CrewOne tools (11, 1 write)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • create_projectwrite action

    Create a new CrewOne project from a brief. Generates the full pre-production package (breakdown, storyboard prompts, location scout, call sheet, budget, optional lighting diagrams). Consumes 1 credit from the authenticated user's CrewOne plan. Requires CREWONE_API_KEY environment variable.

  • export_pdf

    Get a download URL for a project's PDF export. Requires CREWONE_API_KEY.

  • get_director

    Look up a single director in the CrewOne 30-MV-director and Taiwan-commercial-director reference library. Returns AI prompt tokens for video generation models (Veo, Kling, Higgsfield), representative works, and signature techniques.

  • get_photographer

    Look up a single photographer in the CrewOne 69-photographer style reference library. Returns hallmarks (lighting / palette / composition), AI prompt tokens for image generators, and representative works. Use this when a user asks for a specific photographer style (e.g. "Tim Walker style portrait", "蜷川實花 lighting").

  • get_project

    Fetch an existing CrewOne project by ID. Returns the full result JSON including all 6 documents. Requires CREWONE_API_KEY.

  • list_directors

    Browse the director reference library. Filter by region or genre.

  • list_photographers

    Browse the 69-photographer style reference library. Filter by region, cluster (lighting style group), or country.

  • recommend_director

    Given a project brief, recommend the top N directors from the reference library whose prompt tokens overlap the brief most. Use this when a video client asks "which director style fits my MV / commercial brief?" — saves the agent having to filter list_directors manually.

  • recommend_photographer

    Given a project brief, recommend the top N photographers from the 69-photographer library whose prompt tokens overlap the brief most. Returns scored matches with reasoning. Use this when a commercial-photo client asks "which photographer style fits my brand brief?" — saves the agent having to filter list_photographers manually.

  • search_equipment

    Search the CrewOne database of Taipei film equipment rental rates (1,187 SKUs covering camera bodies, lenses, lighting, grip, sound, monitors). Returns matching items with day rates in TWD. Free to use; no API key required.

  • search_studios

    Search the CrewOne database of Taiwan studios (561 studios with real rates and amenities). Returns matching studios with hourly / 4hr / day rates and key features (size, ceiling height, lighting, power, parking). Free to use.

Install CrewOne in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y @crewone/mcp-server on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says

From the CrewOne repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

@crewone/mcp-server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for CrewOne. Lets Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, Cline, and any other MCP-aware AI agent query Taiwan film equipment rates, studio rentals, photographer style references, MV/commercial director references, and (with API key) generate full pre-production packages.

What is this

CrewOne maintains a structured database of:

  • 1,187 real Taipei film equipment rental rates (cameras, lenses, lighting, grip, sound)
  • 561 real Taiwan studio rates with size, ceiling, lighting, power, parking
  • 69 commercial / fashion / portrait photographer style references with on-set lighting hallmarks and AI prompt tokens
  • 30+ MV and commercial director style references with prompt tokens for video generation models

This MCP server exposes that data (and the generative pipeline) to AI agents. When you ask Claude Desktop "how much does an FX6 rent for in Taipei" or "give me a Tim Walker–style lighting setup", the agent calls this server, gets a real answer, and replies.

Two tiers of tools

Free (no API key required)

These work as soon as the server is installed. Rate-limited server-side.

  • search_equipment(query, category) — find Taipei rental rates
  • searchstudios(sizepings, maxbudgetper_4h, amenities, location) — find Taiwan studios
  • get_photographer(name) — pull style reference for a specific photographer
  • list_photographers(region, cluster) — browse the 69-photographer library
  • get_director(name) — director reference
  • list_directors(region, genre) — browse the director library

Paid (requires CREWONEAPIKEY)

These consume credits from your CrewOne plan.

  • createproject(brief, type, photographerreferences?) — full package generation, 1 credit
  • getproject(projectid) — fetch existing project
  • exportpdf(projectid) — get PDF download URL

Get your API key at https://crewone.ai/dashboard/settings/api after signing up.

Install

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claudedesktopconfig.json (macOS) / %APPDATA%\Claude\claudedesktopconfig.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crewone": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@crewone/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "CREWONE_API_KEY": "your-key-here-or-omit-for-free-tools-only"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. CrewOne tools will appear in the tool palette.

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crewone": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@crewone/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "CREWONE_API_KEY": "..." }
    }
  }
}

Continue

In ~/.continue/config.json, add to the experimental.modelContextProtocolServers array:

{
  "transport": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@crewone/mcp-server"] },
  "env": { "CREWONE_API_KEY": "..." }
}

Cline / any other MCP client

Same npx -y @crewone/mcp-server command pattern. Set CREWONEAPIKEY if you want paid tools.

Example prompts

After installing, try these in your AI chat:

  • "List all Japanese photographers in CrewOne's library that lean into surreal high-saturation."

Paid tier (needs API key)
