Video Render MCP
Fireship-style short videos from a topic — Remotion motion graphics, word-timed captions, 1080p.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http video-render-mcp 'https://video-render.regiq.in/api/mcp' --header 'Authorization: <Bearer <API key from https://video-render.regiq.in/dashboard>>'
{
"mcpServers": {
"video-render-mcp": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://video-render.regiq.in/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "<Bearer <API key from https://video-render.regiq.in/dashboard>>"
}
}

Built by **Shreyas** · Shipped by **Globalion**
An MCP server that turns a script into a Hyperplexed-style motion-graphics MP4.
Plug the URL into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible agent and it
gains a render_video tool.
- No watermark. Ever.
- Free voice (Microsoft Edge Neural TTS). Optional ElevenLabs upgrade via env var.
- Motion graphics via Remotion — same engine Fireship-style channels use.
- MCP over streamable-HTTP — one URL, no local installation for the user.
Hosted for free at video-render.regiq.in (20 renders/day per Google account) or self-host with the Docker Compose below.
Use it (hosted)
- Visit https://video-render.regiq.in and sign in with Google.
- Copy your API key from the dashboard.
- Add to Claude Desktop's
claude_desktop_config.json:{ "mcpServers": { "video-render": { "url": "https://video-render.regiq.in/api/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY_HERE" } } } } - Restart Claude Desktop. Ask it: "Make a 30-second promo video for X, Fireship style, then hand me the MP4."
The agent will call plan_video_scenes, show you the plan, and — on your
confirmation — call render_video and return a downloadable MP4 URL.
Tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
plan_video_scenes | Fill a ScenePlan schema (title, targetDurationSec 5–180, script, 1–12 scenes, voice, accent). Returns the plan for user review — no server work. |
render_video | Synthesise narration + render the MP4. Returns { videoUrl, durationSec, sizeBytes }. The URL is valid for 7 days. |
Both tools take the same ScenePlan shape:
{
title: string;
targetDurationSec: number; // 5..180
script: string; // Claude sizes it to ~150 wpm × duration
voice: "male-uk" | "female-uk" | "male-us" | "female-us";
scenes: Array<
| { type: "title"; copy: string; subtitle?: string }
| { type: "code"; language: string; snippet: string; caption?: string; highlightLines?: number[] }
| { type: "stat"; big: string; small: string }
| { type: "cta"; url: string; copy: string }
>;
music?: "upbeat" | "chill" | "tense" | "none";
accent?: string; // hex, defaults to "#0D9488"
}
Self-host
You'll need:
- Docker + Compose
- A Google OAuth client — Cloud Console
- A domain pointed at the server (or run on
localhost:3010)
Then:
git clone https://github.com/globalion/video-render-mcp
cd video-render-mcp
cp .env.example .env
# edit .env — set NEXTAUTH_SECRET, GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID/SECRET, NEXTAUTH_URL, PUBLIC_BASE_URL
docker compose up -d
Open http://localhost:3010, sign in, copy your key, point Claude Desktop at
http://localhost:3010/api/mcp.
Limits (hosted tier)
- 20 successful renders per Google account per UTC day
- 720p H.264
- Up to 180-second videos
- MP4s expire 7 days after render
Self-host removes all of these.
