Overview

Rendley’s MCP server gives your AI client a full video editor. Connect it once, then create and edit video by describing what you want, in the same chat you already work in. The client uses your own footage, your brand kit, and Rendley’s stock and AI tools, and hands back a finished file.

It is a Model Context Protocol server, hosted and remote. Any client that speaks remote MCP can connect, including Claude and Codex.

What you can do

Once connected, ask the client to:

Manage projects. List your projects, open one, or start a new one.
Bring in media. Pull from stock, generate images and video, or use your own clips from a public URL.
Edit by describing it. Trim filler, add captions, set the aspect ratio, add transitions, swap the music.
Apply your brand. Lock the cut to your brand kit, with your logo, colors, fonts, and caption styles.
Export. Render to MP4 or WebM and get a download link.
Check your account. See your plan, credits, and usage.

Example prompts

List my projects.

Turn this recording into a finished video. Trim the filler, add captions, and pull in B-roll.

Edit this interview into a 3-minute reel with captions and music.

Turn this podcast into ten vertical shorts, captioned and ready to schedule.

The client starts a project, makes the edits, and returns a link to the result. When you ask it to export, it renders the file and gives you a download URL.
