Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Runway ML Alternative MCP Server?
Connect your Runway ML account to any AI agent to automate high-end video generation workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Advanced Generation — Trigger Gen-3 Alpha Turbo or Gen-2 models using text prompts or image-to-video inputs
- Precise Control — Configure duration (5s or 10s), aspect ratios, seeds, and watermarking for professional results
- Real-time Monitoring — Query specific task statuses and retrieve output URLs as soon as the AI finishes processing
- Asset Management — List your entire generation history and delete or cancel tasks to keep your workspace organized
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Runway API Key
- Start generating cinematic videos from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual checking of generation progress bars. Your AI agent acts as a creative director, handling the technical API calls while you focus on the vision.
Who is this for?
- Creative Directors — quickly iterate on visual concepts and storyboards without leaving the chat interface
- Content Creators — automate the production of video assets by describing scenes in natural language
- Developers — integrate professional video generation capabilities directly into your coding workflow or internal tools

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Runway ML Alternative data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 4 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
How do I start a new video generation with a specific prompt?
Use the create_task tool. You can specify the model (like gen3a_turbo), the promptText, and even optional parameters like duration (5 or 10 seconds) or ratio.
How can I check if my video is ready to download?
Use the get_task tool with your unique task ID. It will return the current status and the output URL once the generation is complete.
Is it possible to remove a task from my history or stop a running one?
Yes, the delete_task tool allows you to cancel an active generation or remove the record of a completed task from your account.
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.
