What is the GAN.ai MCP Server?
Connect your GAN.ai account to any AI agent to automate your personalized video marketing and sales outreach through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). GAN.ai is a leading generative AI platform that enables brands to create thousands of unique videos with custom names, locations, and details. This MCP server enables you to trigger video generation, monitor real-time processing status, and retrieve landing page links directly through natural conversation.
Key Features
- Personalized Video Generation — Trigger bulk video generation based on project templates and dynamic tags (e.g., first name, company).
- Real-time Status Monitoring — Track the asynchronous processing of your video requests and retrieve final MP4 and landing page URLs.
- Project Oversight — List all video templates/projects and fetch detailed variable definitions for personalization.
- Campaign Discovery — Access your history of generated videos and monitor their status (pending, processing, completed).
- Landing Page Integration — Retrieve branded landing page permalinks for each generated video to fuel your outreach sequences.
- Engagement Analytics — Fetch view counts and engagement metrics for specific videos to measure campaign success.
- Webhook Visibility — List configured webhooks to ensure your systems are receiving real-time generation notifications.
- Real-time Synchronization — Keep your generative video strategy accessible to your AI assistant without leaving your primary workspace.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Workspace ID and API Token?
Log in to GAN.ai, go to Settings, and navigate to the API section to find your Workspace ID and generate a Bearer Token.
What is an 'Inference ID'?
An Inference ID is a unique tracking number returned when you trigger a video generation. You use it with the 'get_generation_status' tool to check if the video is ready.
Are personalized landing pages included in the API response?
Yes! Once a video is completed, the agent retrieves the 'permalink', which is a non-expiring link to the personalized landing page hosting the video.
Can I monitor video view analytics via the agent?
Yes, the 'get_video_stats' tool allows you to retrieve real-time engagement data, such as view counts and playback metrics, for any generated video.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
