Reel Estate Mcp

What is Reel Estate Mcp?

Reel Estate Mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and Claude Desktop to a Reel Estate account, enabling users to generate cinematic real-estate listing videos from photos using natural language.

How to use Reel Estate Mcp?

Run the server via npx -y reel-estate-mcp (or install globally with npm install -g reel-estate-mcp). Add the command to your MCP client's configuration (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop). On the first tool call, your browser opens for OAuth sign-in; tokens cache under ~/.reel-estate-mcp. Start with whoami to confirm authentication and plan status, then issue commands like "Create a project for 123 Main St and upload the photos in ./listing."

FAQ from Reel Estate Mcp

What are the requirements for running this server?

You need Node.js 18+, a Reel Estate account (free or paid), and an MCP-compatible client like Claude or Cursor.

How does authentication work?

There are no API keys. The server uses a public OAuth client with PKCE; the first tool call opens your browser for sign-in. Tokens are cached locally in ~/.reel-estate-mcp.

Do free accounts have full access?

No. Free accounts are read-only — they can browse projects, clips, and movies but cannot create, generate, or render. A paid plan is required for write operations; blocked writes return a 403 error.

Where are my session tokens stored?

Tokens are cached in the directory ~/.reel-estate-mcp. To switch accounts or re-authorize, run the logout tool (which revokes server-side) or delete that directory.

How do I add new tools?

All backend functionality is already available through the api_request escape hatch. To create a convenience tool, add a function in src/tools.ts, register it with a Zod schema in src/index.ts, and run the server.
