Narva

Narva MCP server

Narva makes faceless YouTube videos: give it a topic, a finished script or a recorded voiceover and it delivers a ready-to-upload video or Short, with the script, natural AI narration in 32 languages, AI visuals in 12 styles with camera moves, real archive footage, animated maps and charts, word-synced captions, music and thumbnails. Then it publishes to your YouTube channel, now or scheduled.

This repository holds the public manifests for Narva's hosted MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client can make and publish videos for you mid-conversation.

• Server URL: https://narva.app/mcp (Streamable HTTP)
• Auth: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, or a personal access token for headless agents
• Requires: a Narva account with a plan (from $29/month). Videos cost credits (about 16 per finished minute of long video); the cost is shown before rendering.

Try: "Make a 10-minute documentary about the Great Emu War in a dark documentary style and publish it to my channel tomorrow at 6pm."

Install

Claude

Claude.ai (web or desktop): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the server URL and approve the consent screen.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http narva https://narva.app/mcp

Or install this repository as a plugin, which adds the server together with a skill that teaches Claude the Narva workflow:

claude plugin marketplace add Negmus/narva-mcp
claude plugin install narva@narva-mcp

ChatGPT

Settings → Security and login → turn on Developer mode, then Plugins → + → paste the server URL. The OAuth prompt signs you in to Narva.

Cursor

Add to Cursor, or in ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "narva": { "url": "https://narva.app/mcp" } } }

VS Code

code --add-mcp '{"name":"narva","type":"http","url":"https://narva.app/mcp"}'

Codex

Install this repository as a plugin, which adds the server together with the same skill:

codex plugin marketplace add Negmus/narva-mcp
codex plugin add narva@narva
codex mcp login narva

Or only the server, in ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.narva]
url = "https://narva.app/mcp"

then codex mcp login narva to approve the consent screen.

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/Negmus/narva-mcp

Sign in with /mcp auth narva.

Google Antigravity

In mcp_config.json (Agent panel → MCP Servers → Manage → View raw config):

{ "mcpServers": { "narva": { "serverUrl": "https://narva.app/mcp" } } }

Or install this repository as a plugin: agy plugin install https://github.com/Negmus/narva-mcp

Windsurf

In ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "narva": { "serverUrl": "https://narva.app/mcp" } } }

Kiro

Add to Kiro, or in .kiro/settings/mcp.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "narva": { "url": "https://narva.app/mcp" } } }

Cline, Kilo Code and Roo Code

MCP Servers → Remote Servers → name narva, URL https://narva.app/mcp, transport Streamable HTTP.

Goose

goose configure → Add Extension → Remote Extension (Streamable HTTP) → https://narva.app/mcp.

LM Studio

Add to LM Studio

n8n, Make, containers and other headless clients

The OAuth callback cannot reach a client that runs on a server, so create a personal access token under Settings → API & MCP on narva.app and send it as a header:

mcp_servers:
  narva:
    url: https://narva.app/mcp
    headers:
      Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN

The same token works with the REST API (https://narva.app/api/v1).

Tools

Everything is scoped to the signed-in user's own account and videos.

Tool	Kind	What it does
get_account	read	Credits, plan, price per minute and connected YouTube channels
list_options	read	Formats, niches, tones, languages, visual and caption styles, music moods, voices
list_videos / get_video	read	Your videos with status, progress, cost, script, scenes, download and editor links
list_youtube_channels	read	Channels connected for publishing
create_video	write	Start a video from a topic or a script; on autopilot it renders by itself
update_script	write	Replace the script of a video that has not been rendered yet
plan_video	write	Cut the script into scenes and direct them; shows the exact credit cost
render_video	write	Render a planned video (charges the shown credits; failures are refunded)
edit_scene	write	Change one scene's line, image or motion graphic
edit_video	write	Describe a change in words; Narva proposes the edits, then applies them
create_short_from_video	write	Turn a finished long video into a 9:16 Short
publish_to_youtube	write	Upload to your channel now or scheduled, with title, description, tags and thumbnail
delete_video	write	Delete a video and its files (not copies already on YouTube)

Every tool carries readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, openWorldHint and idempotentHint annotations. Rendering spends credits and publishing posts public content, so the server tells the assistant to confirm both with you first.

What is in this repository

• server.json: the entry in the official MCP Registry as app.narva/mcp
• .claude-plugin/ + .mcp.json + skills/narva/SKILL.md: a Claude Code plugin bundling the server with a skill
• plugin.json + mcp.json: the same as an Agent Plugin for Codex (OpenAI settings under extensions.com.openai), Cursor and compatible clients; .agents/plugins/marketplace.json makes the repository a Codex marketplace
• gemini-extension.json: a Gemini CLI extension
• .antigravity-plugin/plugin.json + mcp_config.json: an Antigravity plugin; plugins/narva/ holds the same without the skill
• SETUP.md: the connection walkthrough a client can follow after install

The server itself is part of the Narva web application and is not open source. The manifests and skill here are MIT licensed.

The server only reads and writes the signed-in user's own Narva data, and publishes to YouTube only the channels the user connected. Privacy policy: https://narva.app/privacy. Terms: https://narva.app/terms. Support: support@narva.app.
