The Cut AI MCP is the Cut AI MCP on cutai.ai. It lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and Claude Code create images, videos, voiceovers, music and Cut AI Studio films in your Cut AI account. The Cut AI MCP URL is https://cutai.ai/api/mcp. There is no API key: you sign in with your Cut AI account (OAuth), and credits are used only after you approve the cost. It uses the Model Context Protocol, an open standard for connecting AI applications to external systems.

How it works
How the Cut AI MCP Server Works
Review the creation brief and pricing, then let your assistant track the result.
Add the Connector
Paste https://cutai.ai/api/mcp into your assistant and sign in when it asks. In ChatGPT, cutai_get_capabilities works even before you sign in.
Sign in with Cut AI
Connect your Cut AI account with OAuth and approve read and create access. There is no API key to copy or leak.
Review the Quote
The assistant prepares a 10-minute quote before work starts. Media quotes show the credit cost; Studio quotes explain ongoing planning and separate media costs, rather than a whole-project cap.
Approve and Get Your Media
After you confirm, the job starts from that quote and the assistant tracks it until the media is ready. Everything is also saved in My Creations.

FAQ
Cut AI MCP FAQ
The Cut AI MCP, also called the Cut AI MCP, is the Model Context Protocol server from Cut AI at cutai.ai. Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code use it to create images, videos, voiceovers, music and Cut AI Studio films in your Cut AI account. The Cut AI MCP URL is https://cutai.ai/api/mcp.
There are currently two websites offering an "Cut AI MCP": cutai.ai and cutai.ai. They are independent sites and credits are not interchangeable. If you bought credits on cutai.ai, follow this page to connect the MCP (https://cutai.ai/api/mcp) to Claude or ChatGPT. If you bought credits on cutai.ai, please refer to their website's own connection docs.
The Cut AI MCP URL is https://cutai.ai/api/mcp. That address is the Cut AI MCP. Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Code, then sign in with your Cut AI account. There is no API key.
In ChatGPT on the web, open ChatGPT Plugins, select the plus button, then Add custom MCP server. Name it Cut AI, enter https://cutai.ai/api/mcp, choose OAuth, and select Create as a plugin. Install Cut AI, type @ in a chat, select it, and sign in with your Cut AI account. OpenAI documents this flow in its custom MCP server guide.
In Claude on the web or Claude Desktop, open Customize, then Connectors, and choose Add custom connector. Name it Cut AI, paste https://cutai.ai/api/mcp, select Continue, then select Add. Choose Connect, sign in with your Cut AI account if you are asked, and choose Allow connection. In a chat, open +, then Connectors, turn Cut AI on, ask for media, and choose Allow once. Claude shows the result in the chat. In Claude Code, run claude mcp add --transport http cutai https://cutai.ai/api/mcp and authenticate from /mcp.
No. Cut AI uses OAuth: you sign in with your Cut AI account and approve access. There is no API key, token or header to paste, and you can revoke the connection anytime in Settings → Connected apps.
Connecting is free and there is no separate MCP fee. In ChatGPT, checking capabilities doesn't even need an account. Generations use the same credits as the Cut AI website: the Free plan includes 10 one-time credits, and paid plans and credit packs are on the pricing page. The MCP server itself never sells credits or subscriptions.
Media quotes show the credit cost and are valid for 10 minutes. After approval, the job uses existing credits; retrying the same quote does not buy another copy. Confirmed failed operations return the affected credits, while completed work remains chargeable. Studio planning and follow-up work also use credits, separately from generated media. A Studio quote is not a whole-project spending cap.
The assistant should show the brief and pricing and obtain your approval before starting from a quote. For Studio, also review the workspace’s media cost-confirmation setting, which controls later media approvals. Only credits already in your account can be used; the MCP tools do not buy plans or credit packs.
Access tokens are short-lived and tied to your account and the Cut AI MCP server. The assistant can only see the assets, projects and credit balance of the account you connect, and uploaded files are treated as reference material, not instructions. Revoking access in Settings → Connected apps stops new requests; your projects and media stay in your account.
Any MCP client that supports remote Streamable HTTP with OAuth sign-in, including ChatGPT, Claude on the web and desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. Clients that support MCP Apps, such as ChatGPT, also show an interactive Cut AI card with the quote, a confirm button and media previews.
Ask your assistant to call cutai_get_capabilities. It returns current image and video model IDs, supported ratios, durations, resolutions and reference limits, plus voiceover, music and Studio availability. Choose from those returned options rather than assuming every website model or setting is exposed through MCP.
Yes. The assistant can find your owned assets or import a ChatGPT file you choose to send to Cut AI, then use its asset ID as a reference. For Studio, it can retrieve the saved project, answer a pending Director question and prepare a new revision with the same project ID. If a request is pending or the connection drops, check the original task or project before submitting another creation.
