ManyMotions MCP for any AI agent.
Connect ManyMotions to your agent and generate images and video — and drive the Media Studio editor — straight from your prompts. One hosted endpoint, your credits.
https://manymotions.com/api/mcpMedia Studio is the single home for every piece of creative work.
Every ad, VSL, and source element — scenes, takes, overlays, captions, and audio stems (music and voice on separate tracks) — lives in a project as individually editable clips on a timeline. Agents (over this MCP) and humans (in the dashboard) edit the same project, by clip id, deterministically: swap a clip, replace an end-card, split music from voice, retime a caption — without re-rendering the whole thing from scratch.
The loop is always generate or upload → it lands in the library → place it on the timeline → refine by id → export. Bulk-load a whole back-catalog once, then every future tweak is a few calls, not a rebuild. Large files skip the request body entirely via presigned upload.
Bulk-load a folder onto a timeline
Large files skip the request body via a presigned upload. Loop: request_upload → PUT the bytes →add_reference → add_clip. Then export.
import requests, os, glob
API = "https://manymotions.com/api/mcp"; KEY = "cw_live_…"
def tool(name, args):
r = requests.post(API, json={"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call",
"params":{"name":name,"arguments":args}},
headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {KEY}"})
return r.json()["result"] # {content:[{text}]} → parse the JSON text
pid = tool("video_editor_create_project",
{"name":"My video","aspect_ratio":"9:16"})["project_id"]
for path in sorted(glob.glob("clips/*.mp4")):
up = tool("video_editor_request_upload",
{"filename": os.path.basename(path), "content_type":"video/mp4"})
requests.put(up["upload_url"], data=open(path,"rb").read(),
headers={"Content-Type":"video/mp4"}) # no size cap
asset = tool("video_editor_add_reference",
{"project_id": pid, "url": up["file_url"]})
tool("video_editor_add_clip", # LIBRARY → TIMELINE
{"project_id": pid, "asset_id": asset["asset_id"], "track":"video"})
tool("video_editor_get_timeline", {"project_id": pid}) # verify durations
tool("video_editor_export", {"project_id": pid}) # → video_urlSmall files (< ~6 MB) can skip the presign and use video_editor_upload_file with base64. Audio goes on track:"voice"|"music"|"sfx"; images become stills via duration_sec.
Connect in three steps.
Create an API key
Grab a cw_live_ key from /dashboard/api-keys. (Claude connectors and other OAuth clients skip this — you just sign in.)
Add the connector
Point your agent at the ManyMotions endpoint below and pass the key as a Bearer header.
Connect & create
Sign in, then ask your agent to generate — it runs on your account's credits.
Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → URL: https://manymotions.com/api/mcp → Connect → sign in to ManyMotions
OAuth handles the rest — Claude registers itself and asks you to sign in once.
claude mcp add manymotions \ --transport http https://manymotions.com/api/mcp \ --header "Authorization: Bearer cw_live_…" # or skip the key and use OAuth: # omit --header, then run /mcp → authenticate
{
"mcpServers": {
"manymotions": {
"url": "https://manymotions.com/api/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer cw_live_…" }
}
}
}Just describe it. ManyMotions builds it.
Generate images
"5 product shots of my serum, soft studio lighting, 1:1"
Generate video
"a 15-second skincare UGC ad with captions"
Edit in Media Studio
"add scene 2, crossfade between clips, then export"
Build a full ad
"script → scenes → voiceover → lip-sync → one MP4"
The toolset
Generation + the full Media Studio editor. The endpoint self-briefs on connect, so agents learn these automatically.
list_modelsModel catalog with capabilities. Call first — never guess a model_id.
media_forge_generateGenerate video or image. Async → returns a job_id.
job_statusPoll a job until completed, then read result.video / result.images.
video_editor_create_projectCreate a project (shared library + timelines).
video_editor_list_projectsList the user's projects.
video_editor_create_videoAdd another video to a project.
video_editor_get_stateInspect a video's timeline + library + context.
video_editor_set_contextSet the creative brief the agent reads each turn.
video_editor_instructOne natural-language instruction (generate a scene, add subtitles, set a transition…).
video_editor_add_clipPlace a library asset on the timeline by id.
video_editor_add_referenceImport a public image/video/audio URL into the library.
video_editor_upload_fileUpload raw file bytes into the library.
video_editor_exportStitch the timeline into one MP4. Returns a video_url.
list_models → pick an exact model id
video_editor_create_project → { project_id }
video_editor_instruct "scene 1: …" → generates + places a clip
video_editor_instruct "scene 2: …, continue the look"
…add subtitles / set a transition
video_editor_get_state(video_id) → verify the timeline
video_editor_export → { video_url }Apps for Claude, Muse, Kimi, Manus and Perplexity
Three focused apps on the same ManyMotions account and credits, each with its own endpoint. In Claude, add the Claude URL under Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector; Muse lists the Muse URL as a connector; Kimi plugins use the Kimi URL as their MCP server; in Manus and Perplexity, add the Manus or Perplexity URL as a custom MCP connector.
Logo concepts from a brand brief. Adjust colors, style, ratio and the number of concepts in an interactive panel, then render up to four PNG concepts. Raster output only: no vector export or trademark checks.

- Preparing a project is free and, on Claude, Muse and Kimi, needs no sign-in; Manus and Perplexity ask you to sign in when you add the connector.
- The first render asks you to sign in to ManyMotions (OAuth). Rendering uses the account's credits and needs verified paid access; failed jobs are refunded.
- Claude shows an interactive panel for images, videos and logos; Muse, Kimi, Manus and Perplexity work in text and return links to the results.
- Prompts and settings are stored in your ManyMotions account and sent to the generation providers. See the privacy policy; for help, support.
Single-purpose apps for Claude, Kimi and Muse
One job each, on the same ManyMotions account and credits. In Claude, add the Claude URL under Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector; Kimi plugins and Muse connectors use their own URL and work in text. Preparing is free and needs no sign-in; the first render asks you to sign in and uses the account's credits.
A cinematic text-to-video shot: describe the scene and pick one of 61 named camera moves (dolly, crane, orbit, crash zoom, dolly zoom, FPV drone, bullet time…), shot size, lighting, look, format and a cinema video model (Veo, Kling, Seedance, Wan). Review it in the panel, then render.

Questions, answered.
Which agents are supported?
Key or login?
cw_live_ Bearer key. OAuth clients — including Claude's custom connectors — just have you sign in: discovery, dynamic client registration and PKCE are all automatic via /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/api/mcp.How do I connect?
Whose credits does it use?
What can it actually do?
Does it self-explain?
initialize response returns an instructions guide the agent reads automatically (auth, when to use each tool, the editor flow).
