A video tool for any MCP client

makevideo ships an MCP server over stdio:

npx -y github:random00000000/makevideo mcp

Configure your client

Most clients accept this shape (Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json, Cursor .cursor/mcp.json, VS Code mcp.json, and others):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "makevideo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "github:random00000000/makevideo", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code: claude mcp add makevideo -- npx -y github:random00000000/makevideo mcp, or install the plugin (/plugin marketplace add random00000000/makevideo), which bundles the server and a skill.

From the official MCP Registry

makevideo is listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.random00000000/makevideo, as a Docker image. Clients that browse the registry can install it from there. To run the image yourself:

docker run -i --rm -v "$PWD:/work" -w /work ghcr.io/random00000000/makevideo mcp

Mount the folder that holds your Markdown and media at /work; rendered MP4s land there too.

Tools

tool	what it does
`make_video`	Render Markdown or a JSON spec to MP4 (+ captions, poster, report). `fast: true` for the fast voice. Streams progress notifications.
`preview_video`	One still per scene as an image the model can look at, plus lint suggestions. ~1 s, no audio.
`check_video`	Instant validation: problems, quality warnings, estimated duration.
`video_reference`	Scene types with examples, transitions, voices, themes, formats and the Markdown syntax.

Tips

Pass baseDir so relative media paths (clips, images) resolve where your files are.
First renders download the voice model; run npx -y github:random00000000/makevideo setup once on new machines.
