MCP & APIs

Make Wevi videos from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Connect Wevi to your AI assistant once, then ask for videos in plain English. Nothing to install for Claude or ChatGPT; a one-minute setup for Cursor and other tools.

01What this is, in plain words

MCP is the plug that lets an AI assistant use a product's tools. Once Wevi is plugged in, your assistant can pick templates, capture pages from your product, write the script, render the video and hand you the link — while you approve each step in the chat.

  • No coding. You set it up by pasting one address (or one key) and then talk to the assistant as usual.
  • Your account, your videos. Everything the assistant makes lands in your Wevi account, where you can edit it in the studio.
  • Credits, not surprises. The assistant spends the same credits the app does, and tells you before a big batch.

02Before you start

  • A Wevi account — create one free. Free accounts include 10 credits, enough for a first short video.
  • Your product's website address. Wevi reads the logo, colours and fonts from it, and the assistant captures real pages from it.
  • For Claude and ChatGPT: nothing else. For Cursor, Claude Desktop or Claude Code: an API key from Profile → API Keys & MCP.

Keys are secrets

Treat an API key like a password: paste it only into the tool's own settings, never into a chat message. You can revoke a key any time from the same page.

03Claude (web or desktop app)

The easiest path. No install, no key — you sign in to Wevi once.

  1. Open Settings → Connectors

    In Claude, click your name or the gear icon, then Connectors.

  2. Add custom connector

    Name it Wevi and paste the address below. Click Add.

    Connector address
    https://mcp.wevi.ai/mcp
  3. Connect and allow

    Click Connect on the new Wevi card. A Wevi sign-in opens; sign in and click Allow. That's the whole setup.

  4. Turn it on in a chat

    Start a new chat, open the tools (+) menu and make sure Wevi is enabled. Then ask for a video.

Claude Desktop can also run Wevi from a config file with an API key (see the Cursor section for the same snippet). The connector above is simpler and keeps you signed in.

04ChatGPT

Works on chatgpt.com with Developer mode (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education plans).

  1. Turn on Developer mode

    Settings → Security and login → switch Developer mode on.

  2. Add Wevi

    Open the Plugins page, click the plus button and paste the Wevi address. Choose OAuth for authentication.

    Connector address
    https://mcp.wevi.ai/mcp
  3. Sign in and allow

    ChatGPT sends you to Wevi to sign in; click Allow to finish.

  4. Use it in a chat

    In a new chat, open the + menu, pick Developer mode and enable Wevi. ChatGPT asks you to confirm actions that create or render things — that's expected.

05Cursor, Windsurf and other MCP tools

For tools that read a config file. One key, one snippet.

  1. Create an API key

    Go to Profile → API Keys & MCP in the Wevi app, click Create API Key and copy it. It is shown once.

  2. Add Wevi to the tool's MCP config

    In Cursor: Settings → MCP → Add new server, or edit the file directly. Replace the key with yours.

    .cursor/mcp.json (Cursor) · mcp_config.json (Windsurf)
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "wevi": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": ["-y", "@wevi/mcp@latest"],
          "env": { "WEVI_API_KEY": "wevi_live_YOUR_KEY" }
        }
      }
    }
  3. Restart the tool

    Wevi appears in the tool list with 25 tools. Ask for a video in the chat panel.

Claude Desktop and Claude Code

Claude Desktop uses the same snippet in claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit config). Claude Code takes one line in a terminal:

Terminal
claude mcp add wevi -e WEVI_API_KEY="wevi_live_YOUR_KEY" -- npx -y @wevi/mcp@latest

06Your first video

Ask like you would ask a colleague. The assistant fills in the rest.

“Make a 30-second launch video for acme.com. Ask me anything you need first.”

“Create a feature explainer for our new reporting dashboard — capture the dashboard from app.acme.com and keep it under 40 seconds.”

“Turn our pricing page into a short promo with a call to action at the end.”

  1. It plans

    The assistant checks what Wevi can do, drafts a storyboard (scenes, templates, narration) and shows it to you.

  2. It captures

    For scenes that show your real product, it opens the page in a private browser and lifts the parts it needs. If a page needs a login, it sends you a link to sign in — it never asks for your password.

  3. It renders

    Scenes render in the cloud and are joined with music and a voiceover. You get a link when the video is ready, and the project appears in your Wevi account for edits.

A typical 30-second video takes a few minutes end to end. The assistant tells you how many credits a plan will use before it starts.

07What it costs

  • Free accounts include 10 credits; Pro plans include a monthly allowance; packs can be bought any time from the app.
  • A scene render is 1 credit. Exports are 1, 2 or 4 credits for 720p, 1080p or 4K. A storyboard draft or a page capture is 1 credit.
  • Live browser sessions for captures are free for the first 5 minutes, then 1 credit per 5 minutes.
  • Connectors and API keys spend the same credits as the app — there is no separate bill.

Current balance, costs and packs are always visible in Profile → API Keys & MCP, and the assistant can check them for you with one question.

08For developers: the API

Everything the assistant can do, your code can do too.

The same key works with the REST API: list templates, create a project with scenes, capture pages, publish and poll (or get a signed callback), then download the MP4. The MCP server is open source on npm as @wevi/mcp, and the remote server at mcp.wevi.ai speaks standard MCP over HTTPS with OAuth 2.1.

Terminal
curl "https://api-v2.wevi.ai/api/v2/templates?limit=10" \
  -H "X-API-Key: wevi_live_YOUR_KEY"

Read the full API reference, the tool reference and the connector guide. Test keys (wevi_test_…) render free with a watermark so you can build without spending credits.

09Good to know

  • Never share passwords with an assistant. When a page needs a login, the assistant gives you a private link to sign in yourself.
  • Approve what matters. Claude and ChatGPT ask before actions that create, change or render; read-only steps (listing templates, checking credits) run quietly.
  • Disconnect any time. Remove the connector in the assistant's settings or revoke the key in Wevi; access stops immediately.
  • Stuck? Email team@wevi.ai with the assistant you use and what you asked — we reply fast.
