claude mcp add --transport http vividemo https://vividemo.com/mcp
claude mcp login vividemoThe second command opens Vividemo in your browser. Choose Allow, then go back to the terminal. Start a new Claude Code session and the Vividemo tools are there, under the name vividemo.

- Go to chatgpt.com/plugins.
- Select the plus button, then Add custom MCP server.
- Enter a name and a description. Under Connection, enter the server URL
https://vividemo.com/mcp. - Set up authentication, read the warning and select I understand and want to continue.
- Select Create as a plugin. When asked, sign in to Vividemo and choose Allow.
- Start a new chat, type @ and select Vividemo.
Whether you can add a custom MCP server depends on your ChatGPT plan and workspace settings.
Other MCP clients
Add https://vividemo.com/mcp as a remote server. The transport is Streamable HTTP. Sign-in is OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, and the client identifies itself with a Client ID Metadata Document.
What you can ask for
Describe the video you want, the way you would brief an editor: what it's for, who will watch it, how long it should be and what material to use. Your assistant passes that to Vividemo's agent and brings back its questions, its plan and the finished video. Some things to try:
- “Use Vividemo to make a 60-second explainer video for https://example.com, with English narration and captions, in 16:9.”
- “Ask Vividemo for a 15-second vertical ad for this product page: https://example.com/products/lantern. Show me its plan before it makes anything.”
- “Check my latest Vividemo project. What did the agent say, and is it waiting for me?”
- “Tell Vividemo to make the opening shot wider and leave the rest as it is.”
- “Get me the download link for the finished video.”
To use your own footage, images or documents, put a public link in your message. An assistant that can run commands on your computer, such as Claude Code, can also upload local files: up to 20 with each message, each up to 5 GB.
The 7 tools
Your assistant chooses the tools for you. This is what each one does:
| Tool | What it does | Uses credits |
|---|---|---|
list_projects | Lists your video projects, newest first, with each one's status and latest message. | No |
get_project | Reads one project: its status, the conversation with Vividemo's agent and your credit balance. It can wait up to 30 seconds for news. | No |
get_file_links | Lists a project's files with download links. | No |
create_project | Starts a new project. With a message, Vividemo's agent starts working on it right away. | When the agent works |
send_message | Sends your answer, approval or change request to the agent. | When the agent works |
create_upload | Gets upload links for footage, images, audio or documents on your computer. | No |
abort | Asks the agent to stop. It keeps the files made so far. | No |
What you allow when you connect
When you connect, Vividemo shows which app is asking and which account it will use, and asks you to allow three things:
- View your projects, messages, and files
- Create projects, send messages, and upload files. Work it starts uses your credits.
- Stay connected without asking you to sign in each time
The app can reach only the projects in your own account. It never sees your password. To disconnect, remove the connector in your assistant.
What it costs
Connecting is free. So are listing projects, checking progress and getting files. Credits are used when Vividemo's agent works on a message, and they come from the same balance as on vividemo.com. Your assistant can read that balance with the project.
Credits are metered usage, not a fixed price per video. Generated footage uses the most. These finished videos show the range:
| Video | How it was made | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| 77-second product demo | Real website samples, narration and music. No generated footage. | 145 |
| 10-second vertical Reel | Generated skating footage (Seedance 2.5) and music. | 505 |
| 60-second science explainer | Two generated 3D shots (Kling 4.0), motion graphics, narration and music. | 740 |
| 3-minute animated short film | Shots from 25 Seedance 2.5 generations, an original score and voice lines. | 11,576 |
Before paid video generation, the agent explains its plan and checks the direction with you, unless your brief already settles it. See pricing for credit packs and plans.
How long a video takes
A video takes from several minutes to a few hours, depending on its length and how much footage has to be generated. Two examples:
- A 77-second product explainer: first cut 51 minutes after the brief, 126 credits.
- An 87-second animated brand film: 26 minutes of agent working time, 3,757 credits.
The work runs on Vividemo, not in your chat. You can close the chat and ask your assistant to check on the project later, or open it on vividemo.com. When the agent needs a decision, it stops and waits for your reply.
The files you get
The finished video is an MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio). Ask your assistant for the download link. A link works for about 15 minutes, and you can ask for a fresh one at any time.
Each revision is saved as a new file, so earlier versions stay available. Project files are kept for 30 days after the project's last activity.
Vividemo MCP FAQ
What is the Vividemo MCP server?
It connects an AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT to your Vividemo account. From the assistant's chat you can start a video project, answer Vividemo's questions, ask for changes and get the finished video. The video is made by Vividemo's own production agent, which plans, makes, edits and renders it.
Is the Vividemo MCP server free?
Connecting is free, and so is checking on projects and getting files. Work done by Vividemo's agent uses the same credits as on vividemo.com. New accounts get 500 free credits once their email is verified. After that, buy a credit pack from $10 or subscribe; see pricing.
How do I connect Vividemo to Claude?
In Claude, open Customize > Connectors, select Add, then Add custom connector, and enter the server URL. Then click Connect and sign in to Vividemo. In Claude Code, run the two commands on this page. You don't need an API key.
Is it different from using vividemo.com?
It's the same account, the same projects and the same credits. A project started from your assistant shows up on vividemo.com, and you can continue it in either place. The website also shows the credits used as the work goes.
What can my assistant see?
Only your own Vividemo projects: their conversations, their files and your credit balance. What your assistant sends to Vividemo is stored in your account like a message you send on the website. See our Privacy Policy.
Create your Vividemo account, then add the server URL to your assistant.
