Edit videos with Claude

Connect Vyra to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or claude.ai over MCP. Claude sees your clips, cuts the timeline, and exports.

How it works

Add the Vyra MCP server. In Claude Code, run the commands below. The second one opens a sign-in window for Vyra. In Claude Desktop or on claude.ai, go to Customize > Connectors, click "+ Add", then "Add custom connector". Name it Vyra, enter https://api.usevyra.com/mcp, and click Continue. Review the detected sign-in, click Continue, choose "Sign in now", and click Add.
```
claude mcp add --transport http Vyra https://api.usevyra.com/mcp
claude mcp login Vyra
```
Ask the agent to open a project or create one. Nothing has to stay open on your side. The agent edits on Vyra's servers, and the project shows up in the web and iPhone apps whenever you want to look.
Upload your footage. Every clip gets transcribed and described.
Tell Claude what to make. Ask for a plan first if the footage is long.
Claude uses the editing tools. Add, trim, split, captions, masks, motion graphics, effects, export.
Check frames or read the timeline back, then fix one thing at a time.

What you can ask for

You say	Claude does in Vyra
"Summarize what's in this project"	Lists clips with scene summaries and durations
"Propose a 45-second structure, then wait"	Returns a timestamped plan you can edit in text
"Build it, straight cuts, no captions"	Assembles the rough cut
"Add phrase captions and make 'never again' big and yellow"	Generates captions with word-level emphasis
"Show me frames at 0:05 and 0:30"	Captures the canvas so you can check placement
"Export for TikTok"	Renders 1080x1920

Prompts to paste

Connect to my Vyra project "commission reveal". List every clip with a one-line description. Then propose a 40-second Reel: open on the canvas coming out of the box, three painting moments, end on the finished piece. Wait for my OK.

Build the rough cut as planned. Cut every pause over 0.4 seconds and every retake, keep the last attempt of each line. Add 3-5 word captions, bold white, lower third. Add a calm piano track at 25% under my voice. Then read the timeline back with timestamps.

Look at the reference video attached to the project. In three lines, tell me its cut rhythm, caption style, and how the music behaves. Then apply those three things to my footage without changing my order of points.

Compared to the usual way

	Traditional editor	Claude with a passthrough integration	Claude with Vyra
Claude's role	None	Forwards your prompt to the vendor's AI	Plans and executes the edit with real tools
Sees the footage	No	No	Transcripts, scene descriptions, frames
Where you work	The app	The app plus Claude	Claude on desktop or phone, nothing else open
Cost	App subscription	App plus Claude	Vyra MCP plan plus the Claude plan you already have

Limits

Claude edits footage you uploaded. It doesn't generate clips.
Claude may say a step is done before it is. Ask for the timeline read-back.

FAQ

Does it work in Claude Code? Yes. It's one of the most tested clients. Developers use it to script batch edits.

Can Claude see the actual video? It sees the transcript, the scene descriptions, and any frames you ask it to capture. That's enough to pick takes and check text placement.

Do I still need a Vyra AI plan? No. MCP plans are for people bringing their own Claude. Vyra AI plans include a built-in agent.
