Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 3 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Kapwing.

    This capability starts a new rendering job. You provide a project definition including width, height, and various layers like video or text.

  3. 03

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Kapwing works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Kapwing to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 3 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Kapwing, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Kapwing. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions Kapwing owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I start a video render?

    You tell your AI client to create a render and provide the necessary project details like dimensions and layers.

  • 02

    Can I see if my video is finished?

    Yes, your agent can use the status capability to check if a render is complete and retrieve the download link.

  • 03

    What clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 04

    Do I need to use the Kapwing website?

    No, once you have connected the MCP, you can manage your renders directly through your AI agent.

  • 05

    How do I manage my previous videos?

    Your agent can list all renders associated with your account to help you find past media.

  • 06

    How can I check if my video render is finished?

    You can use the get_render_status capability by providing your unique Render ID. The agent will return the current status (e.g., 'completed') and the download URL if it's ready.

  • 07

    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.

  • 08

    Is it possible to see a history of all my renders?

    Absolutely. The list_renders capability fetches all renders associated with your authenticated account, allowing the AI to summarize or find specific past projects.
