Tellers.AI - Prompt Based Video Editing

Tellers MCP Server

An MCP server that brings Tellers AI video creation into any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.).

Describe the video you want in plain language. The server handles everything else — generation, editing, exporting, and sharing.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• A Tellers account with an API key (app.tellers.ai → user menu → API keys → Create new)

Setup

npm install
npm run build

Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tellers": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-server/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "TELLERS_API_KEY": "sk_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

The config file is located at:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
