Envie

AI video, verified. Describe a video to your AI and get a real file back. Envie gives Claude Code and any MCP client a deterministic render engine: headless Chrome filmed frame by frame, six verification gates, and a full read-back layer. Free. No watermark. No account.

npx @golproductions/envie setup

That's it. It detects Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf and registers with every one it finds. Then ask your AI: make me a 15-second vertical launch video for my app

Add this to any MCP client's config:

{ "mcpServers": { "envie": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@golproductions/envie", "mcp"] } } }

Or for Claude Code specifically:

claude mcp add envie -- npx -y @golproductions/envie mcp

What happens

  1. Write. Your AI reads envie_guide and writes a composition: one self-contained HTML file with CSS animations, WebGL, Canvas, GIFs -- whatever it needs.

  2. Render. envie_render films it deterministically. Headless Chrome, every frame seeked with a virtualized clock. Same composition, same video, every time.

  3. Verify. Six gates inspect the result: container, both streams, audible audio, no black segments, no freezes, no dead ending. A failing video is never delivered -- your AI gets the report and fixes it.

  4. See. envie_see returns frames at chosen timestamps so your AI can judge layout and pacing, not just whether the file exists.

  5. Translate. envie_translate reads the file back as data: per-frame motion, every cut and fade, still holds, LUFS, true peak, and how each audio hit sits against the nearest picture event.

Requirements

  • Node 24 -- or later

  • Google Chrome -- or set ENVIE_CHROME to your binary

  • ffmpeg + ffprobe -- on PATH

  • Audio -- a video with no audio fails G2 and G3

    • --narration "text" -- local TTS voiceover, Windows only (SAPI)

    • --audio file.wav -- lays over any wav/mp3/m4a, all platforms

Runs entirely on your machine. It never contacts GOL servers.

Intent assertions

Compositions can declare what they intend to achieve. Envie checks them post-render and fails verified if they are missed.
