CraftStory MCP

What it does

CraftStory's own MIT-licensed server drives its API from any MCP client: long-form talking-avatar videos built from a single photo and a voice track (CraftStory 2.0), short MiniMax H3 clips in basic, reference and avatar modes, TTS from a voice library, upscaling, images, music and sound effects. A preview_cost tool quotes credits before anything renders. For a filmmaker-agent it is a presenter and talking-head pipeline that can also produce its own dialogue, cutaways and bed music under one account.

Sample tools

Field notes

Verified 20 Oct 2026 against CraftStory's MCP page, the repo README and npm; no tools were run. The npm package @craftstory/mcp is at 0.6.0 (published 2026-10-14, Node 20+) and maintained from a craftstory.com account; the repo lives in the itseez3d org, is MIT, created 2026-09-12 and pushed 2026-10-14 — new and active, but zero stars, so it has no track record yet. The hosted remote's protected-resource metadata points at an Auth0 tenant, and the README has you paste a fixed public OAuth Client ID (hAlwpyaDeO0CmuEKMibZxiXxtTT09NXL, no secret) into the connector's advanced settings rather than relying on dynamic registration — so in Claude Code the stdio command above is the documented route. The hosted remote cannot read local paths or chat attachments; use public URLs or the request_file_upload one-time page. Locally, any file path you pass is uploaded to CraftStory, so keep tool approvals on. API access needs a paid plan (the README names Producer); generations spend app credits and failed jobs are refunded. Long renders are async and wait_for_job returns after at most 55 s, so expect the agent to poll several times. Signed result URLs expire after 7 days — download masters promptly.
