Remotion MCP

What it does

Remotion's official MCP server indexed the entire Remotion documentation into a vector store so coding agents could correctly build React-based videos, animated graphics, and captions. Remotion has now deprecated it: the docs direct you to install Remotion Agent Skills and use /remotion-docs instead, and the hosted MCP is scheduled to shut down. Listed for continuity, not as a recommendation — do not wire it into a new pipeline.

Field notes

Deprecated by Remotion, and the shutdown window is open. As of 10 Oct 2026 the docs page is still titled 'MCP (deprecated)' and still says the hosted MCP will shut down no earlier than Aug 31 2026 — that date has passed, so assume the hosted side can go dark at any moment and do not wire it into anything. Remotion's stated reasons are that it pays the token costs for MCP requests and that agents do not invoke MCP servers reliably. The replacement is `npx remotion skills add` plus the /remotion-docs skill — a skill, not an MCP server, so it falls outside this directory. The npm package @remotion/mcp is still published and still version-locked to Remotion core (4.0.534 on 7 Oct 2026, still moving with every core release), so the install command keeps resolving; that is release automation dragging the package along with the monorepo, not maintenance, and the package README says nothing about the deprecation at all. Remotion itself requires a paid company license for teams over three people. gyoridavid/short-video-maker (1.3k stars) is often cited as a Remotion-powered video MCP but has not been pushed since Jun 2025.
