How do I use VIDEO AI ME with Claude?
Last updated:
Add VIDEO AI ME to Claude as a custom connector: in claude.ai open Settings, then Connectors, choose Add custom connector, paste https://videoai.me/api/v1/mcp, and sign in to VIDEO AI ME when Claude asks. No key to copy. Claude can then make UGC ads, explainers and talking-head videos and publish them, on a Pro or Premium plan.
How do I connect Claude to VIDEO AI ME?
1.Add the connector
In claude.ai (web or desktop app) open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector. Name it VIDEO AI ME and paste the server URL. Claude reads the server metadata and shows a Connect button.
Server URL
https://videoai.me/api/v1/mcp2.Sign in once
Click Connect. Claude opens the VIDEO AI ME sign-in and consent screen; approve it with the account that holds your Pro or Premium subscription. The connector keeps its own tokens, so there is no API key to copy or store. Prefer a key anyway? Create one at videoai.me/developers and use Claude Code or Claude Desktop instead.
3.Enable it in a chat and ask for a video
In a new chat, open the tools menu, switch the VIDEO AI ME connector on, and ask in plain language, for example: "Make a 20 second UGC ad for this product page and post it to TikTok tonight". Claude checks your brand and templates, quotes the credit cost, and waits for your OK before spending or posting. Claude Code uses the same sign-in with one command:
Terminal (Claude Code)
claude mcp add --transport http videoaime https://videoai.me/api/v1/mcp
What can Claude do once connected?
Every skill in the VIDEO AI ME registry: maker skills that generate UGC-style ads, product ads, explainers, and talking-head clips, publishing skills that post and schedule finished videos to your connected social accounts, free discovery skills for templates, actors, voices, and brand memory, and check_run for polling long runs. The full catalog with credit costs and typical durations is on the skill center page, and the REST API equivalent of every tool is described at https://videoai.me/api/v1/openapi.json.
What does access cost?
The API and MCP server are included with the Pro ($99/month) and Premium ($199/month) plans; there is no separate API price. Maker skills spend video credits from the plan's monthly allowance at 1 credit = 1 cent, always quoting the estimate first, and each API key can carry its own budget cap in dollars. Plans and allowances are on the pricing page.
Claude setup questions
Direct answers about connecting Claude to VIDEO AI ME.
Do I need an API key to use VIDEO AI ME in Claude?
No. The claude.ai connector authenticates with OAuth: you sign in to VIDEO AI ME once and Claude stores its own tokens. Keys are only needed for hosts that cannot run an OAuth flow, such as Cursor or Claude Desktop; those are created at videoai.me/developers on a Pro or Premium plan.
Which Claude apps support the VIDEO AI ME connector?
Custom connectors are managed in claude.ai and follow your account to the Claude desktop and mobile apps. Claude Code connects with a single claude mcp add command using the same OAuth sign-in, and Claude Desktop can bridge the server with mcp-remote and an API key if you prefer a local configuration file.
Can Claude post the video to my social accounts by itself?
Only after you confirm. Publishing skills such as publish_video and schedule_post always show the exact platform list and wait for your approval before touching a real account. Connect your TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and other accounts inside VIDEO AI ME first; Claude discovers them with list_platform_accounts.
What happens if I disconnect the VIDEO AI ME connector in Claude?
Claude drops its tokens immediately and the skills disappear from the tools menu; nothing in your VIDEO AI ME account changes and every video already made stays in your library. Reconnecting is the same three steps, and any API keys you created separately stay listed at videoai.me/developers.
Does Claude see the cost before it makes a video?
Yes. Every maker skill returns a credit estimate (1 credit = 1 cent) and pauses with needs_confirmation until you approve. Free discovery skills like list_templates and get_brand run without a quote, and check_run reports progress on long renders, so Claude can tell you when the file is ready.
