Reel Estate MCP server

reel-estate-mcp

Turn real-estate listing photos into cinematic property videos from your AI assistant. reel-estate-mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects Claude, Cursor, and other AI assistants to your Reel Estate account — so you can generate motion clips, AI-edit photos (virtual staging, twilight, seasonal), add voiceover, and render finished listing videos, all in plain language.

Reel Estate is the AI real-estate video platform that turns property photos into

scroll-stopping listing videos. Create a free account at

tryreelestate.com.

You sign in once through your browser (OAuth + PKCE — no API keys, no secrets), and every call is proxied through the backend's /mcp endpoint, which stays the single authority for auth, plans, and permissions. This bridge's one superpower on top of that: it can read local image files and stream them straight into a project — something a purely remote server can't do.

• 🎬 Generate real-estate videos — animate photos into clips, then render the movie
• 🖼️ AI photo editing — virtual staging, twilight, upscale, seasonal, replace/remove/add
• 🎙️ Voiceover & timeline — narration, music, overlays, reordering
• 📤 Local uploads — push photos from disk into a project
• 🔐 Browser sign-in — public OAuth client + PKCE; nothing secret stored
• 🤖 Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Cursor

Requirements

required to create/generate/render; free accounts are read-only over the MCP)

• Node.js 18+
• A Reel Estate account (a paid plan is

• An MCP-compatible client: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Cursor

Install

Nothing to clone or build — your MCP client launches it on demand via npx. You only need Node.js ≥ 18. (Prefer a global command? npm install -g reel-estate-mcp, then use reel-estate-mcp in place of npx -y reel-estate-mcp below.)

Connect your assistant

Zero config — the bridge connects to Reel Estate and handles browser sign-in for you. There's nothing to set up.

Claude Code

claude mcp add reel-estate -- npx -y reel-estate-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Add to your client's MCP config (claudedesktopconfig.json, ~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reel-estate": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "reel-estate-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

First run — sign in

The first tool call opens your browser to sign in with your Reel Estate account (Clerk OAuth, authorization code + PKCE). After you approve, the browser returns to http://localhost:8765/callback, tokens cache under ~/.reel-estate-mcp, and you're in — you won't log in again until the token expires.

Start with whoami to confirm auth and see your plan, then just ask:

• "List my recent projects."
• "Create a project for 123 Main St and upload the photos in ./listing."
• "Virtually stage the living room photo, generate a drone clip, then render in 9:16."
• "How many credits and exports do I have left?"

To switch users or re-authorize, run logout (revokes server-side + clears the cache) or delete ~/.reel-estate-mcp.

Tools

All API tools proxy through the backend's /mcp api_request, so the backend's own authorization and plan rules apply.
