MCP support
Exposes eleven typed tools to MCP clients through local stdio or hosted Streamable HTTP. Clients authenticate with an UnrealUGC API key.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEUnrealUGC MCP Server
The official Model Context Protocol server for UnrealUGC. It gives MCP-compatible assistants eleven typed tools for browsing creators and models, estimating credit cost, and generating AI UGC video ads.
This repository contains only the public MCP adapter. The UnrealUGC application and backend remain private.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 20 or newer
- An UnrealUGC API key from Dashboard → Settings → API Keys
API keys start with usk_live_ and should be stored in your MCP client's environment settings,
never committed to a repository.
Local stdio setup
You do not need to install the package globally. MCP clients can launch it with npx.
Claude Desktop
Add this server to your Claude Desktop configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"unrealugc": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@unrealugc/mcp"],
"env": {
"UNREALUGC_API_KEY": "usk_live_..."
}
}
}
}
Claude Code
claude mcp add unrealugc --env UNREALUGC_API_KEY=usk_live_... -- npx -y @unrealugc/mcp
Codex
[mcp_servers.unrealugc]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@unrealugc/mcp"]
[mcp_servers.unrealugc.env]
UNREALUGC_API_KEY = "usk_live_..."
Cursor, Windsurf, OpenClaw, and other stdio MCP clients use the same command and environment variable.
Hosted Streamable HTTP setup
Clients that support remote MCP can connect without running a local process:
URL: https://unrealugc.com/api/mcp
Authorization: Bearer usk_live_...
See the MCP setup guide for client-specific instructions.

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.
