How do I use VIDEO AI ME with Grok Bot?

Last updated: September 9, 2026

Grok Bot runs on a persistent cloud computer, so it connects to the hosted VIDEO AI ME server directly: open the Bot settings, then Plugins, add a custom connector with https://videoai.me/api/v1/mcp and an Authorization header of Bearer va_live_YOUR_KEY, then attach the tools to a task. Create the key at videoai.me/developers on a Pro or Premium plan.

How do I connect Grok Bot to VIDEO AI ME?

1.Create an API key
Log in at videoai.me and open /developers (Developers in the sidebar). Create a key, optionally with a budget cap in dollars so an agent can never overspend, and copy the full va_live_... value immediately: it is shown exactly once. API keys require an active Pro ($99/month) or Premium ($199/month) subscription.
2.Add VIDEO AI ME as a custom connector
In your Bot, open Settings, then Plugins, and add a custom connector. Paste the server URL and set the Authorization header to your key. Grok Bot only attaches remote MCP servers, which is exactly what the hosted VIDEO AI ME endpoint is; no local process is involved.

Server URL:    https://videoai.me/api/v1/mcp
Authorization: Bearer va_live_YOUR_KEY
```
3.Attach the tools to a task or routine
In a Bot chat, reference the connector with @ and describe the job, for example: "Every Monday, make a 15 second UGC ad from our newest product page, caption it, and schedule it to TikTok and Instagram at 6pm". The Bot quotes the credit cost and confirms the platform list before each run, and a budget cap on the key bounds what an unattended routine can spend.

What can Grok Bot 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.

Grok Bot setup questions

Direct answers about connecting Grok Bot to VIDEO AI ME.

Why does Grok Bot reject MCP servers on localhost but accept VIDEO AI ME?

Because the Bot works from a cloud computer that cannot reach processes on your laptop. VIDEO AI ME is hosted at a public URL over streamable HTTP with Bearer authentication, so the Bot reaches it like any other web service, day and night.

Is it safe to store my VIDEO AI ME key as a Grok Bot secret?

Store it in the Bot secret store, never in a task prompt. The key can carry a dollar budget cap set at videoai.me/developers, and revoking it there cuts the Bot off immediately; the old key stops working within seconds, and you can issue a fresh one for the Bot.

Can a Grok Bot routine publish videos while I am away?

Yes, within two guards. Maker skills quote their credit cost first and publishing skills confirm the platform list, so a routine must approve those steps explicitly in its instructions. A budget cap on the key bounds the total spend, and get_performance lets the Bot report results back to you.

How does Grok Bot know when a long VIDEO AI ME render is finished?

Maker skills return a run id at once and the Bot polls check_run, which reports status and the final video URL. Because the Bot never sleeps, it can wait out a 20 minute render and continue the task; alternatively a signed completion webhook can be registered with PUT /api/v1/webhook.

Which VIDEO AI ME plan do I need for Grok Bot?

Pro ($99/month) or Premium ($199/month). API keys are only issued on those plans, and the same key works for the REST API, so a Bot routine and your own scripts can share it or use separate keys with separate budget caps.
