Starreel MCP server

StarReel MCP

Turn a script into a finished, downloadable short-drama episode — from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.

StarReel is a prepaid AI video-production pipeline. This MCP server exposes the whole factory — 120+ tools covering every stage — so an AI agent can take a raw script all the way to a finished .mp4:

script → AI rewrite → cast / scenes / props extraction → character portraits & sheets
       → storyboards → keyframes → video shots → voiceover (TTS) → final cut (.mp4 link)

It is a thin, open client: all the heavy lifting (character-consistency gates, frame chaining, best-of-N auditing, billing) runs server-side at starreel.ai.

Quick start

(srklive..., shown once).

1. Create an API key with produce scope in StarReel → Settings → API Keys

1. Add the server to Claude Code:

claude mcp add starreel -e STARREEL_API_KEY=srk_live_xxx -- npx -y @starreel/mcp

Or install the Claude Code plugin — MCP server + agent skill in one step (set STARREELAPIKEY in your shell first):

/plugin marketplace add starreel/starreel-mcp
/plugin install starreel@starreel

it will quote each paid stage first and only spend after you confirm.

1. Ask your agent: "Take this script and produce a full episode: " —

Works with any MCP client

Requires Node ≥ 18 (npx). The standard config below works as-is in Cursor · Windsurf · Cline / Roo Code · Claude Desktop · Trae · Cherry Studio · Chatbox · DeepChat and any client that reads an mcpServers JSON block:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "starreel": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@starreel/mcp"],
      "env": { "STARREEL_API_KEY": "srk_live_xxx" }
    }
  }
}

Clients with their own format:

Codex CLI — ~/.codex/config.toml

[mcp_servers.starreel]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@starreel/mcp"]
env = { "STARREEL_API_KEY" = "srk_live_xxx" }

VS Code (Copilot agent mode) — .vscode/mcp.json or user mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "starreel": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@starreel/mcp"],
      "env": { "STARREEL_API_KEY": "srk_live_xxx" }
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI — ~/.gemini/settings.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "starreel": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@starreel/mcp"],
      "env": { "STARREEL_API_KEY": "srk_live_xxx" }
    }
  }
}

No Node / can't run npx? (Coze, Dify, GPTs, custom agents)

Drive the same pipeline over REST (/v1/produce/*) and paste SKILL.md into your system prompt — it carries the full workflow order, billing disciplines, and failure playbook. See the API docs.
