UnrealUGC — MCP Server for Media & Images

UnrealUGC 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.

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`get_me`	Confirm the account, plan, and balance behind an API key
`get_credits`	Read subscription and purchased credit pools
`list_models`	Browse available video models and capabilities
`list_creators`	Browse stock creators and custom avatars
`list_voices`	Browse stock and custom voices
`list_projects`	Find product and campaign projects
`create_project`	Create a project for related generations
`list_videos`	Browse generation history with filters and pagination
`get_video`	Poll a generation and retrieve its output URL
`estimate_video_cost`	Estimate credits from the script before spending
`generate_video`	Start an asynchronous video generation

generate_video supports native or selected voices, silent reaction/b-roll clips, per-scene visual directions, and parallel or sequential multi-clip generation.

Generation flow

Call list_models and list_creators.
Call estimate_video_cost with the proposed script.
Check get_credits if budget matters.
Call generate_video.
Poll get_video about every 15 seconds, or use UnrealUGC webhooks for completion events.

Environment variables

Variable	Required	Default
`UNREALUGC_API_KEY`	Yes	—
`UNREALUGC_BASE_URL`	No	`https://unrealugc.com`
`UNREALUGC_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS`	No	`30000`

UNREALUGC_BASE_URL is intended for UnrealUGC development and staging environments.

Development

npm ci
npm run check
npm pack --dry-run
