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.

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.
How does LlamaIndex connect to MCP servers?
Use the MCP client adapter to create a connection. LlamaIndex discovers all tools and wraps them as query engine tools compatible with any LlamaIndex agent.
Can I combine MCP tools with vector stores?
Yes. LlamaIndex agents can query Runway ML tools and vector store indexes in the same turn, combining real-time and embedded data for grounded responses.
Does LlamaIndex support async MCP calls?
Yes. LlamaIndex's async agent framework supports concurrent MCP tool calls for high-throughput data processing pipelines.
