Remotion's Model Context Protocol

You can use Remotion's Model Context Protocol (MCP) Client to make your editor's AI Chat better at understanding Remotion.

Our MCP server uses CrawlChat's technology to index Remotion's documentation into a vector database.

Test Phase: Right now, this tool is open without authentication. If running this tool gets too expensive, we might restrict the usage.

Cursor​

One-Click Install​

Install MCP Server

Manual Installation​

Go to your Cursor Settings: Cmd+Ctrl + P, then type > Cursor Settings and confirm with Enter.

Add an MCP:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "remotion-documentation": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@remotion/mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

If this worked, a green dot should show up and the tool remotion-documentation should show up.

If you now ask Cursor in the composer to use the Remotion Documentation, the MCP should get invoked.


VS Code​

One-Click Install​

Install MCP Server →

Manual Installation​

Open the Command Palette: Cmd+Shift+P (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux).

Type > MCP: Add Server and confirm with Enter.

Choose Add from JSON and paste the following configuration:

json
{
  "name": "remotion-documentation",
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["@remotion/mcp@latest"]
}

The server should now appear in the MCP servers list. You can verify it's running by opening the Extensions view (Cmd+Shift+X / Ctrl+Shift+X) and checking the MCP Servers section.

If you now ask GitHub Copilot Chat to use the Remotion Documentation, the MCP should get invoked.
