Why people use Kapwing
Kapwing for Automated Video Production Workflows
With this Connector, you just give your AI agent a JSON file or a description. It takes those specs and sends them straight to Kapwing to start the render. You get the final download link without ever opening the editor.
What Vinkius changes
You can turn natural language commands into high-quality video and image renders without touching an editor.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about Kapwing.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
How do I use Kapwing MCP to automate my videos?
You just connect your account and then tell your AI agent what you want to build. It handles the rendering for you so you don't have to click through a complicated editor.
Can Kapwing MCP handle different video dimensions?
Yes, you can specify any width and height in your project definition. The AI agent will pass these dimensions to the rendering engine for you.
Does Kapwing MCP support text layers in renders?
It does. You can include text layers as part of your project JSON. This allows your agent to generate videos with specific titles or captions automatically.
How do I get the download link for a finished video?
Once the render is complete, you can ask your agent to check the status. It will retrieve the final download URL and provide it to you instantly.
Can I use Kapwing MCP to manage my entire render history?
Yes, the Connector can pull a full list of all renders associated with your account. This helps you keep track of everything you've created in one place.
Will Kapwing MCP notify me when my video is ready?
You can set up webhooks to get notified at a specific URL. This is great for building automated workflows where the next step starts as soon as the video finishes.
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.
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 capability fetches all renders associated with your authenticated account, allowing the AI to summarize or find specific past projects.
