MCP support
The remote MCP server exposes tools for discovery, media upload and search, visual generation, rendering, and webhook management. Discovery is unauthenticated; generation and account-related tools require a Compeller API token.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Public documentation and metadata for the hosted Compeller MCP server.
Compeller turns music into performance-ready visuals. Agents can discover styles and pricing, search for music, create and track Compels, start renders, retrieve finished videos, and register signed webhooks for completion events.
This repository contains public connector documentation and metadata only. The production Compeller application source code is not published here.
Remote MCP endpoint
https://compeller.ai/api/mcp
- Namespace:
ai.compeller/compel - Server:
compeller-mcp - Version:
0.5.0 - Transport: Streamable HTTP JSON-RPC over HTTPS
- Official MCP Registry: https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0.1/servers?search=ai.compeller%2Fcompel
- Smithery: https://smithery.ai/servers/info-nijd/compeller
Quick config
Most MCP clients that support remote Streamable HTTP servers can use:
{
"mcpServers": {
"compeller": {
"url": "https://compeller.ai/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_COMPELLER_API_TOKEN"
}
}
}
}
If your MCP client stores raw token values without the Bearer prefix, use the alternate header:
{
"mcpServers": {
"compeller": {
"url": "https://compeller.ai/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-API-Token": "YOUR_COMPELLER_API_TOKEN"
}
}
}
}
Discovery works without authentication. Generation, account, media, rendering, and webhook tools require a Compeller API token.

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.
