# MCP server: connecting an AI client to Vyra

> AI-controllable video editor via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Your AI client opens projects, reads timelines, edits clips, applies effects, exports renders — using the same tools a human editor would.

Vyra runs in the user's browser; the AI client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, or any MCP-compatible client) drives it remotely over MCP. The user must keep at least one Vyra tab open in their browser for editing tools to work — tabs auto-bind on focus.

## MCP Server

- URL: `https://api.usevyra.com/mcp`
- Transport: Streamable HTTP (POST + optional GET SSE notification stream)
- Auth: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE — the client opens an authorization URL in the user's browser; the user signs into Vyra and approves the connection.

## Setting up an MCP client

The exact command differs by client. Here are the common ones:

### Claude Code (CLI)

```
claude mcp add --transport http Vyra https://api.usevyra.com/mcp
claude mcp login Vyra
```

`claude mcp login Vyra` opens the OAuth authorization URL in the user's browser. Inside a Claude Code session, `/mcp` → Vyra → Authenticate does the same. Keep `--transport http`: without it, Claude Code treats the URL as a stdio command. The server is added for the current project by default; add `--scope user` to make it available in every project.

### Claude Desktop and claude.ai

Remote servers are added as a custom connector in the user's Claude account, not in `claude_desktop_config.json`. The same connector works in Claude Desktop and claude.ai.

1. Go to Customize → Connectors.
2. Click "+ Add", then "Add custom connector".
3. Enter the name `Vyra` and the URL `https://api.usevyra.com/mcp`, then click "Continue".
4. Review the detected sign-in and click "Continue".
5. Under Authentication, choose "Sign in now", then click "Add". The user signs into Vyra and approves the connection.

To use it in a conversation: click "+" in the chat input → Connectors → toggle Vyra on.

On Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner adds the connector first in Organization settings → Connectors; members then find it in Customize → Connectors and click "Connect". Free plans allow one custom connector.

### OpenAI Codex (CLI, IDE extension, ChatGPT desktop app)

```
codex mcp add vyra --url https://api.usevyra.com/mcp
codex mcp login vyra
```

`codex mcp login vyra` opens the OAuth flow in the user's browser. Or add it to `~/.codex/config.toml` by hand:

```toml
[mcp_servers.vyra]
url = "https://api.usevyra.com/mcp"
```

In the ChatGPT desktop app: Settings → MCP servers → Add server. Enter the name `vyra`, choose Streamable HTTP, enter the URL, and save. Click Restart, then Authenticate on the vyra row. The desktop app, Codex CLI, and IDE extension share this configuration.

### ChatGPT (web)

ChatGPT on the web adds remote MCP servers as plugins; it doesn't read the Codex config.

1. Go to Plugins (`https://chatgpt.com/plugins`), click the plus button, then "Add custom MCP server".
2. Enter the name `Vyra` and, under Connection, the Server URL `https://api.usevyra.com/mcp`.
3. Set authentication to OAuth.
4. Select "I understand and want to continue", then "Create as a plugin".
5. Install the plugin and sign in to Vyra when prompted.

To use it in a conversation, type `@` in the prompt box and select Vyra. Workspace permissions apply to adding custom MCP servers.

### Cursor

Add the server to `.cursor/mcp.json` in the project (or `~/.cursor/mcp.json` for every project):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Vyra": {
      "url": "https://api.usevyra.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Open Customize in Cursor's sidebar, make sure Vyra is turned on, and complete the OAuth sign-in in the browser when Cursor asks.

### Generic MCP client

Any client that implements the Streamable HTTP transport and OAuth 2.1 + PKCE can connect:

- Server URL: `https://api.usevyra.com/mcp`
- The OAuth metadata is at `https://api.usevyra.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`
- After auth, POST JSON-RPC requests to the server URL. GET the same URL for a server-pushed notification SSE stream (optional).

## After setup

Once the client is authorized:

1. Open `https://app.usevyra.com` in the user's browser and sign in with the same account they authorized.
2. Open any project. The tab auto-binds as the editor's dispatch target — no button click required. A green indicator in the top-right confirms.
3. Ask the AI to do anything an editor would — "trim the dead air", "add captions in TikTok style", "color grade like a moody film", "export this in 1080p". The AI uses Vyra's MCP tools to make the changes; the user sees them in real time.

## Available tools (summary)

- View / search project assets, view timeline, view individual item details
- Add media, text, shapes, layouts, motion graphics, captions
- Edit visual / timing properties, move / split / clone / delete items
- Color grading, effects (WebGL + CSS), masking, transitions, keyframes
- Export the project to MP4 / WebM; poll export status
- Browse / apply templates, styles, presets
- Reference videos for stylistic inspiration

The full tool catalog is exposed via the standard MCP `tools/list` method. Each tool has a description and JSON-schema input.

## Help

If you get stuck: `searchHelpDocs(query)` searches the user-facing help library inside the MCP server.
