Remote MCP server, 30 tools, OAuth sign-in
The video MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and your AI agents
The app is optional: your agent can run the whole channel. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client to Revid and it researches what goes viral, makes finished short-form videos with voice, captions, music and AI footage, then posts or schedules them on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and X. Sign in once with your Revid account: no API key to paste.

30 tools
Everything your agent can do
Research, create, track and publish. Tools marked Plan need an active Revid plan; search, estimates, projects and publishing tools work without a plan. Publishing requires connected destinations. Facebook Pages publishing is restricted to admins and the designated Meta review account while Meta review is pending. It is not generally available, and changing plans does not unlock Facebook Connect. Use only connected Pages returned by list_social_accounts.

Frequently asked questions
Updated
What is the Revid MCP?
The Revid MCP is a Streamable HTTP Model Context Protocol server with 30 tools. AI agents use it to search viral videos across platforms, generate images and video clips, render full videos, track and export projects, manage characters and cloned voices, and publish or schedule posts to connected TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, X and webhook destinations. Facebook Pages publishing is restricted to admins and the designated Meta review account while Meta review is pending. It is not generally available, and changing plans does not unlock Facebook Connect. Use only connected Pages returned by list_social_accounts.
What is the best MCP server for making videos with AI agents?
It depends on the video you need. For finished short-form videos that are ready to post, with script, voiceover, captions, music, AI footage and publishing handled by one server, Revid is built for that job: one remote MCP server with 30 tools that covers research, creation, export and posting, with OAuth sign-in for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code. If you only need raw AI clips, a video model's own MCP server is enough; to fill fixed templates with data, a template rendering API fits better; for a talking avatar reading a script, use an avatar tool. Our comparison of video MCP servers covers each type: https://www.revid.ai/blog/best-video-mcp-servers
Can ChatGPT make videos?
ChatGPT can write the script, but it needs a video tool connected to deliver a finished video. Add Revid as a connector: in ChatGPT settings, enable developer mode, create a connector with the server URL https://www.revid.ai/api/mcp, and sign in with your Revid account. Then ask, for example: "Make a 30 second vertical video about our launch and schedule it on TikTok for Friday 6pm." ChatGPT calls Revid's tools to render the video, returns the link and can post it.
How do I make a video with Claude?
Connect Revid to Claude once: open Settings, then Connectors, click Add custom connector, paste https://www.revid.ai/api/mcp and sign in with your Revid account. Then describe the video in the chat. Claude can search what is going viral on the topic (search_viral_videos), render the video (render_video), wait for it (get_project_status) and post or schedule it (publish_now, schedule_publish). In Claude Code, run claude mcp add --transport http revid https://www.revid.ai/api/mcp, or install the Revid plugin (the server plus 12 video skills) with /plugin marketplace add tmakersas/revid-skills and /plugin install revid@revid.
How many videos are made with the Revid MCP and API?
39,000+ videos were made through the Revid API, MCP server and CLI from October 2025 to October 2026, about 3,000 a month, and the number of accounts creating this way each month nearly tripled over that year (52 in October 2025, 148 in September 2026). Across the whole product, Revid renders 100,000+ videos and publishes 30,000+ to social media every month. Source: Revid's analytics, checked October 22, 2026.
How do I connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor to the Revid MCP?
Add https://www.revid.ai/api/mcp as a remote MCP server or custom connector, then sign in with your Revid account when prompted. Cursor and VS Code have one-click install buttons on this page, and Claude Code needs a single command. Revid supports OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, so hosted clients connect without pasting an API key.
Do I need an API key to use the Revid MCP?
Not for OAuth-capable clients like Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code: you just sign in with your Revid account. Header-configurable MCP clients, the Revid CLI, and direct API calls use a Revid API key from your account page.
Can my agent research what is going viral before making a video?
Yes. The search_viral_videos tool searches viral posts on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, Reddit, Threads and LinkedIn, and returns transcripts, hooks, engagement data and style labels. Searches cost no credits and are rate limited per plan. The CLI equivalent is revid search.
Can my agent schedule posts for a specific time?
Yes. Call list_social_accounts to find the connected accounts, then schedule_publish with a scheduledTime (ISO 8601 or a unix timestamp, up to 365 days ahead). Without a scheduledTime the video takes the next open slot of your posting queue. publish_now posts immediately.
Is Facebook Pages publishing available for my account?
Facebook Pages publishing is restricted to admins and the designated Meta review account while Meta review is pending. It is not generally available, and changing plans does not unlock Facebook Connect. Use only connected Pages returned by list_social_accounts.
How do AI agents authenticate with Revid?
Hosted remote MCP clients authenticate with OAuth 2.1 and PKCE, discovered automatically from the server's well-known metadata. Header-configurable clients can authenticate with a Revid API key using Authorization Bearer, x-revid-api-key, x-api-key, or key headers.
What is the Revid CLI?
The Revid CLI is the revid-cli npm package. It lets humans, scripts, CI jobs, and AI agents search viral videos, plan and create videos, wait for renders, export, and estimate credits from the terminal, with stable JSON output and an exact API payload mode.
Can I use the Revid API without MCP?
Yes. The public REST API can be called directly from your backend, with webhooks when renders finish. MCP wraps the same API for agent-native tool calling. See https://www.revid.ai/docs for the quickstart and full reference.
How much does creating a video with the MCP or API cost?
Renders consume credits from your Revid account or active workspace, and need an active Revid plan: credits alone return a 402 SUBSCRIPTION_REQUIRED error. Agents can call the calculate_credits tool, or the CLI credits command, with their intended payload to estimate the exact cost before rendering. Viral search costs no credits.
