From the project READMEGhostViral MCP
A remote Model Context Protocol server that lets an AI agent make a finished faceless video on a GhostViral AI account: script, licensed stock footage, voiceover, captions, sound and an MP4.

How an agent uses it
The agent makes every creative choice; the tools carry them out.
set_script: the agent's script (or one written on request), with sources for factual topicssearch_stock: licensed clips and photos for each scene, with thumbnail previews to inspectset_timeline: the picks, one scene per sentence, with a pacing checkestimate_credits, thensynthesize_voice(credits are charged here, once per video)set_captions, optionalset_motion,search_sounds,set_audio,review_audiostart_render, thenpoll_renderandget_download_url
start_render returns a command that encodes the MP4 on the agent's machine with FFmpeg. When the agent cannot run commands, renderMode: "server" renders Shorts up to 60 seconds on GhostViral's server instead. After an agent render, poll_render reports a check of the file: length, size, loudness, and black or frozen stretches.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
