Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Kapwing MCP Server?
Connect your Kapwing account to any AI agent to automate your video production and media rendering workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Automated Rendering — Initiate complex video or image renders using project JSON definitions including layers, text, and dimensions
- Status Tracking — Monitor the real-time progress of your renders and retrieve download URLs once processing is complete
- Asset Management — List and browse all renders associated with your account to keep track of your media history
- Webhook Integration — Optionally receive notifications at a specific URL when your media is ready
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Kapwing API Key
- Start generating and managing media from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual editing for repetitive tasks. Your AI acts as a video engineer, handling the rendering pipeline for you.

Frequently asked questions
How can I check if my video render is finished?
You can use the get_render_status tool by providing your unique Render ID. The agent will return the current status (e.g., 'completed') and the download URL if it's ready.
Can I start a new render using a JSON project definition?
Yes! Use the create_render action. You just need to provide the project object containing dimensions and layers. You can also specify a webhookUrl for automated notifications.
Is it possible to see a history of all my renders?
Absolutely. The list_renders tool fetches all renders associated with your authenticated account, allowing the AI to summarize or find specific past projects.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
