VideoGen MCP Server

What it does

VideoGen's official server wraps its whole API: four workflow tools turn a script, voiceover, slideshow or storyboard into an assembled video, and a media toolbox generates images, clips, speech, SFX, music and avatars, upscales stills and video, and strips backgrounds. Projects can be remixed and exported, and reusable entities keep a character or brand consistent across runs. For an agent it is a one-call rough cut for explainers and social pieces, not a narrative-film tool.

Field notes

Vendor-maintained (npm @videogen/mcp is published by videogen.io staff; v2.2.1 on 2026-09-15, MIT, repo pushed 2 Oct 2026) but brand new to the public: zero GitHub stars and submitted to MCP registries on 1 Oct 2026, so treat it as unproven. The hosted endpoint is stateless and reads your key from an Authorization header; the README also describes an OAuth 2.1 challenge for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf and ChatGPT Apps, with a separate /mcp/chatgpt variant. Long jobs return immediately on the hosted server — the Cloudflare proxy caps request time — so the agent has to poll get_workflow_run or get_tool_execution. Free-plan output carries a VideoGen watermark; Pro removes it, and neither the docs nor the README publish per-call credit costs. The local stdio package needs Node 20+. Output skews toward templated explainer and social video; for an editable timeline compare invideo or martini, and for raw model access fal.
