• HTTP/SSE transport support (remote MCP server at https://mcp.invideo.io/sse)
• Internet connection (remote Invideo API access required)
• Understanding of video rendering/processing times (varies by video length, quality, and account tier)
• Understanding of storage limits (varies by account tier - check account settings for current limits)
• Understanding of export quotas (varies by account tier - check account settings for monthly export limits)
• Understanding of supported media formats (MP4, MOV for video; JPG, PNG for images; check documentation for full list)
• Claude Desktop 0.7.0+ or Claude Code with MCP support
• Understanding of video creation concepts (rendering, templates, voiceovers, subtitles, export formats, aspect ratios)

Create Video from Template

Create a new InVideo video from a template with custom script and media

// Create InVideo video from template
const video = await invideo.videos.create({
  template_id: "template-id",
  script: "Your video script text here",
  media: [
    {
      type: "image",
      url: "https://example.com/image.jpg",
    },
  ],
});

Security

• OAuth authentication or API key for secure account access
• Respect copyright for media assets (use licensed or royalty-free content)
• Monitor storage usage limits to avoid service disruption
• Check export quota restrictions based on account tier
• Verify media file sources and licensing before use in videos
• InVideo API keys and access tokens must be securely stored and never exposed in client-side code or public repositories - use environment variables and secure credential management
• InVideo OAuth access tokens should be used for third-party integrations to ensure proper access control, token lifecycle management, and automatic token refresh
• InVideo video IDs and project identifiers may expose content structure and media assets - ensure InVideo resource identifiers are kept private and not shared in public configurations
• Rate limiting and API quota management are critical for InVideo MCP servers - implement proper rate limit handling, retry logic, and quota monitoring to prevent service disruption
• InVideo webhook configurations and payloads may contain sensitive video metadata and media information - ensure webhook endpoints are properly secured with authentication and HTTPS encryption

Troubleshooting

Authentication error: could not authenticate user

Verify OAuth credentials are valid in Invideo account settings. For API key authentication, ensure the key is copied correctly and hasn't expired. Check username and password are correct if using basic auth. Ensure account isn't locked or suspended. Re-authenticate if needed or regenerate API key from account settings.

Video export or rendering queue taking too long

Check rendering queue status in Invideo dashboard. Large videos, high resolution, or complex effects take longer to process. Verify your account tier supports requested video length and quality settings. Free tier may have longer processing times. Contact support if queue appears stuck or exceeds expected processing time for your video specifications.

Storage limit exceeded when uploading media

Check storage usage in Invideo account settings. Delete unused videos, templates, or media assets to free space. Upgrade account tier for higher storage limits. Compress media files before upload to save space. Consider using external storage or linking to media instead of uploading when possible.

Unsupported media format error on upload

Verify media files are in supported formats: MP4, MOV for video; JPG, PNG, WEBP for images. Audio formats typically include MP3, WAV. Convert unsupported formats using video converter tools before uploading. Check file isn't corrupted and file size doesn't exceed account tier limits. Review Invideo documentation for complete list of supported formats.

InVideo MCP server authentication errors with API keys

Verify API key is valid and not expired. Check API key permissions match required operations. Ensure API key format is correct (Bearer token in Authorization header). For OAuth integrations, verify token refresh logic is working correctly.

InVideo rate limit errors when processing multiple video requests

Implement exponential backoff retry logic with jitter. Use InVideo API rate limit headers to monitor usage. Reduce concurrent requests. Cache frequently accessed template data. Check InVideo documentation for specific rate limits.

InVideo video creation or rendering failures

Check video file size limits and template availability. Verify account permissions allow video creation. Ensure network connectivity is stable. For large videos, use chunked upload API with resumable upload support.

InVideo MCP server connection timeouts or network errors

Check network connectivity and firewall settings. Verify InVideo API endpoints are accessible. Increase request timeout values. Implement connection pooling and retry mechanisms with exponential backoff.
