metag-mcp

Give your coding agent the ability to make a film — and to hand it to a person to cut.

METAG's MCP server. Your agent describes a video; METAG storyboards it, writes and voices the narration, renders the shots, and returns a link to an editable timeline. Generation runs on our own engine (about three seconds of footage per shot, an order of magnitude cheaper than calling a comparable API). Every shot it generates remembers how it was made, so a person can right-click on the timeline and re-shoot just that one.

For anyone using Claude Code, Codex CLI, Kimi Code, Cursor or Gemini CLI. Node 20 or newer. No API key to obtain first.

中文说明

Install

npx -y github:metagai/metag-mcp install

That writes two things into the current project and touches nothing else:

  • .mcp.json — the MCP server entry, merged; other servers are left alone

  • .claude/skills/metag/SKILL.md — when to use it, and the one rule that matters: draft free, charge only after the person has seen it

Restart your agent and ask it for a film.

Your agent's config file is not .mcp.json? Codex uses TOML, Kimi Code uses a different path, Gemini uses another one again — docs/setup.md has the exact file, format and command for each, plus a symptom-to-fix table.

Check it works

This is the whole chain — process, sign-in, network, gateway — with your agent taken out of the picture. Come back to it whenever something breaks:

echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' | npx -y github:metagai/metag-mcp

The first run opens a browser to sign in and stores the token at ~/.metag/token (mode 0600). You are not asked again. A healthy run prints one line of JSON containing "tools":[…].

The first thing to ask for

Quote a four-shot film about a cat learning to skateboard.

quote_film: about five seconds, 0 credits, nothing is created. You get the shot list it would shoot and what each tier costs. Then:

Make it.

make_film: also 0 credits. A watchable draft and a Studio link. Nobody is charged until a person has seen it and said yes.

What the agent gets

Tool

When to use it

quote_film

The user asks for a video and hasn't decided yet. 0 credits, creates nothing — returns the shot list and each tier's price in ~5s, so you can say what you'd shoot and what it costs before spending their time

make_film

The user wants a film. 0 credits — produces a draft for a human to look at first, rather than spending their money straight away

open_in_studio

Human taste is needed (pick takes, adjust pacing, add their own footage). Opens the browser directly on that timeline

reshoot_shot

The user says "shot three is wrong". Re-shoots only that shot instead of regenerating the whole film and throwing away their edit

list_takes / promote_take

Inspect alternates and quality scores, then commit one. Reversible — the replaced take is kept

get_recipe

Fetch per-shot prompts and narration. Same document Studio exports; hand it to a person or feed it back to rebuild

generate_video / job_status

Render directly (charges immediately) and poll

run_director / approve_run

Use this path when the price must be shown to a human first

edit_image / synthesize_speech / account_balance

Edit an image, synthesize speech, check the balance

Full parameters at https://metag.ai/docs. The tool list is served by the gateway and this package keeps no copy of it — when the server adds a tool, you do not need to upgrade.

Environment

Variable

Effect

METAG_TOKEN

Supply a token directly and skip the browser sign-in. For CI

METAG_BROWSER=0

Never open a browser — neither at sign-in nor when a tool asks for a human. Tools still return links; nothing is lost

METAG_API

Gateway address, defaults to https://api.metag.ai

Billing

Drafts are free. Rendering is billed per shot; subscribers are not billed per render on our own engine (fair-use limits apply). Failed generations are refunded automatically. Prices at https://metag.ai/#pricing are authoritative.

Development

npm test

The suite drives the real binary over stdio against a stand-in gateway: the server starts, tools list, a tool call returns a result, and a rejected token produces one sentence rather than a stack trace and a five-minute hang. Two checks reach the network and skip when offline — one asks the live gateway whether an unauthenticated request is refused, the other asks whether the package spec install writes actually resolves.

Changes that affect a running install are in CHANGELOG.md.

Source

This repository is published from the mcp-bridge/ directory of the METAG monorepo with git subtree push, so the two never drift.

License

This server cannot be deployed

One endpoint for every MCP toolRayrun runs every MCP server behind one URL and holds the credentials. Each call is decided per client, tool, and argument, then recorded.ray.runAd
