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. Its docs page (last updated Aug 11 2026) is titled 'MCP (deprecated)' and states plainly: new installations are not recommended, and the hosted MCP will shut down no earlier than Aug 31 2026. 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 versioned with Remotion core (4.0.508, Aug 11 2026), so the install command still resolves today; that is not a reason to use it. 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.
