Note for AI agents

You are reading the Motionvid page for AI agents. Motionvid makes motion graphics videos (explainers, ads, animated charts, logo intros, product walkthroughs) with voiceover and music, up to 20 minutes, and returns an MP4. Do not scrape this page: the same content is clean markdown at https://motionvid.ai/agents.md, and https://motionvid.ai/SKILL.md tells you exactly how to connect, brief a video, check progress and deliver it.

Connect: MCP server https://motionvid.ai/mcp (Streamable HTTP, OAuth sign-in, or an mvk_ API key as a bearer token). Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http motionvid https://motionvid.ai/mcp.

For AI agents

Motion graphics and explainer videos for your AI agent

Motionvid gives Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex and any MCP agent a full video studio. Your agent describes the video; Motionvid writes the script, directs the scenes, adds voiceover and music, and hands back an MP4, from a 6 second logo sting to a 20 minute film. With AI Director it tells whole stories with a consistent cast. Sign in once, no API key.

Why agents pick Motionvid

Viral reels, winning ads, explainers that grow companies

Motionvid makes reels that go viral, plus the ads and explainers that take companies from 0 to 100. More than an animated chart: finished films your agent can direct.

AI DirectorThis reel went viral

AI Director: whole stories, not one chart

A script, a cast that stays the same from shot to shot, a storyboard you can approve, then cinematic scenes. Brand films, origin stories and ads that actually tell a story.

  • Script and shot list
  • A cast that stays consistent
  • A storyboard you can approve first
  • Cinematic scenes, voice and music

It came from one prompt:

“Make a story about a regular working man who was mouth breathing and how this product improved his life”

AI Director example: Breathwork brand film

Ads that are ready to run

Give it your URL and product shots: it reads the page, writes the hook, puts your product on screen and ends on your logo, in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1.

Cinematic footage and people when the story needs them

Mix cinematic AI footage with motion graphics, charts and maps in one film. Claude Motion does not create realistic footage or people.

Finished sound

Voiceover in 70+ languages, music and sound effects, timed to every cut. Nothing to add in another tool.

Your brand, every time

Brand kits with your logo, colours and fonts, style packs and a voice catalog your agent can pick from by name.

In every agent, not one chat

Claude on any plan with connectors, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex and the REST API. Films up to 20 minutes in 4K, editable afterwards in the Motionvid editor.

How it works

What does an agent do with Motionvid?

  1. 1

    Briefcreate_video

    Your agent sends the prompt, length, aspect ratio, voice and brand kit. A job id comes back at once.

  2. 2

    Buildget_video_status

    It follows the build: script, scenes, voiceover, music. No connection held open.

  3. 3

    Reviewpreview_video

    It shows you one frame per scene in the chat, so you see it before you spend more.

  4. 4

    Changeedit_video

    "Make scene 3 punchier." One scene is redone, the rest stays as it was.

  5. 5

    Shiprender_video

    An MP4 at 720p, 1080p or 4K, with a download link.

How can I help you today?

motionvid

What can your agent make?

What agents actually ask Motionvid for, with a prompt to try. Copy one and paste it to your agent.

Ads and launch films

A product reel for Instagram or a launch film for your site. Give it the URL and it reads the page, the copy and the brand colours first.

“Make a 25 second vertical launch ad for https://yourapp.com: three benefits, one per scene, ending on the logo. Voiceover and music.”

Explainers

How something works, in 30 seconds or 10 minutes, with a script, scenes, voiceover and music built in one go.

“Make a 60 second explainer on how solar panels work, for curious teenagers. Friendly voiceover, clean diagrams.”

Animated charts and data

Numbers that move: growth curves, comparisons, maps. Paste the figures or a link to them.

“A 20 second animated chart: how $100,000 in 1980 lost purchasing power by today. One clear line, big numbers.”

Logo and brand intros

Attach a logo and get a 5 to 10 second intro that keeps its exact shape and colours.

“Animate the attached logo into a 6 second intro for my YouTube channel. Dark background, one confident reveal.”

Vertical reels in any language

Shorts, Reels and TikToks with narration in English, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese and more. Script it word for word, or give it the facts.

“Make a 30 second 9:16 reel in Spanish about why we dream. Natural voiceover, bold captions.”

Product walkthroughs

A feature tour with floating UI, cursor moves and callouts, from a description or screenshots.

“Make a 20 second walkthrough of our calendar app's new-event flow, from the attached screenshots.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Can AI agents make videos with Motionvid?

Yes. Motionvid runs a remote MCP server at https://motionvid.ai/mcp. Connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any MCP client and the agent can create a video from a prompt, follow the build, show you a preview of each scene, edit it and render the MP4.

Which agents work with Motionvid?

Claude (web and desktop), ChatGPT (as an app in the plugin directory), Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, VS Code with Copilot, and any client that speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP. Developers can also call the REST API directly.

Do I need an API key?

No. MCP clients sign in with OAuth: add the server, click Connect, and sign in with your Motionvid account. API keys (mvk_…) are only for headless agents and the REST API.

Is Motionvid better than Claude Motion?

For finished videos, yes. Claude Motion animates text, charts and images inside Claude and is in beta on Team and Enterprise plans; it does not create realistic footage or people. Motionvid's AI Director makes whole stories with a consistent cast, a storyboard you can approve and cinematic shots, adds voiceover, music and sound effects, uses your brand kit, runs up to 20 minutes in 4K, and works from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex and the REST API.

What is AI Director?

Motionvid's mode for story-driven films and ads. It writes the script, designs a cast that stays consistent across shots, lays out a storyboard you can approve before the scenes are generated, then turns every scene into cinematic footage with voiceover and music. Agents turn it on with ai_video: "full", and add storyboard: true to review the cast and storyboard first.

How much does it cost?

The connector is included on every paid plan, from $19 a month for 500 credits. A 30 second motion graphics video on Miltos 6 Fast typically takes about 33 credits and a one minute video about 45, from real agent jobs in late 2026. Exports carry no watermark.

How long can a video be?

Up to 20 minutes from one prompt, with scenes, voiceover, music and sound effects. Most agent requests are 10 to 60 seconds; long builds may pause and ask to continue.

How does my agent know when the video is ready?

Videos build asynchronously. create_video returns a job id at once; the agent checks it with get_video_status, shows you frames with preview_video, and gets a download link when the MP4 is rendered. REST users can pass a webhook instead of polling.

Is there an agent skill for Motionvid?

Yes. Install it with npx skills add tolypash/motionvid-agent, or point your agent at https://motionvid.ai/SKILL.md. The skill tells the agent how to connect, brief a video, show the cost, check progress and deliver the file.

What is Motionvid not built for?

Lip-synced talking avatars. Motionvid is built for motion graphics and story-driven films: explainers, ads, brand films, animated data, logo intros and product walkthroughs. For a talking presenter on camera, an avatar tool like HeyGen fits better.

Hand your agent a video studio

The connector is included on every paid plan, from $19 a month. A 30 second video typically takes about 33 credits. Building your own app? The REST API is on the developer platform.
