Model Context Protocol

# Turn your editor
into a video studio

Connect AI Content Drop to Claude Code, Cursor, or Claude Desktop and generate video straight from chat. 57 video models and 27 image models behind one endpoint.

No npm install — it is a remote server, so there is no package to trust or keep updated.

1

### Create an API key

Keys look like `acd_live_…` and are shown once. Set a daily credit ceiling so a looping agent can never spend more than you intended.

2

### Add the server

One command in your terminal

bash

```
claude mcp add --transport http \
  aicontentdrop https://aicontentdrop.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer acd_live_YOUR_KEY"
```

### Ask for a video

Restart the client and describe what you want. The tools self-describe via `tools/list`, so the model picks a model, checks the cost, submits, and polls until the URL is ready.

“Make me a 9:16 video of steam rising off a flat white on a marble counter — cheapest model that still looks good.”

## Eight tools

Four work with no credential at all. Adding a key unlocks the four that generate on your account — same tools from MCP or the REST API, one key.

### No key required

list_models

Every video and image model available, with the flat credit cost of one generation. Filterable by budget.

### With an API key

generate_video

Start a generation on your account and get a job id back immediately. Pick a model or let the platform choose. Supports image-to-video.

9–180 credits

·

1–4 min

get_generation

Poll one job: status, the finished video URL, credits actually charged, and the error if it failed.

Free

·

instant

list_generations

Recent generations on your account, newest first.

Free

·

instant

get_account

Credit balance and plan. Worth checking before a batch so an agent does not run itself out mid-run.

Free

·

instant

Credits are charged only when a generation succeeds. A failed or blocked job costs nothing, so there is no refund path to reason about.

## Prefer raw HTTP?

The same key authenticates a plain REST API, so anything that can make an HTTP request can generate video. The MCP tools are a thin layer over these endpoints.

bash

```
curl -X POST https://aicontentdrop.com/v1/generate/video \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer acd_live_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "prompt": "a golden retriever surfing at sunset", "model": "kling_3_0" }'

# → { "video": { "id": "…", "status": "generating" } }
# Poll GET /v1/videos/{id} until status is "completed".
```

## Your editor is now a video studio
