAIVideo MCP server gives your AI assistant 39 tools to write a script, generate a video with AI voiceover, scenes, captions and music, and hand back the MP4, ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

Ask your assistant things like:

• "Make a 30-second explainer video about why octopuses have three hearts, vertical, and give me the MP4."
• "Write a script for a UGC ad for my skincare product, then turn it into a video."
• "Give me 10 video ideas for a personal finance channel and make the best one."

Two ways to connect

1. Hosted server (recommended): https://mcp.makeaivideo.ai

Streamable HTTP with OAuth: add it as a custom connector and sign in, no key to copy.

• Claude.ai / Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → https://mcp.makeaivideo.ai
• ChatGPT: Settings → Connectors → Create → MCP server URL https://mcp.makeaivideo.ai
• Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http makeaivideo https://mcp.makeaivideo.ai

• Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json) / VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "makeaivideo": { "url": "https://mcp.makeaivideo.ai" } } }

Prefer an API key? Send Authorization: Bearer mav_... (create one in the developer settings).

2. Local stdio server (this package)

For clients that only run local commands. It bridges to the hosted server, so every tool stays in sync.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "makeaivideo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@makeaivideo/mcp"],
      "env": { "MAKEAIVIDEO_API_KEY": "mav_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, Continue and any stdio MCP client. Node 18+.

Tools (39)

Renders take minutes: the assistant creates the video, then polls getvideostatus (it respects pollafterseconds) and returns the download link. Full reference: makeaivideo.ai/docs/mcp.
