Bring Video Automation
to VS Code Copilot
Learn how to connect RenderMe to VS Code Copilot and start using 12 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the RenderMe MCP Server?
Connect your RenderMe (re.video) account to any AI agent and take full control of your automated video production and media orchestration through natural conversation. RenderMe provides a powerful API for rendering professional videos from motion templates, allowing you to trigger render jobs, manage deployments, and track media assets directly from your chat interface.
What you can do
- Automated Video Rendering — Trigger video generation jobs using deployment IDs and dynamic variables (text, images, colors) programmatically.
- Job Lifecycle Management — Monitor the status of your rendering requests and retrieve final result URLs directly from the AI interface.
- Template & Deployment Control — List all available video templates and access detailed technical metadata to ensure your visual content is always on-brand.
- Asset & Folder Oversight — Manage your video projects, uploaded media, and organizational folders via natural language.
- Operational Monitoring — Track account statistics and monitor system health using simple AI commands.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your RenderMe (re.video) API Key from your dashboard settings
3. Start generating video content from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual editing or complex media processing. Your AI acts as a dedicated video producer or technical media coordinator.
Who is this for?
- Social Media Managers — quickly generate branded video snippets and monitor production queues without switching apps.
- Marketing Teams — automate the creation of personalized video assets for email campaigns or social ads.
- Operations Teams — streamline the management of cloud assets and monitor organizational media health directly within the chat.

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find my RenderMe templates?
Yes! Use the list_deployments tool. Your agent will respond with complete metadata for all your video templates, including their IDs and technical specifications in seconds.
How do I find my RenderMe (re.video) API Key?
Log in to your RenderMe account at app.re.video, navigate to the Settings or API section, and you will find your unique secret token there.
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.
