Make Seedance 2.5 videos from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor
Revana runs a hosted MCP server at https://revana.si/api/mcp. Connect it once and your AI assistant can price and make Seedance 2.5 videos on your prepaid credits: it quotes first, asks you, makes the clip and hands you the download link. No skill file or local install is needed.
Connect it
| App | How |
|---|---|
| Claude (claude.ai, Desktop) | Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, paste https://revana.si/api/mcp, then Connect and approve on revana.si. Or use the button on revana.si/mcp. |
| Claude Code | claude mcp add --transport http revana https://revana.si/api/mcp, then /mcp and choose Revana to sign in. |
| ChatGPT | Settings, Apps & Connectors, Advanced settings: turn on Developer mode. Then Create, name it Revana, paste the server URL, choose OAuth and approve on revana.si. |
| Cursor | The Add to Cursor button on revana.si/mcp; Cursor asks you to sign in the first time. |
| VS Code | code --add-mcp '{"name":"revana","type":"http","url":"https://revana.si/api/mcp"}' |
| Codex CLI | codex mcp add revana --url https://revana.si/api/mcp, then codex mcp login revana. |
Any other MCP client that takes a URL and headers works with an API key from your dashboard:
{
"mcpServers": {
"revana": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://revana.si/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer sr_live_YOUR_KEY"
}
}
}
}Then just ask
Make a 10 second 720p Seedance 2.5 video of a paper boat sailing down a rainy street, with the sound of rain. Tell me the price first.
The assistant calls get_quote and tells you the price ($2.10 for that clip), waits for your yes, calls generate_video with that price as the cap, follows it with get_video, and gives you a link from get_video_link. To animate a picture or use references, attach it: upload_file turns it into a link the model can use.
The tools
| Tool | What it does | Cost |
|---|---|---|
list_models | Every video and image model with options and prices | Free |
get_quote | The exact price of a video before anything is spent | Free |
generate_video | Makes a Seedance 2.5 video, capped by the most you allow | The quoted price |
get_video | Waits for the video without the assistant polling in a loop | Free |
get_video_link | A download link for the finished file, good for an hour | Free |
upload_file | A link for a picture, clip or sound from your computer, good for 14 days | Free |
get_balance | What your credits can spend now | Free |
quote_nemesis, make_nemesis | Restage your own clip with other people, products or places | The quoted price |
buy_credits | Tops up a pack you name, only on a connection where you turned billing on (not in ChatGPT) | The pack you ask for |
Spending stays in your hands
- Videos are paid from credit you top up in advance; there is no bill afterwards.
- Every video carries a cap (
max_cost_usd, up to $100 a video): it never costs more. - The assistant is told to quote and ask before it spends. Retrying a request with the same id never makes or charges a second video.
- Failed videos are not charged.
- Revoke a connection any time by revoking its key in your dashboard.
Why MCP rather than a skill or a script
A skill file teaches an assistant to call an API, but it still needs a key, a place to run code and somewhere to keep the file. The MCP server is hosted: the assistant gets typed tools, sign-in is a button, and nothing runs on your machine. It is listed in the official MCP registry as si.revana/revana. For code you write yourself, the REST API takes the same requests.
FAQ
Can Claude make Seedance 2.5 videos?
Yes, with an MCP server that offers Seedance 2.5. Add https://revana.si/api/mcp as a connector in Claude or with claude mcp add in Claude Code, then ask for the video; it quotes first and spends only what you approve.
Does it work in ChatGPT?
Yes. Turn on Developer mode in ChatGPT’s Apps & Connectors settings, create a connector with https://revana.si/api/mcp and OAuth, and approve it on revana.si.
Do I need a Claude skill for Seedance 2.5?
No. The MCP server gives Claude the tools directly. A skill is only useful if you want to call the REST API from code Claude writes.
What does a Seedance 2.5 video cost through MCP?
The same as the API: $0.09, $0.21 and $0.52 per second at 480p, 720p and 1080p. The assistant tells you the exact price before it makes anything.
