What is the Syllaby MCP Server?

MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard that lets AI clients call external tools directly. The Syllaby MCP server exposes Syllaby’s video engine as tools any client can use.

Every tool in the Syllaby MCP Server

27 tools across faceless video, text-to-video, storyboards, assets and credits, callable from any MCP client. Eighteen are free to call; nine charge credits.

Conversational video creation

Ask for a faceless video and the server drafts it, writes the script, renders it and hands back the file.

Script first, render after

Generate a script in chat, refine it in place, then render that same draft without leaving the conversation.

Storyboards, scene by scene

Build a storyboard, edit a single scene, chain one scene into the next, then render the whole thing.

A link becomes a video

Point it at an article and it pulls out the script and the images, then builds the video from them.

Price it before you spend

Ask what a render will cost and check what you have left, before anything is charged.

Built for developers, agencies and content teams

Whether you are wiring Syllaby into an internal assistant, running client work at volume, or you simply want video creation where you already chat, the MCP server fits the way you already work.

Content teams

You plan content in one place and want to create without switching tools.

  • Turn an idea or a link into a video in the same thread
  • Draft, refine and render a script without leaving chat
  • Export the finished video straight from the thread

Agencies

You run video work for several clients and need it repeatable, not bespoke every time.

  • Brief in, finished video out, from one chat
  • One connector URL for every client account
  • Check cost before you commit to a render

Developers

You are building an agent, copilot or internal tool and want video generation inside it.

  • One connector URL, no API client to write
  • Predictable tool schemas across 27 tools
  • Works in Claude, Claude Code and ChatGPT

Popular workflows you can build

In MCP the trigger is the prompt. Type one of these and the server chains the tools for you. No builder, no wiring.

What it costs to run

Eighteen of the 27 tools are free to call. Nine charge credits, and that list is closed. These are the rules the server actually enforces.

Eighteen free, nine that charge

Reads, estimates, drafts, scene edits and scene chaining cost nothing. The charging list is closed: these nine tools and no others.

Short renders cost the same

Renders bill a minimum of one minute, so a 20-second and a 50-second render on the same engine cost the same.

No tool sells you credits

Nothing on this server tops up a balance or upgrades a plan. If you are short, the agent says so and points you at your account.

Trials can connect, but not call

A trial account authenticates fine, then every tool call is rejected until the subscription becomes paid.

Other ways in

The hosted server is one route. Two more are documented, both installed from npm and both authenticating with the same bearer API keys.

Or skip the chat entirely

The whole API as curated terminal commands, plus a raw escape hatch for every endpoint. Same bearer keys, same rate limits.

Run it on your own machine

The same tools as a local MCP process instead of the hosted server. Installable from npm, the MCP Registry, Smithery, or as a desktop extension.

Three ways to create with Syllaby

Use the app by hand, drive it from the AI client you already talk to, or build straight against the API. Same engine underneath, three different ways in.
