How to Use the BannerBite MCP in Claude

Q: How do I install the BannerBite MCP Server in Claude Desktop?

Open your developer settings and edit the claudedesktopconfig.json file. Add the Vinkius endpoint URL to the mcpServers array and restart the app. You can also paste the URL directly into the integrations tab on the web version.

Q: Can Claude Desktop generate videos using BannerBite?

Yes. The agent uses the generatevideo tool to trigger renders based on your configured templates. You just tell it which text or images to swap in.

Q: Why does Claude Desktop say my BannerBite account is disconnected?

The server runs a quick getaccountcheck to verify your credentials before attempting any media generation. If that fails, grab a fresh endpoint token from your Vinkius dashboard and update your config.

Ask the agent to list your available templates. It runs listprojects and formats the IDs and names into a neat table for you.

Perplexity

Render visuals with Claude Desktop

You need a batch of social assets right now. Instead of logging into another dashboard, tell your AI client to spin them up. The `generate_media` tool takes your existing templates and pushes out fresh images or videos based on your chat prompt. Claude handles the parameter mapping automatically. If you want a static graphic, it fires off `generate_image`. Need motion? It hits `generate_video` and returns the asset links straight into your conversation.

Inspect templates and scenes

Finding the right template ID used to mean digging through documentation. Now Claude pulls your entire workspace hierarchy using `list_projects`. It reads the available variables so you know exactly what text or colors you can swap. Breaking down a specific video template is just as fast. The `get_project` tool grabs the structural details, while `list_bites` exposes the individual scenes. You get a complete map of your creative assets without leaving the chat window.

Track your BannerBite MCP Server jobs

Video generation takes time. You don't want to sit there refreshing a web page. Claude monitors the queue for you by calling `list_renders` to check the status of your recent batch jobs. When a specific asset finishes processing, `get_render` grabs the final download URL. Your agent drops the finished link right into your thread the second it completes.
