AI agents (MCP) Cline
Motion Text in Cline
Add one server in Cline's MCP settings and the agent drafts real, editable videos.
Cline, the open-source agent for VS Code, has a built-in MCP server manager. Open the MCP Servers view, choose Configure, and add Motion Text under mcpServers with type: streamableHttp and the endpoint URL — Cline connects on save and the tools become available to the agent.
No account is needed to draft; the agent returns a link that opens the full Motion Text editor. Point Cline at the studio endpoint to work on your own projects and, on Pro, queue server renders.
Connect Cline
Open Cline → MCP Servers → Configure, and add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"motion-text": { "type": "streamableHttp", "url": "https://motiontext.video/mcp" }
}
}Cline stores servers in cline_mcp_settings.json, reachable via MCP Servers → Configure MCP Servers. Remote servers use type: streamableHttp with a url; Cline reconnects automatically when you save.
That's the anonymous endpoint — drafting only, no account. For the full toolset on your own projects (and, on Pro, 1080p/4K server renders), use the studio endpoint https://motiontext.video/mcp/studio and sign in when Cline prompts you. Details on the main MCP page.
Good to know
- Use
type: streamableHttpfor the hosted endpoint. - Toggle the server on in the MCP Servers list if tools don't appear.
- Cline shows each server's tools inline — handy for confirming the connection.
Questions
Where are Cline's MCP settings?
Open the MCP Servers icon in Cline, then Configure MCP Servers — it opens cline_mcp_settings.json.
What transport type do I use?
streamableHttp for Motion Text's hosted endpoint. Cline also supports stdio for local servers.
Does this work in Cursor too?
Cline runs as an extension in both VS Code and Cursor, so the same MCP settings apply. Cursor also has native MCP — see the Cursor guide.
