Motionvid for AI agents
Give your agent a video studio. With this skill and the Motionvid MCP server, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Hermes and other agents make motion graphics and explainer videos from a prompt: script, animated scenes, voiceover, music and sound effects, rendered to MP4, from a few seconds up to 20 minutes.

What it touches (disclosure)
- Network: the hosted Motionvid MCP server at
https://motionvid.ai/mcp. Your prompts, any files or URLs you pass, and the generated videos are processed by Motionvid (privacy policy). - Account and cost: needs a Motionvid account on a paid plan (from $19/month, pricing). Creating, editing and rendering videos spends your Motionvid credits. The skill tells the agent to show the cost before long builds.
- Credentials: OAuth sign-in in your browser, handled by your agent's MCP client. No API key or secret is stored in this repo. Headless setups can use an
mvk_API key from an environment variable. - No code runs locally: this package is markdown and JSON only (a skill and an MCP server declaration).
