The short version
- One addresshttps://app.imanginable.com/mcp/chat — paste it where the assistant takes connectors.
- Sign in with GoogleThe studio's own Allow page; the assistant never sees a password.
- Renders cost the sameYour workspace does the work; the assistant asks before spending.
- End it any timeRevoke the connection under API tokens on your account page.
01What you can ask for
Once connected, the assistant can do what the studio does: write a script for a subject, cast your saved characters, render the film, fix one scene without re-rendering the rest, plan a film as a storyboard before spending anything, re-score or recut a finished video, and publish it to your YouTube channel. Renders still run on your own workspace and cost the same credits they would from the studio; the assistant always shows you the scene list and asks before queueing one.
Try: “What videos have I made this month?” · “Make a 40-second explainer on how sourdough starters work, with Sarah presenting.” · “Storyboard a two-minute documentary about lighthouse keepers, don't render yet.” · “Scene 4's picture is wrong — redraw it without the umbrella.” · “Publish the volcano video to YouTube.”
02Claude
Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise — set up on claude.ai, then it works in the desktop and mobile apps too.
https://app.imanginable.com/mcp/chat
- claude.ai → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Name: Imanginable. URL: the address. Add.
- Press Connect on the new card: the studio's Allow page opens — sign in with Google and allow.
- That is all. In any chat, ask for a video; Claude calls the studio itself and asks before anything that spends.
03ChatGPT
Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise (a workspace admin may have to allow Developer mode first); set up on web or desktop, then it works on mobile.
https://app.imanginable.com/mcp/chat
- Settings → Security and login → Developer mode → switch it on. (Older builds: at the foot of Connectors → Advanced.)
- Settings → Plugins → the + at the top right (New Plugin). Name: Imanginable. Connection: Server URL, the address. Authentication: OAuth. Tick "I understand", Create. Sign in with Google and allow when the studio opens.
- That is all. In any chat, ask for a video; ChatGPT calls the studio itself and asks before anything that spends.
04Gemini
Personal Google account, 18 or over, in the US, with Keep Activity on — connect on the web, then it works in the mobile app too.
https://app.imanginable.com/mcp/chat
- gemini.google.com → Settings → Connected apps → under Custom apps, Add a custom app. Paste the address (leave Advanced features alone — the studio registers itself), Next.
- Follow it to the studio's Allow page: sign in with Google and allow.
- In a chat, ask for a video — Gemini offers Imanginable when it fits. From a terminal instead: gemini mcp add --transport http imanginable https://app.imanginable.com/mcp/chat, then /mcp auth imanginable.
05Coding assistants and IDEs
Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Antigravity and other MCP clients with a shell can carry the studio's full set of tools — scene surgery, layers, analytics, comments — from the plain address:
https://app.imanginable.com/mcp
Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http imanginable https://app.imanginable.com/mcp. Everything else takes the address in its MCP settings; the first use opens the studio's Allow page. A client that can only launch a command uses the Imanginable agent once it is installed: imanginable mcp — no address and no token to copy.
06Your own pictures and recordings
A chat window has no files of its own: a picture you attach to the chat, or one the assistant draws there, never reaches the studio. So the studio brings its own doors into the chat. Ask to upload a file and a small picker opens right in the conversation (ChatGPT and Claude): choose your face, your dog, a product, a start frame or a recording of your voice, and it lands in your workspace with the id the assistant needs. And whenever the assistant looks at a picture — a cast member, a frame, a storyboard — the same picture is shown to you in the chat, full size, never redrawn. Where a picker cannot show, a link works too — a Google Drive or Dropbox share link set to “anyone with the link”, or any picture on the web. From Claude Code, an IDE or the Imanginable agent, a plain path on your computer works as well.
07Signing in and signing out
Connecting opens the studio's Allow page in your browser: sign in with Google, read what the assistant will be able to do, and allow. No password or key is typed into the assistant. The connection then appears under API tokens on your account page, named after the assistant; revoke it there to sign that assistant out immediately. A chat assistant's key renews itself every day and is retired the moment you revoke it.
A connection works while your plan is active. If your workspace lives on your own computer, the studio has to be running there — the assistant tells you when it is not.
