ANSWER

Which AI video tools have an MCP server?

Short answer

Arc, Higgsfield, Runway, Topview and Hedra publish MCP servers that let an AI assistant such as Claude drive video generation; LTX Studio has a model API but we found no MCP server for Studio projects. Arc's server has 38 tools covering projects, scripts, references, storyboards, video and voice.

The Arc MCP server

SettingValue
Endpointhttps://arc.katechon.technology/mcp/
TransportStreamable HTTP
AuthenticationAuthorization: Bearer with a personal API key (arc- prefix); no OAuth flow
Tools38, in groups: Projects and source material (11), Planning and scripts (15), References, storyboards, video and voice (10), Generation batches (2)
BillingGenerations use the key owner's credits, as in the studio

Media tools submit generation batches and return at once; the agent polls the batch until it is done. Setup steps for Claude Code, Cursor and other clients are on the developers page.

How to choose

  • Many models and prebuilt ad workflows: Higgsfield's server.
  • First-party models and your existing Runway credits: Runway's server.
  • Product-link ads and avatars: Topview's server on its paid plans.
  • Talking-character video: Hedra's server.
  • Whole drama or ad productions (episode plans, scripts, references, storyboards, video and voice): Arc's server.

Before you connect one

  • Every one of these spends paid credits; an agent can spend them quickly. Start with small batches.
  • API keys are bearer credentials: keep them out of shared repositories and prompts.
  • Check each service's terms on automation. Showrunner's terms, for example, prohibit automated access.

Where Katechon Arc fits

Arc's MCP server exposes the full production workflow, so an agent can take a project from source text to rendered video with the same review steps as the studio.

Arc's server needs a paid account and an API key header (no OAuth sign-in), and it renders only on Seedance 2.0, Seedance 2.0 Fast, Seedance 2.0 Mini.

How do I connect Claude to an AI video generator?

Add the tool's MCP server to your Claude client with its URL and your API key or sign-in, then ask Claude to use its tools. Each provider documents the exact steps.

Is there a free AI video MCP server?

The servers are free to connect, but generations spend the account's paid credits; we found none that renders video for free.
