Add Vyra's MCP server, authorize it, and ChatGPT can list your projects, read the footage, build a cut, add captions and music, and export. Same prompts as Vyra's own chat, plus you can ask for a plan first.

Before you start

  • A Vyra account on an MCP plan (MCP Starter or MCP Pro).
  • ChatGPT on the web. In a workspace, your admin's permissions decide whether you can add custom MCP servers. Codex in the ChatGPT desktop app uses a separate setup, covered at /docs/mcp.
  • The Vyra MCP server URL is https://api.usevyra.com/mcp. Details at /docs/mcp.
  • A project with footage already uploaded.

Steps

  1. Open Plugins. Go to https://chatgpt.com/plugins, click the plus button, then "Add custom MCP server".
  2. Add the Vyra server. Name it Vyra. Under Connection, enter the Server URL https://api.usevyra.com/mcp. Set authentication to OAuth, select "I understand and want to continue", then "Create as a plugin".
  3. Authorize. Install the Vyra plugin. When the OAuth 2.1 flow opens in your browser, sign in to Vyra and approve.
  4. Pick a project. Ask the agent to list your projects or create a new one. No browser tab needs to stay open. The agent edits on Vyra's servers, and you can open the project in the web or iPhone app any time.
  5. Start a chat and make sure the Vyra tools are on. Type @ in the prompt box and select Vyra.
  6. Ask for a plan before an edit. Have it summarize the footage and propose a structure.
  7. Edit in steps. Rough cut, captions, music, export. One message each.
  8. Verify. Ask it to read the timeline back and capture a few frames.

The prompt to use

Using the Vyra connector, open my project "launch video" and summarize the footage. Propose a 30-second hook-and-demo structure. Me stating the problem, screen recording of the fix, me showing the result. Wait for my OK, then build it with phrase captions and a lo-fi track ducked under my voice.

Check the result

  • The summary names real clips and lines from your project.
  • The timeline read-back matches what ChatGPT said it did.

FAQ

ChatGPT said it made the edit but nothing changed. Ask it to read the timeline back. Then say "That's not what the timeline shows. Do X now."

Can I use ChatGPT and Claude on the same project? Yes. Same project either way.
