Rubiic MCP
Make videos with Rubiic from Claude and any other MCP
client. Describe a video in plain language, answer the agent's review
questions, then render it to MP4. From any scene you can also export a GIF,
still images, a carousel or captions.

One MCP server does everything:
https://rubiic.com/api/mcp
This repository holds no server code. Rubiic runs the server, and this repo is
how you connect to it:
- a Claude Code plugin with the server and the
rubiic skill
- copy-paste configs for other clients
- the tool reference
- a small scripted example
You need a Rubiic account. Everything you do over MCP is billed to it, the same
as in the app. See what costs credits.
Claude (Desktop, claude.ai, mobile)
- Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
- Name it
Rubiic and paste https://rubiic.com/api/mcp, then click
Add and Connect.
- rubiic.com opens. Sign in if you need to, check that the page names
claude.ai as where it will send you back, and click Allow access.
That's it. There's no token to copy. To disconnect, remove the connector in
Claude or click Disconnect under Connected apps on
rubiic.com/account. Disconnecting takes effect
within the hour.
Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add rubiic-hq/rubiic-mcp
/plugin install rubiic@rubiic
Claude Code asks for a personal access token once and keeps it in your
system's secure credential store. Create one under Account → API tokens on
rubiic.com. It starts with rbc_ and is
shown once, so copy it right away. The plugin adds the server and the
rubiic skill, which teaches the agent how to poll, when a call spends
credits, and how to handle downloads.
If you'd rather not use the plugin, see clients/claude-code.md.
Other clients
These use a personal access token as a bearer. The server also supports MCP
sign-in (OAuth), so a client that implements it can leave the header out and
sign in through rubiic.com instead. That path has been verified with Claude's
connectors; other clients vary.
To teach any other agent how to use Rubiic, point it at the skill:
https://rubiic.com/skills/rubiic/SKILL.md.
Make a video
Ask Claude something like:
Make a 30-second vertical video explaining how a heat pump works, then render
it and give me the MP4.
It starts the video with agent_start and answers the review questions (it may
pass them to you). It then looks up the new project with get_project, renders
it, and hands you the download. You can attach PDFs for Rubiic to work from.
Full reference: docs/tools.md.
After connecting, ask it to run connection_status. That's a free check that
the connection works end to end.
Known limits
- Every
agent_start is a new project. You can't continue or revise an
existing video over MCP yet. To revise one, use the app.
- Access is account-wide. A connected app or a token can do everything your
account can over MCP, including spending credits. There are no read-only or
spend-limited grants yet.
Upgrading from 0.1
0.1 used two servers: rubiic-agent for the agent_* tools and rubiic for
the rest. Everything is on rubiic now. /plugin update rubiic@rubiic picks it
up; if you added the servers by hand, remove rubiic-agent. Its URL keeps
working for anything still pointed at it.
