Tutorial · Claude connector (MCP)

Connect Revana to Claude

Add Revana as a connector and Claude can make videos for you. It looks up the models, tells you the price, waits for your yes, and hands you the download link. Everything runs on your Revana credits.

  • Claude gets its own API key, named Claude connector. It shows under API keys in your dashboard, where you can revoke it at any time.
  • It can see models and prices, make videos and get links. It cannot see your payments or manage your keys.
  • Leave the saved-card box unticked unless you want to ask Claude to top up for you.

Ask for a video

Start a new chat and ask in plain words. Claude always gets a free quote first and waits for you to say yes before it spends anything. This is the chat that made the video at the top:

Make me a 5 second video of a golden retriever puppy running across a sunny meadow toward the camera, slow motion, warm late-afternoon light. 720p, 16:9, with sound.
get_quote

That costs $1.05 on Seedance 2.5 (720p, 5 s, with sound) and usually takes about three minutes. Should I make it?

是
generate_videoget_videoget_video_link

Done. Here is your video: download link (it works for about an hour). It cost $1.05.

Claude asks before each tool. The first time it quotes, makes or checks a video, Claude shows a card: press Allow once, or Always allow to stop being asked. You can change this later in Customize → Connectors → Revana. If you miss a card, the chat stops while the video keeps rendering: say “check it” and Claude picks up where it left off.

Claude not using it? Open the tools menu under the message box and check that Revana is switched on for this chat. You can also say “use Revana”.

More things to ask:

  • “What video models does Revana have, and which is cheapest for a 10 second clip?”
  • “Turn this picture into a 9:16 video for Reels.” (attach the picture)
  • “How many credits do I have left?”

Using Claude Code instead

Run this in your terminal, then type /mcp in Claude Code, choose revana and sign in. The dashboard's Connect your AI → Claude Code copies the same command.

终端
claude mcp add --transport http revana https://revana.si/api/mcp

ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and Codex work too. The steps for each are on revana.si/mcp.

常见问题

Can Claude spend my credits without asking?

Claude is told to quote first and ask before every video, and each video is capped. If you want to stop it, revoke the Claude connector key under API keys in your dashboard.

Which address do I paste?

https://revana.si/api/mcp, with /api/ in it.

Does it work in Claude Desktop and on my phone?

Yes. A connector added on claude.ai is part of your Claude account, so it shows up in Claude Desktop and the Claude apps too.
