MCP Video Generation with Veo2

This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Google’s Veo2 video generation capabilities. It allows clients to generate videos from text prompts or images, and access the generated videos through MCP resources.

Features

• Generate videos from text prompts
• Generate videos from images
• Access generated videos through MCP resources
• Example video generation templates
• Support for both stdio and SSE transports

Example Images

Example Image to Video

Image to Video - from Grok generated puppy

Image to Video - from real cat

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or higher
• Google API key with access to Gemini API and Veo2 model (= You need to set up a credit card with your API key! -> Go to aistudio.google.com )

Installation

Installing in FLUJO

Installing via Smithery

To install mcp-video-generation-veo2 for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @mario-andreschak/mcp-veo2 --client claude

Manual Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-video-generation-veo2.git
   cd mcp-video-generation-veo2
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Create a .env file with your Google API key:

   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env and add your Google API key
   

   The .env file supports the following variables:

   • GOOGLE_API_KEY: Your Google API key (required)
   • PORT: Server port (default: 3000)
   • STORAGE_DIR: Directory for storing generated videos (default: ./generated-videos)
   • LOG_LEVEL: Logging level (default: fatal)
     • Available levels: verbose, debug, info, warn, error, fatal, none
     • For development, set to debug or info for more detailed logs
     • For production, keep as fatal to minimize console output

4. Build the project:

   npm run build
   

Usage

Starting the Server

You can start the server with either stdio or SSE transport:

stdio Transport (Default)

npm start
# or
npm start stdio

SSE Transport

npm start sse

This will start the server on port 3000 (or the port specified in your .env file).

MCP Tools

The server exposes the following MCP tools:

generateVideoFromText

Generates a video from a text prompt.

Parameters:

• prompt (string): The text prompt for video generation
• config (object, optional): Configuration options
  • aspectRatio (string, optional): “16:9” or “9:16”
  • personGeneration (string, optional): “dont_allow” or “allow_adult”
  • numberOfVideos (number, optional): 1 or 2
  • durationSeconds (number, optional): Between 5 and 8
  • enhancePrompt (boolean, optional): Whether to enhance the prompt
  • negativePrompt (string, optional): Text describing what not to generate

Example:

{
  "prompt": "Panning wide shot of a serene forest with sunlight filtering through the trees, cinematic quality",
  "config": {
    "aspectRatio": "16:9",
    "personGeneration": "dont_allow",
    "durationSeconds": 8
  }
}

generateVideoFromImage

Generates a video from an image.

Parameters:

• image (string): Base64-encoded image data
• prompt (string, optional): Text prompt to guide the video generation
• config (object, optional): Configuration options (same as above, but personGeneration only supports “dont_allow”)

listGeneratedVideos

Lists all generated videos.

MCP Resources

The server exposes the following MCP resources:

videos://{id}

Access a generated video by its ID.

videos://templates

Access example video generation templates.
