Tegas AI

Tegas AI MCP Server

Tegas AI is video production for marketing and social media: it turns an idea into a finished video. An agent writes a scenario with Tessa (our scenario model), optionally attaches reference images of your product or characters, generates a 5–60 second video with voice-over, subtitles and music, and can then edit the result — scenes, voice, subtitles, music, volumes — and rebuild it.

Tegas runs a hosted remote MCP server, so there is nothing to install or self-host:

https://api.tegas.ai/mcp

• Transport: Streamable HTTP (stateless)
• Auth: Authorization: Bearer tg_live_...
• Russian mirror: https://api.tegasai.ru

This repository holds the public metadata and documentation for the Tegas MCP server (server.json, install instructions, issue tracker). The server implementation itself is closed source.

Prerequisites

1. A Tegas account — sign up at tegas.ai (RU: tegasai.ru).
2. An active paid plan. Video rendering and hero sheets spend tokens, and the paid tools refuse to run without an active plan.
3. An API key: in the Tegas cabinet go to Settings → API → Create key. The key looks like tg_live_.... Treat it like a password.

Install

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http tegas https://api.tegas.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer tg_live_..."

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (per project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tegas": {
      "url": "https://api.tegas.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer tg_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace (this keeps the key out of the file by prompting for it once and storing it in VS Code's secret storage):

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "id": "tegas-key",
      "type": "promptString",
      "description": "Tegas API key (tg_live_...)",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "tegas": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.tegas.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:tegas-key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude.ai custom connector

Tegas is not (yet) in the Claude connectors directory, so add it as a custom connector:

1. Open Settings → Connectors on claude.ai.
2. Choose Add custom connector.
3. URL: https://api.tegas.ai/mcp.
4. Under advanced settings, add the header Authorization with the value Bearer tg_live_....

Custom connectors are available on paid Claude plans. See Anthropic's guide to custom connectors.

Tools

12 tools. Only two of them ever spend tokens.

Tool	Cost	What it does
tegas_account	free	balance, plan, limits, price per second of video by quality
tegas_voices	free	available voices for a language
tegas_upload_reference	free	uploads one image, returns a reference_id
tegas_upload_music	free	uploads one track, returns a url for tegas_edit_video
tegas_write_scenario	free	Tessa writes a scenario from an idea
tegas_find_heroes	free	brief of characters / hero product, with the price per sheet
tegas_draw_heroes	tokens	draws hero sheets — requires confirm=true
tegas_start_video	tokens	starts the render — requires confirm=true
tegas_video_status	free	status of one video
tegas_wait_video	free	polls every 10 s until completed / failed / timeout
tegas_list_videos	free	recent videos
tegas_edit_video	free	edits scenes / voice / subtitles / music / volumes and rebuilds the video

Paid tools never spend tokens on the first call. With confirm=false (the default) they return the price and wait for your consent; only a second call with confirm=true charges. Every render carries an Idempotency-Key, so retrying after a timeout never charges twice. A failed render is refunded.

Current prices are always live from tegas_account — check there rather than trusting any number written down here.

Example

Make a 15-second vertical video about a cozy coffee shop in Russian, 720p. Show me the scenario and the price first.

Privacy and data

• The prompts, ideas, reference images and music you pass to the tools are sent to Tegas servers to generate and store your videos, and are associated with the account that owns the API key.
• Reference images on the hosted connector must be passed as base64 — the connector cannot read files from your machine (file_path works only on local/self-hosted runs with MCP_ALLOW_LOCAL_FILES=true).
• Your API key identifies and bills your account. Do not paste it into shared configs or commit it to a repository.
• Full details: Tegas Privacy Policy (RU: tegasai.ru/privacy-policy) and the terms of offer.

Docs and support

• Documentation: docs.tegas.ai
• Agent-oriented quick reference: docs.tegas.ai/quickstart.md (also served to agents as the MCP resource tegas://quickstart)
• OpenAPI schema: api.tegas.ai/v1/openapi.json
• Bugs in this metadata or in the MCP server: open an issue
