About Remocn: Remotion MCP server
Remocn provides a hosted, read-only MCP server for developers and agents creating Remotion videos. It helps locate components, consult their docs, plan storyboards, and view component previews without an account or API key.
Key features
- 01Search components by query, style, or frame length
- 02Retrieve component docs and install commands
- 03Generate beat-by-beat video storyboards
- 04Open live component preview links
Use cases
- 01Find a transition or title component for a video
- 02Check props and usage before adding a component
- 03Turn a video brief into a component-based storyboard
MCP support
The hosted MCP server at https://remocn.dev/mcp exposes component search, documentation, video planning, and preview tools to MCP clients. It is read-only and does not render videos.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

From the project README
Remocn
Remocn is a copy-paste component library for building videos in Remotion. Instead of writing every fade, wipe, and kinetic title from scratch, you npx shadcn add a polished primitive into your project and own the code. Built for solo builders and small teams who need a product demo video shipped today, not next week.
Rather direct the video than write it? Remocn Studio is a free, open-source macOS app where your own coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot or Grok) builds the video from Remocn components while you watch the live preview.
Why Remocn
Production-ready Remotion code: every component uses useCurrentFrame(), interpolate(), and spring() correctly. No Math.random() traps that break rendering. Own your code: components are copied into your project, not installed as a dependency. Tweak them however you like. Live previews: each component page mounts a real @remotion/player you can scrub frame-by-frame
Installation
Remotion is a prerequisite — set up a Remotion project first if you don't have one (npx create-video@latest). Then add any component from the registry:
npx shadcn@latest add @remocn/blur-reveal
Setup with AI
You need two things: an AI coding agent and an empty folder.
1. Get an agent. We recommend Claude Code, also works with ChatGPT, Opencode and others. 2. Open the agent in an empty folder and paste:
Set up a new Remotion video project in this folder, then install the remocn agent skill: npx skills add Remocn/remocn --yes. When you're done, start the preview studio so I can watch the video while we work
When a browser tab opens with an empty video player, you're ready. Pick a guide and make it yours.
Plugin for Claude Code and Codex
The remocn plugin bundles the skill with a /remocn:video workflow: brief → storyboard → install → compose → visual check → open in Remocn Studio.
/plugin install remocn --marketplace Remocn/remocn
In Codex: codex plugin marketplace add Remocn/remocn, then codex plugin add remocn@remocn.
Remotion MCP server (hosted)
Remocn runs a hosted MCP server for making videos with Remotion at https://remocn.dev/mcp. Add the URL to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any MCP client. There's no API key and no account.
| URL | https://remocn.dev/mcp |
| Transport | Streamable HTTP |
| Auth | None |
| Access | Read-only; it does not render video |
| License | MIT, free |
| Clients | Claude Code, Claude Desktop and claude.ai, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, any Streamable HTTP client |
Tools:
search_components: find Remocn components by query, vibe or length in framesget_component: one component's docs as Markdown: props, usage example, install commandplan_video: turn a brief into a beat-by-beat storyboard with component pickspreview_component: a live preview link, played inline in clients that support MCP Apps
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http remocn https://remocn.dev/mcp
Codex:
codex mcp add remocn --url https://remocn.dev/mcp
Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"remocn": { "url": "https://remocn.dev/mcp" }
}
}
Your agent installs what it picks with npx shadcn@latest add @remocn/<name>, and you render with Remotion as usual. The plugin above already includes the server. Setup for every client: MCP server docs.

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.
