What data it sees

Do you need an account

No: the server works without sign-in

Rendley’s MCP server gives your AI client a full video editor. Connect it once, then create and edit video by describing what you want, in the same chat you already work in. The client uses your own footage, your brand kit, and Rendley’s stock and AI tools, and hands back a finished file.

Server tool list (13)

Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

list_workspacesList the workspaces the user can access.
list_projectsList the video projects in a workspace, or across all of the user's workspaces if none is given.
create_projectCreate a new video project. Defaults to the user's first workspace unless you pass one.
get_projectGet a single project's details, including its name, duration, and when it was last updated.
delete_projectPermanently delete a project and everything in it. This can't be undone.
get_accountReturns an overview of the user's account. Reports their plan and its status, credit balance, how much storage they have used and how much remains, how many projects, workspaces, and transcription minutes they have used against their limits, and whether they have access to the Brand Kit.
edit_videoCreate or edit a video through text, using the user's own footage or letting Rendley supply it. Use it for any video creation or editing task.
export_projectOnly use this when the user explicitly asks to export or download the video; creating or editing a project does not mean they want it exported. Render a project into a finished video file and wait for it. If the render finishes in time, this returns the download link; if it takes longer than a few minutes, it returns an export id, so call `check_export` with that id to keep waiting. Exporting through this tool needs a paid plan. If the user is on the free plan, tell them to open the project (the project_url) and export from there, where 720p is free.
check_exportContinue waiting for an export, using the export id export_project returned when it was still rendering. Waits up to a few minutes and returns the download link when ready, or asks you to call again if it is still going.
get_brandkitList the workspace's brand kit, the saved brand colors and reusable assets such as logos, images, and music. Use it to find brand colors or assets to use in edit_video.
add_brand_colorsAdd one or more brand colors (hex, e.g. #FF5A1F) to the workspace brand kit. The brand kit is a paid feature; if it isn't available on the user's plan, let them know it requires a paid plan.
add_brand_assetsAdd assets to the workspace brand kit from the user's local files or from public links. Files return an upload_url each to PUT the bytes to; links are fetched and added right away. The brand kit is a paid feature; if it isn't available on the user's plan, let them know it requires a paid plan.
add_filesAdd the user's own local or attached files to a project so edit_video can use them.
