Videoslash MCP: What It Is and How It Compares

Videoslash MCP is a real, official server. It connects Videoslash, a faceless video app, to Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. What it hands back is a clip, an image, or a script, one tool call at a time. It does not hand back a narrated, captioned video, and it does not post anything. This review covers the setup, the tools, the price, and the full-pipeline option for when you want the video on your channel.

Key takeaways

Full pipeline option	AITuber MCP: script, voice, visuals, captions, MP4, and direct publishing from the chat

What Videoslash is

Videoslash is a faceless video app. You type an idea or paste a script. The app writes the script, records a voice, builds the visuals, adds captions, and edits the clip. It then posts to TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube in one click. The homepage claims 1.3 million creators and 3.1 million clips made. Those are the company’s figures, not ours.

The video types are the usual faceless set. Reddit story videos. Fake text conversation videos. AI image videos. There is also a newer Creative Studio with image and video models, and a Video Editor. Those two newer parts are what the MCP server exposes.

If you searched for “videomax mcp”, you probably meant this product, or one of the two Viewmax servers. Our Viewmax MCP review covers those.

What the Videoslash MCP server does

The server lives at https://www.videoslash.com/api/mcp. Videoslash says to use the www host, because the bare domain can redirect in a way MCP clients reject. It works in Claude on the web and Claude Desktop through Connectors, and in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode with an API key.

The docs describe the server as your account, your scripts, and the Creative Studio, plus the Video Editor. The tools fall into four groups.

• Account: check your credit balance and list the model catalogue.
• Scripts: generate a title or a script. This is a text tool. It returns words, not a video.
• Creative Studio: create_creative_generation starts an image or video job on a model you name. get_creative_generation polls it. When it finishes, you get a URL on the Videoslash CDN. list_creative_models shows what you can pick, with filters such as fast models.
• Video Editor: generate_image, generate_video, add_captions, add_clips, split_clip, and export_project act on a project in the editor. Each returns a job id you poll.

The demo clips on the MCP page run 6 to 20 seconds. An 8 second product ad. A 6 second animated still. A 15 second UGC style ad. That is the unit of work: one short clip per call.

Two things the docs do well. Jobs are async, so a long render does not time out. And in Claude, each generation mounts a small preview card next to the tool call, with a recreate button. That preview is an MCP Apps widget, and it is a nice touch. Coding agents get a JSON URL instead.

How to set up Videoslash MCP

In Claude on the web or Claude Desktop:

1. Open Customize, then Connectors.
2. Click Add custom connector.
3. Name it Videoslash and paste https://www.videoslash.com/api/mcp. Leave the OAuth fields empty.
4. Click Add, then Connect. Sign in to Videoslash and click Allow.
5. Start a chat and ask for a credit check or a clip.

Videoslash says not to edit claude_desktop_config.json for this server. Claude Desktop rejects remote servers in that file. Use Connectors.

In Claude Code, create an API key under Developers in your account, then run one command:

claude mcp add --transport http videoslash https://www.videoslash.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer $VIDSLASH_API_KEY"

Keys carry scopes. A read key can only check credits and list models. You need creative:generate to make anything, and editor:write to touch the editor. A key only shows the tools its scopes allow, which is a sensible design.

What you get back, and what you still do

A publishable video takes six steps. Here is how far the MCP server gets, based on the tools in its docs on 10 September 2026.

You get: a script or title from the script tool. A clip or image from the model you named. Captions and cuts inside an editor project. A cloud export you poll for.

You do not get: a voiceover from the chat. The app has more than 50 voices, but we found no voice tool in the MCP docs. You also do not get a publish step. The one-click posting that the homepage sells is an app feature, not a tool Claude can call.

What that means in practice. To go from an idea to a posted Short, you would call the script tool, call the clip tool a few times, add the clips to an editor project, add captions, export, download, add the voice in the app or elsewhere, and upload. That is a lot of turns for one video. It is the same shape as Higgsfield’s MCP and fal.ai’s MCP: good parts, no assembly line.

Videoslash pricing

Prices below were read on the Videoslash pricing page on 10 September 2026. There is one plan, called Premium, in two billing periods.

Billing	Price	Effective monthly	Credits	Included
Yearly	€297 a year	€24.75 a month	100 a month	Creative Studio, Pro Studio, all video types, API and MCP
Monthly	€39 a month	€39 a month	100 a month	Same features

The plan lists more than 50 voices in 100 or more languages, 15 or more caption styles, no watermark, commercial rights, and unlimited storage. The pricing page does not say what one credit buys. We could not find a per-clip credit cost, so we cannot tell you how many MCP clips 100 credits make. Ask Claude to check your balance after the first generation and do the maths.

