@instavar/mcp-server

Drive the full Instavar Studio video workflow — create → render → approve → publish → metrics — from Claude Code or Codex, without leaving your terminal.

The server is a thin HTTP client: it authenticates with a per-user API key and talks to the hosted Instavar API. It holds no database connection and stores no data of its own.

Setup

  1. Create an API key at https://instavar.com/studio/settings (shown once — copy it).

  2. Add the server to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "instavar": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@instavar/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "INSTAVAR_API_KEY": "ik_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

  1. Restart the client. The instavar tools appear.

Tools

Tool

What it does

list_jobs

List recent jobs (newest first).

get_job_status

Runs, artifacts, verifications, current video + thumbnail URLs.

get_video_state

Materialized composition state for a job.

get_job_metrics

Platform engagement snapshots for a published job.

get_cost_summary

Infra cost summary (Lambda / RunPod / R2 / WaveSpeed / PoYo).

create_video_brief

Create a job from a structured brief and start rendering.

edit_video_brief

Patch a brief and re-render.

approve_job

Approve a rendered job so it can be published.

publish_job

Publish an approved job to its connected social destination.

connect_account

Start connecting a social account (headless OAuth pairing).

connect_account_status

Poll a pending account connection until it is connected.

Writes require a key with the write scope; publish_job requires publish.

Connecting a social account from the terminal

connect_account returns an approve URL and a short confirm code. Open the URL in a browser where you are signed in to Instavar, check the code matches the one in your terminal, and approve — you go through the platform's normal sign-in, then return to Instavar. Poll connect_account_status with the returned pairingId until it reports connected. Pairings expire after 10 minutes and can only be approved by an owner/admin of the workspace.
