Overview

Vidu MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed for interacting with the Vidu video generation API, enabling users to generate videos from images using advanced AI models.

To use the Vidu MCP Server, clone the repository, install the necessary dependencies, set up your Vidu API key in a .env file, build the TypeScript code, and start the server to accept connections from MCP clients.

Image to Video Conversion: Convert static images into videos with customizable settings. - Check Generation Status: Monitor the progress of video generation tasks. - Image Upload: Easily upload images for use with the Vidu API.

Generating promotional videos from product images.
Creating animated content for social media from static images.
Developing applications that require video generation from user-uploaded images.

Use these steps to connect Vidu MCP Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vidu-mcp-server-el-el-san": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-vidu-mcp-server-el-el-san"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vidu-mcp-server-el-el-san": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-vidu-mcp-server-el-el-san"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vidu-mcp-server-el-el-san": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-vidu-mcp-server-el-el-san"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "vidu-mcp-server-el-el-san": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-vidu-mcp-server-el-el-san"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vidu-mcp-server-el-el-san": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-vidu-mcp-server-el-el-san"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
