FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

How can I check if my video render is finished?

You can use the get_render_status tool by providing your unique Render ID. The agent will return the current status (e.g., 'completed') and the download URL if it's ready.

02

Can I start a new render using a JSON project definition?

Yes! Use the create_render action. You just need to provide the project object containing dimensions and layers. You can also specify a webhookUrl for automated notifications.

03

Is it possible to see a history of all my renders?

Absolutely. The list_renders tool fetches all renders associated with your authenticated account, allowing the AI to summarize or find specific past projects.

How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
