First call opens an OAuth sign-in. The agent acts as you, scoped to your workspace.

Three steps

Connect from the client you already use.

The endpoint and capabilities stay the same across Claude, Codex, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP clients.

  1. 01

    Add the endpoint

    Paste the hosted BlitzReels URL into your client's MCP server or connector settings.

  2. 02

    Approve OAuth

    Sign in once. Every tool call stays scoped to your BlitzReels workspace and permissions.

  3. 03

    Describe the edit

    Ask the agent to inspect, edit, generate, or export. It chooses from the same canonical tool catalog.

Names and descriptions come from the same descriptors served to connected agents, so this list stays aligned with discovery.

AI agent video editing FAQ

Connection, authentication, compatibility, and API questions about the hosted server.

Does BlitzReels have an MCP server?+

Yes. BlitzReels runs a hosted MCP server over Streamable HTTP with OAuth at https://www.blitzreels.com/api/mcp. Add it to ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-capable client and the agent can read projects, edit, and export on your behalf.

Can Claude Code edit videos with captions from a CLI?+

Yes. Claude Code signs in with the BlitzReels CLI (npx blitzreels auth login), then reads projects, edits captions and transcripts, inserts B-roll, and exports, all from the terminal. An installable agent skill pack gives Claude Code the exact commands and safe edit flows.

Which AI agents are compatible with BlitzReels?+

BlitzReels works with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and ChatGPT through the MCP server, CLI, or REST API, plus other MCP-capable clients such as Cursor. Installable skill packs are published for the most common coding agents.

Which video APIs support transcripts, B-roll, and export automation?+

BlitzReels covers transcripts, captions, B-roll insertion, reframing, and export automation in one REST API, with a hosted MCP server and a CLI on top. The OpenAPI schema at /api/openapi.json lets you generate clients for custom agents.

Can I try the agent integration for free?+

Yes. Create a free account, get an API key, and connect the MCP server or CLI. Watermark-free export is available on paid plans.

Give your agent a video editor.

Connect once, approve your workspace, and start editing from any MCP-capable client.
