What is MCP, without the jargon

MCP is a universal adapter for AI. Plug MagicShot in once, and your assistant gains a new skill: making images, video and voiceovers for you.

  • No code, just a one-time paste.
  • Uses your existing MagicShot credits.
  • Ask in your own words. It handles the rest.

Make me a 5 second video of a paper plane flying over a desk

Using MagicShot · text_to_video

On it. Generating a 5s clip now and I will drop the download link here when it is ready.

Rendering · 12 credits

Connected in three steps

Around two minutes, start to finish. You only do steps 1 and 2 once.

1

Get your API key

Create one in your dashboard under API Keys.

msk_live_••••••3f9a API key
2

Paste one config

Copy the snippet for your app, drop in your key.

"url": "…/mcp"
"Authorization": "Bearer …"
3

Just ask

Type what you want. It hands back the result.

Make a sunset video

Add MagicShot to your editor

Pick your app, copy the config, and replace msk_YOUR_KEY with a key from your dashboard. Every app needs the same two things: the endpoint and your key.

Claude Code

terminal

claude mcp add --transport http magicshot https://mcp.magicshot.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer msk_YOUR_KEY"

Run one command in your terminal. That is the whole setup.

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "magicshot": {
      "url": "https://mcp.magicshot.ai/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer msk_YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Add to your global mcp.json, or a per-project .cursor/mcp.json.

Windsurf

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "magicshot": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.magicshot.ai/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer msk_YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Same idea as Cursor, but the key is called serverUrl.

VS Code

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "magicshot": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.magicshot.ai/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer msk_YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Note the servers key and "type": "http".

Codex

~/.codex/config.toml

[mcp_servers.magicshot]
url = "https://mcp.magicshot.ai/mcp"
http_headers = { "Authorization" = "Bearer msk_YOUR_KEY" }

Streamable HTTP. On older Codex versions, add experimental_use_rmcp_client = true at the top of the file.

Claude Desktop

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "magicshot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://mcp.magicshot.ai/mcp",
               "--header", "Authorization: Bearer msk_YOUR_KEY"]
    }
  }
}

Bridged with mcp-remote so your Bearer key is passed through.

Any other client

the essentials

# transport  Streamable HTTP (POST + SSE)
# url        https://mcp.magicshot.ai/mcp
# auth       Authorization: Bearer msk_YOUR_KEY
# tools      suggest, list_models, text_to_image,
#            text_to_video, image_to_video, text_to_speech,
#            get_job_status, get_credits

Anything that speaks MCP and lets you set a URL and an Authorization header.

Featured

Open AI · Image

Featured

alibaba · Image

Qwen Image 3 is Alibaba's third-generation image model, built to turn a single detailed prompt into dense, information-heavy visuals like newspaper pages, infographics, and exam papers.

Gemini Omni 1.1

Featured

Google · Video

Gemini Omni 1.1 is Google's fast multimodal video model, built to turn a text prompt or a single photo into a moving clip with sound already baked in. Inside MagicShot, it runs as the speed option for text-to-video and image-to-video, so you get a usable draft in seconds instead of minutes.

MCP questions, answered

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets an AI assistant use outside tools. Connecting the MagicShot server simply gives your assistant new abilities: making images, video and voiceovers, checking a job, and reading your credit balance. You keep chatting like normal; it just can do more.

Any MCP client that supports remote servers with a custom header works today, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf and VS Code, plus Claude Desktop through the mcp-remote bridge.

Yes. Create one in your MagicShot dashboard under API Keys and paste it into the config as a Bearer token. Keep it secret, since anyone holding the key can spend your credits. You can revoke and rotate keys anytime.

Generations made over MCP spend the same credit pool as the MagicShot app, on the plan you already have. There is no separate charge for using the server.

Not yet. Web connectors authenticate with OAuth, while the MagicShot server currently uses Bearer keys. OAuth support is planned, so editor and desktop clients are the way in for now. Claude Code is the fastest to try.

You do not have to choose. Ask your assistant to call the suggest tool with your goal and it recommends a model, or call list_models to browse everything available.

Grab a free API key, paste one config, and MagicShot becomes a tool your assistant can use.
