Runway Brings Frontier Video Generation Directly Into Claude and Cursor Agents

Runway, an AI creative platform for video generation and world simulation, launched an official MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. This standardized connector allows users to plug Runway’s model library directly into compatible agents like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Replit.

This release mirrors the Higgsfield MCP launch as video labs increasingly move their models into third-party agent environments. By moving generation capabilities into the IDE or chat interface, Runway shifts from a destination website to a modular capability. It enables agents to autonomously ideate and execute production tasks.

You can now generate video from a product URL or create dialogue-driven ads using models like Gen-4.5 and Kling 3.0 without leaving your conversation. To start, add the Runway MCP URL to your agent's settings and sign in. Generations use your existing Runway credits and are saved to your account library.

Still wondering? A few quick answers below.

Runway MCP is an official server built on the Model Context Protocol that connects Runway's creative tools directly to AI agents. It allows users to generate high-quality images and videos within third-party applications like Claude and ChatGPT by treating Runway's generation capabilities as native tools inside the conversation.

You can use the Runway MCP in any application that supports the Model Context Protocol. This includes the Claude desktop app and web interface, ChatGPT, the Cursor code editor, and the Replit development environment. Users simply add the Runway connector URL to their agent settings to enable these features.

The MCP provides access to Runway's latest state-of-the-art models, including Gen-4.5, Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0, and Veo 3.1. Depending on your specific Runway account plan, you can ask your agent to use a specific model for a task or let the agent automatically select the best one.

Generations made through the MCP are billed using your existing Runway credits, following the same rates as the standard Runway web application. The specific cost per generation depends on the model you choose, the resolution, and other settings. You can manage your billing and credits through your Runway account.

No API key is required to set up the connection. Instead of managing keys, you add the official Runway MCP link to your agent's custom connector settings and then sign in directly with your Runway account credentials. This links the agent's actions to your existing library and credit balance.
