Short Video Agent Kit
Let your agent draft and optionally render short-form clips across Sora, Gemini Veo, xAI/Grok, and Seedance from one MCP toolkit with dry-run defaults.
Overview
Short Video Agent Kit is a Launch-phase MCP server that lets coding agents create short-form AI video through multiple providers with dry-run-first billing safety.
What is this MCP server?
- Provider-neutral short video MCP (npm short-video-agent-kit v0.1.7) with Sora, Gemini Veo, xAI/Grok, and Seedance
- SHORT_VIDEO_DRY_RUN defaults to safe dry-run until you explicitly allow paid provider calls
- Optional API keys: OPENAI_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY, XAI_API_KEY per provider
- stdio transport for Claude Code, Cursor, and similar agents
- Agent-oriented workflow for scripting, generation, and provider switching without custom SDK glue per vendor
- Server version 0.1.7
- 4 named provider families: Sora, Gemini Veo, xAI/Grok, Seedance
- 3 documented optional API key env vars (OpenAI, Gemini, xAI)
What problem does it solve?
Juggling separate Sora, Veo, and Grok scripts for every launch clip wastes cycles when you only need one agent-facing video pipeline.
Who is it for?
Indie founders batching launch snippets and social tests who already hold keys for at least one listed video API.
Skip if: Long-form post-production, teams without budget for generative video APIs, or workflows that require guaranteed provider SLAs from one vendor only.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After wiring API keys and dry-run policy, your agent can prototype and render short videos through named providers from a single MCP entry point.
- Agent-invokable short video generation across configured providers
- Dry-run previews before spend
- Unified MCP surface instead of per-vendor CLI scripts
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Short-form video generation supports launch distribution and social proof more than core backend implementation. Provider-neutral video MCP targets getting clips onto channels—distribution is the primary journey shelf.
How it compares
Multi-provider generative video MCP, not a CapCut skill or organic SEO playbook.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Short Video Agent Kit for?
Solo builders and micro-teams using AI agents to ship short marketing or demo clips across several generative video APIs.
When should I use Short Video Agent Kit?
Use it at launch when you need agent-driven iteration on hooks and renders for social distribution, after copy and offer are validated.
How do I add Short Video Agent Kit to my agent?
Add stdio package short-video-agent-kit to MCP config, keep SHORT_VIDEO_DRY_RUN until ready, then set provider keys (OPENAI, GEMINI, XAI) you plan to call.
