What is the Runway ML MCP Server?
Connect your AI to Runway ML, the pioneer in applied AI research shaping the next era of art, entertainment and human creativity. This powerful integration empowers you to tap directly into Runway's cutting-edge Gen-3 Alpha and Gen-4 video generation models right from your conversational workspace. Produce stunning, realistic, or highly stylized video clips simply by typing out your vision or providing a reference image.
What you can do
- Text-to-Video Generation — Write detailed prompts to synthesize entirely new, imaginative scenes using
gen3_turbo,gen4_turbo, or the standardtext_to_videotooling. - Image-to-Video Animation — Bring still images to life using
image_to_videoor precisely guide the motion of a starting image with a textual director prompt usingimage_text_to_video. - Advanced Interpolation — Seamlessly blend two distinct keyframe images into one smooth transitional motion clip (
interpolate). - Complete Task Management — Maintain full control over costly generation pipelines. Easily check job status or output URLs (
get_task,list_tasks), cancel ongoing renders to save credits (cancel_task), and audit your organization's billing usage (get_organization).
How it works
- Successfully enable the Runway ML integration within this application hub.
- Sign into your Runway Developer Portal and access the API Keys section.
- Once you generate a new, secure token, paste it securely into the connection configuration below.
- Chat with your AI: "Generate a 10 second cinematic video of a futuristic cyberpunk city using Gen-3 Turbo."
Who is this for?
- Creative Directors & Media Teams — Develop storyboards, conceptualize scenes, or rapidly prototype full commercial grade sequences inside simple textual conversations.
- Social Content Creators — Generate eye-catching B-roll quickly using high-grade diffusion models exactly tailored directly from prompt instructions.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Runway ML into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Runway ML and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
How can I preview the output without fully committing my prompt?
Video generation actions using the Runway engines are directly invoked through asynchronous background tasks. Instead of an exact real-time preview, you can start small 5-second generations or iterate closely on your prompt texts until they produce the final aesthetic you want.
Does this integration process video rendering in real-time?
No. Video rendering is asynchronous. When you submit a prompt or an image, the AI will dispatch a background task to Runway's servers and receive a 'task_id'. You will need to ask the AI to verify the status of this task later, usually after a few minutes, to fetch the final video URL.
Can I use Gen-4 models for free?
No. Runway requires credits for all generations, and Gen-4 Turbo consumes significantly more credits than earlier models or standard actions. You must maintain sufficient active credits or a paid subscription on your Runway account for the AI to successfully execute the rendering jobs.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
