json2video MCP

Communityby Community (omergocmen)freemiumverified Oct 13, 2026

Superseded community wrapper — JSON2Video now ships its own MCP.

What it does

Community MCP wrapper for json2video.com: assemble scenes of video, images, text, HTML, voice, and subtitles as JSON and render server-side. JSON2Video has since shipped an official MCP of its own, listed here as `json2video-cli`, with thirteen tools against this one's four and a vendor keeping it current. This entry stays for the configs that already point at it; new pipelines should use the official server.

Field notes

Use `json2video-cli` instead. Re-checked 13 Oct 2026 and nothing here has moved: still 26 stars, repo last pushed May 10 2025, npm @omerrgocmen/json2video-mcp still 1.3.1 from May 7 2025 — seventeen months untouched, and the GitHub repo carries no LICENSE file even though the npm manifest claims MIT. It still installs and json2video.com is still up, so it is not broken, merely abandoned. What changed is the alternative: JSON2Video published its own MCP inside the @json2video/cli package (Apr 2026), covering render, status, validation, templates, examples, account and full media-library management. Between an official server and a wrapper nobody has touched since the year before last, take the official one. Shotstack's official MCP, also in this directory, remains the other vendor-maintained route to cloud JSON video assembly.
