Documentation

Full README

Runway Dev

Runway Dev helps your coding agent build AI video, image and audio generation into your apps with Runway’s API, including Runway’s own models alongside the best from other labs.

What’s included

  • The Runway Dev MCP connects your agent to your Runway Developer Portal account. It can look up available models, prices and limits; set up Model Routers based on cost, speed or quality, with an optional credit cap; and manage real-time avatars. It can also inspect failed tasks and routing decisions to help you work out what to check next.
  • Skills show your agent how to integrate the API with the official SDKs, and how to build with models, Model Routers, Recipes, Workflows and real-time avatars.

This repository is the plugin: root manifests and MCP configuration load the seven active skills in skills/. Claude uses a separate plugin folder, claude/, described below. The install ID remains runway-api; the display name is Runway Dev.

Installing a plugin does not configure an application's API key or automatically create a Runway account. Public directory availability depends on each host's listing.

Claude Code

The Claude plugin lives in claude/, with its own manifest, MCP configuration and copies of the seven skills. It connects to https://dev.runwayml.com/mcp/claude, which omits the create_avatar tool; users create new avatars in the Developer Portal. Its skills validate integrations with local checks and leave live generations, Sessions, Recipe calls and Workflow invocations to the user's application.

Install from the Runway-maintained marketplace:

sh
claude plugin marketplace add runwayml/skills
claude plugin install runway-api@runway-dev

For local testing:

sh
claude plugin marketplace add /absolute/path/to/skills
claude plugin install runway-api@runway-dev

Ask Claude to help connect your Runway Dev account, or run /runway-api:runway-dev-setup. Complete browser sign-in and consent yourself.

The runway-api@claude-plugins-official listing is managed by Anthropic and may pin a different version from the Runway-maintained marketplace.
