    How to connect

    How to connect vivideo to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://api.vivideo.ai/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    Authorization

    After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

    How to connect vivideo to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://api.vivideo.ai/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
    5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
    6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

    OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

    Authorization

    On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

    Server tool list (13)

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

    check_configurationCheck whether a Vivideo API key is present on this request. Call this FIRST. Returns { configured: boolean }. If false, ask the user to add an Authorization: Bearer vv_live_... header to the MCP server config (a key from https://app.vivideo.ai/account/api-keys). Never asks for or exposes the key.
    check_accountGet the account plan, premium status, and remaining credit balance. Use this to decide whether the user can generate a video (rendering needs a premium plan and enough credits). Returns plan, premium, credits, free_video_available, and links (upgrade / buy_credits). Cheap and safe to call often.
    list_modelsList the video models available for MANUAL mode plus the auto-generate pipeline (id "vivideo-auto"). Each model lists its operations, allowed durations, resolutions, aspect ratios, style presets and per-second credit rate — use these to build a valid create request. Filter with `mode` to keep the response small.
    list_avatarsList available avatars for auto-mode videos (the stock catalogue plus the account's own avatars). Stock avatars are grouped by person, each with a `looks` array — pass a looks[].avatar_id (or an owned avatar's id) as `avatar_id` in create_auto_video. Use `search`/`limit` to keep responses small.
    list_voicesList available voices for auto-mode videos. Returns voice ids to pass as `voice_id` in create_auto_video. Filter by language/gender/search and cap with `limit`. Voice cloning is not available via the API.
    list_brand_kitsList the account's brand kits (logo, colors, fonts, motion style). Returns brand_ref ids to pass as `brand_kit_id` in create_auto_video to produce an on-brand video.
    estimate_creditsEstimate the credits a generation will cost, from the published per-model rates — BEFORE creating it. This is an estimate, not a charge; the exact amount is returned as credits_charged when you create the video. Use it with check_account to confirm the user can afford the request.
    create_auto_videoCreate a video in AUTO mode: Vivideo writes the script and produces a complete AI-avatar video from your prompt. Returns immediately with a video id and status "processing" (paid) or "preview" (free accounts — see the preview field and upgrade link). Then call wait_for_video or get_video. An Idempotency-Key is sent automatically so a retry never creates a duplicate. Rendering requires a premium plan and credits.
    create_manual_videoCreate a video in MANUAL mode: send your prompt straight to a specific model (get ids/options from list_models). The operation is inferred from inputs — add image_url for image-to-video. resolution/duration/aspect_ratio must match the model (an invalid value returns a 400 listing what is allowed). Returns a video id and status; then wait_for_video or get_video. Idempotency handled automatically.
    get_videoGet a video's current status and result. status is one of queued | processing | completed | failed | preview. When completed, video_url is the MP4. When failed, credits are refunded and error explains why. Cheap; prefer wait_for_video for polling instead of calling this in a tight loop.
    wait_for_videoWait for a video to reach a terminal state (completed / failed / preview), then return it. Polls safely at the API-suggested interval for up to ~20 seconds per call (HTTP requests are time-capped). If it does not finish in time it returns { timed_out: true } with the latest status — simply call it again with the same id to keep waiting. It never blocks indefinitely or over-polls.
    list_videosList the account's videos, newest first. Filter by status and limit the count to keep responses small.
    render_previewFor FREE accounts only: after the user upgrades, render a video that was returned as status "preview". Charges run on the same project (the first video after upgrading is free). If the video is already rendering/complete, returns its current state. If the account is still free, returns an upgrade_required error with an upgrade link.
