Full READMEStarReel MCP
Turn a script into a finished, downloadable short-drama episode — from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.
StarReel is a prepaid AI video-production pipeline. This MCP server exposes the whole factory — 120+ tools covering every stage — so an AI agent can take a raw script all the way to a finished .mp4:
script → AI rewrite → cast / scenes / props extraction → storyboards
→ character portraits & sheets (anchor the people) + scene plates (anchor the backdrops)
→ keyframes → video shots → voiceover (TTS) → final cut (.mp4 link)It is a thin, open client: all the heavy lifting (character-consistency gates, frame chaining, best-of-N auditing, billing) runs server-side at starreel.ai.
Quick start
- Create an API key with
producescope in StarReel → Settings → API Keys
(srk_live_..., shown once).
- Add the server to Claude Code:
claude mcp add starreel -e STARREEL_API_KEY=srk_live_xxx -- npx -y @starreel/mcpOr install the Claude Code plugin — MCP server + agent skill in one step (set STARREEL_API_KEY in your shell first):
/plugin marketplace add starreel/starreel-mcp
/plugin install starreel@starreel- Ask your agent: *"Take this script and produce a full episode:
<your script>"* —
it will quote each paid stage first and only spend after you confirm.
