iLoveVideoEditor MCP Server

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client) render videos with iLoveVideoEditor: list motion-design templates, fill in variables, submit JSON-to-MP4 render jobs, poll status, and get download URLs.

Quick start

Get an API key from the dashboard: ilovevideoeditor.com/dashboard/account/api

Add the server to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ilovevideoeditor": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@ilovevideoeditor/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "VF_API_KEY": "vf_live_xxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Development

npm install
npm run build    # tsc -> dist/
npm start        # stdio transport
npm run dev      # tsx watch

The server speaks MCP over stdio (diagnostics go to stderr). An optional --http flag enables HTTP/SSE transport for debugging.
