Make provenance-sealed films from ChatGPT, Claude or any MCP client, with the account you already have.
https://api.makemeamovie.app/mcpMake Me a Movie runs an MCP server that turns a written brief into a short film — storyboard, cast, keyframes, voices, clips, music and a final cut — and seals every shot with a provenance manifest anyone can verify. It uses the same account, prices and refunds as the website.

Connectors added on claude.ai also appear in Claude Code when you sign in to Claude Code with your Claude subscription. For the make-a-film skill and the film command as well (in Cowork, run it as /makemeamovie:film), add the plugin instead: open Customize > Plugins, choose Add > Add marketplace, enter mark24680617/makemeamovie-plugin, add the Make Me a Movie plugin, then add and connect its connector from the plugin's Connectors tab.

Developer mode
The server speaks Streamable HTTP and signs you in with OAuth; there is no API key to paste.
In your terminal
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user makemeamovie https://api.makemeamovie.app/mcpclaude mcp login makemeamovie--scope user makes the server available in every project. claude mcp login signs you in on makemeamovie.app in your browser. For the make-a-film skill and the /makemeamovie:film command as well, install the plugin instead of adding the server: claude plugin marketplace add mark24680617/makemeamovie-plugin, then claude plugin install makemeamovie@makemeamovie, then sign in from /mcp.
Any other MCP client connects to https://api.makemeamovie.app/mcp over Streamable HTTP from a server, desktop app or command line. Its first request without a token gets a 401 whose challenge points at the resource metadata; OAuth starts from there. Browser-based clients are refused: a request carrying an Origin header gets a 403 before any sign-in.
Your assistant sends you to makemeamovie.app. Sign in, or create an account, and approve the connection. The approval page names the app and where it will send you back. Every film is quoted first. The server starts one only when the credits approved in the chat cover the estimate, and never charges past the approved figure: a film that would pass it pauses for a fresh approval.
S256; clients are public, with no client secret.https://api.makemeamovie.app/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp; authorization-server metadata at https://api.makemeamovie.app/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server.https://claude.ai and https://chatgpt.com. Any other client registers once with dynamic client registration at https://api.makemeamovie.app/oauth/register: a public client, application_type web or native, redirect URIs on https, or on http at a loopback address.films is the only scope. offline_access is accepted and has no further effect.https://api.makemeamovie.app/mcp, and is refused anywhere else, including the website.https://api.makemeamovie.app/oauth/revoke. Changing your password revokes every connection. A film the app is making stops before its next scene: what is already generating finishes and is kept, and the film waits, paused, to be resumed in the studio.get_account — the balance, the options on offer, how much of the account's daily limit for AI apps is left today, and which account is connected.create_project with a title and a brief — a draft. Nothing is generated or charged.quote_film — the estimate, approve_credits (the figure to ask for, with room for spoken lines that run long), the time, and every reason it would refuse. Show the user both and get their approval of approve_credits in the chat.start_film with approved_credits set to the approved figure; the approved_credits in its answer is the ceiling the run charges against. The run is charged at actual, scene by scene, and never past the approval: if the next charge would pass it, the film pauses and get_film_status says why. Never call it again while the phase is running.get_film_status with wait_seconds up to 45, called again as soon as it answers: the server does the waiting, so there is no need to sleep between calls. poll_after_seconds says how long to wait between calls made without wait_seconds — about 20 s while a film is being made. When poll_after_seconds is null the film has settled: read phase and next_action.get_film when the phase is done — the mp4, the manifest and the provenance summary.share_film only when the user asks for a public link, with confirm_public=true after telling them the link is permanent.phase is one of not_started, idle, running, paused, failed or done. A film takes about 8 to 20 minutes.
next_action asks forget_film_status again with wait_seconds.poll_after_seconds is null. A paused film says why in pause_reason: approval_used (its approval is used up; approval gives approved_credits, charged_credits, remaining_credits, and rest_credits, the rest of the film at today's estimate), disconnected (the app that started it was disconnected) or user (the account owner paused it). Quote, ask the user, then start_film; nothing already paid for is regenerated.For control stage by stage: write_storyboard, edit_storyboard, add_character, update_character_voice, generate_stage for one stage on one scene or all of them, cancel_job, stop_film and update_project_settings. Each charging tool states its price in any refusal.
All 18, in the order tools/list returns them. Read-only tools change nothing. Tools that charge credits need approved_credits. Destructive tools replace, discard or publish something that cannot be taken back.

quote_film also returns approve_credits: the estimate plus about a quarter of the price of each scene still priced from words, with that extra trimmed to what today's limit and the balance leave. Ask the user to approve that. A film is charged at actual, unused approval is never charged, and a film never charges past the figure approved: when the next charge would pass it, the film pauses and get_film_status says why.clip_model set to auto, a scene goes to the default silent or speaking model, whichever it needs, at that model's price, and get_project gives each scene's clip price before anything is charged. A clip that falls back to another model keeps the price it was charged at.approved_credits. The price is recomputed at the call; a figure short of it is refused with [quote_changed] and the new figure, and nothing is charged.get_account, daily_limit is the account's limit, daily_cap the most it can be, and daily_cap_remaining what is left today. Each approval holds its figure against the day it was given; when the film or call settles, what it did not spend, and any refund, goes back to that day. The limit resets at 00:00 UTC. The balance is always the hard stop. A lower limit applies to approvals given after it is saved.cancel_job and stop_film discard its output and refund nothing. cancel_job refuses a finished or failed job.verify_film calls per 5 minutes per account.write_storyboard, add_character, start_film and generate_stage.get_film_status waits at most 45 s. write_storyboard and add_character wait up to 40 s, then answer busy and keep working; get_film_status reports when they land.create_project, repeated with the same arguments within 120 s returns the first answer instead of acting twice; while the first is still running it answers [conflict].Every refusal is one line that starts with a bracketed code, then the figure, then what to do. quote_film reports the codes that would stop start_film as blockers without failing. A stage that fails during a run is not a tool error: the status shows phase failed with the error and the refund — and the finished film beside them when an earlier cut landed. next_action reads get_film then, unless the run was cut short by a restart and can simply resume.
generate_stage says it stopped partway, when the submissions it names were charged. Tell the user; credits are bought on the website.approved_credits is below the price computed now; for start_film, below the estimate computed now. Show the user the new figure, ask again, and call with it.retry_after_seconds it names.stop_film.get_film_status; do not call start_film.list_projects or get_project.brief to start_film or update_project_settings.generate_stage needs a storyboard first. Run write_storyboard, or start_film for the whole film.cancel_job on a job that has already finished, generate_stage on a film start_film is making, or a charge refused because the app was disconnected. Read the message; poll get_film_status rather than repeating the call.get_film_status until the phase is done.get_account and choose another option.share_film was called without confirm_public=true. Tell the user the link is permanent; pass true only if they agree.generate_stage says it stopped partway, when the submissions it names were charged. Try again later.Every shot and the final cut carry a manifest: the providers, models, prompts and parameters that made them, and a SHA-256 hash of each asset, sealed under one canonical hash. verify_film takes a manifest URL, a project id or a share id, recomputes the film's manifest and every source manifest it was cut from, and reports which verify. verified means the manifests are hash-consistent and carry the recorded asset digests; the media bytes are not fetched again. Anyone can check a manifest by hand on the verify page.