There is a Try Free button, but no free plan is listed on the pricing page. Per the MCP docs, a free account cannot generate through the connector.

We also looked for a Trustpilot profile for videoslash.com on 10 September 2026 and found none. So there is no independent review score to report.

Videoslash MCP vs AITuber MCP

	Videoslash MCP	AITuber MCP
Returns	A clip, an image, or a script per call; an export from the editor	A finished MP4 with voice and captions
Script writing	Yes, a script tool	Yes, built in
Voiceover	Not found in the MCP docs; 50+ voices in the app	Yes, 1,300+ voices
Captions	Yes, an editor tool	Yes, word synced
Clip length	5 to 20 seconds per call in the demos	Minutes
Publishing	Not found in the MCP docs; the app posts in one click	YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, X
Claude web and Desktop	Yes, OAuth connector	Yes
Coding agents	Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode with an API key	Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT
Free to try	No free plan found; MCP needs Premium	100 free credits, no card
Cheapest plan	€24.75 a month billed yearly	$39 a month

The honest read. Videoslash wins if you want to pick a model per clip and you already edit in its editor. It is also cheaper on the yearly plan. AITuber wins when the request is “make this video and post it” and you want that done in one turn.

Who should use Videoslash MCP

Use it if you already pay for Videoslash, you make faceless videos in its app, and you want Claude or Cursor to draft scripts and generate clips into your editor.

Skip it if you expected the one-click publishing from the homepage to work from Claude. It does not, as far as the docs show. Or if you need a voice on the clip without leaving the chat.

Use both if you like Videoslash’s model picker for hero shots and want a pipeline for the daily volume. Nothing stops you connecting two servers. Our guide to AI video generation in Claude with MCP shows the full flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Basics

Is there an official Videoslash MCP server?

Yes. Videoslash hosts it at https://www.videoslash.com/api/mcp and documents it under MCP Docs on its site. It connects to Claude with OAuth and to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode with an API key.

What does the Videoslash MCP return?

One piece per call. A script or title from the script tool. A clip or image from the model you pick, delivered as a CDN URL. Caption and cut jobs inside a Video Editor project, plus a cloud export. It does not return a narrated, published video.

Is “videomax mcp” the same thing?

Probably a misspelling. The three products people mean are Videoslash, Viewmax at viewmax.io, and ViewMax Studio at viewmax.studio. This guide covers Videoslash. Our Viewmax MCP review covers the other two.

Setup

How do I add Videoslash MCP to Claude?

Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector. Paste the server URL, click Connect, sign in, and click Allow. Do not edit claude_desktop_config.json; Videoslash says Claude Desktop rejects remote servers there.

How do I use Videoslash MCP in Claude Code?

Create an API key under Developers in your Videoslash account. Then run claude mcp add --transport http videoslash https://www.videoslash.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer $VIDSLASH_API_KEY". Check the connection with /mcp.

Cost

Is Videoslash MCP free?

Adding the connector is free. Generating is not. Videoslash’s docs say free accounts land on the billing page after connecting, and calls without credits return an error. Premium is €39 a month or €297 a year, with 100 credits a month.

How many videos do 100 Videoslash credits make?

The pricing page does not say what one credit costs per clip, so we cannot give a number. Ask Claude to check your balance before and after one generation.

Comparisons

Does Videoslash MCP publish to TikTok or YouTube?

Not that we could find. The one-click posting is an app feature. The MCP docs list no publish tool. A full-pipeline server like AITuber publishes to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and X from the chat.

Videoslash MCP or Viewmax MCP?

Viewmax at viewmax.io returns a composed Short with a voice and captions in one call. Videoslash returns parts you assemble. If you want the fewest turns per video, Viewmax’s app server is closer. If you want a model picker and an editor, Videoslash. If you want the video on your channel, neither; see the best MCP servers for AI video generation.

Final verdict

Videoslash MCP is a well-documented server for a faceless video app. Its async jobs, scoped keys, and inline previews in Claude are better built than most. But it exposes the studio, not the assembly line. From Claude you get scripts, clips, captions, and an export. The voice and the upload, the two steps that make Videoslash’s app worth paying for, stay in the app. If the job is a video on your channel by the end of the conversation, connect AITuber instead, or alongside.
