Prerequisites
- uv (recommended) or pip
- A ReelFarm account on the Growth, Scale, or Enterprise plan
- A ReelFarm API key — get yours from Dashboard → Settings → API Keys
Quick Start
Add this to your MCP client's config file (replace rf_your_api_key_here with your actual key):
{
"mcpServers": {
"reelfarm": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["reelfarm-mcp"],
"env": {
"REELFARM_API_KEY": "rf_your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
That's it. The config is the same for every client — the only difference is where the file lives.
Config file locations
| Client | Config file | How to open |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Desktop | ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) · %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows) |
Claude → Settings → Developer → Edit Config |
| Cursor | .cursor/mcp.json in your project root |
Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server |
| Windsurf | ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json |
Windsurf Settings → Cascade → MCP → Add Server → Add custom server |
| VS Code (Copilot) | .vscode/mcp.json |
Edit directly (uses "servers" instead of "mcpServers" — see below) |
VS Code note: VS Code uses a
"servers"key instead of"mcpServers":{ "servers": { "reelfarm": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["reelfarm-mcp"], "env": { "REELFARM_API_KEY": "rf_your_api_key_here" } } } }
Claude Code (CLI)
claude mcp add reelfarm \
-e REELFARM_API_KEY=rf_your_api_key_here \
-- uvx reelfarm-mcp
Verify it's registered:
claude mcp list
Any other MCP client (generic stdio)
The server communicates over stdio. Point your MCP client at:
REELFARM_API_KEY=rf_your_api_key_here uvx reelfarm-mcp
Installation (alternative to uvx)
If you prefer installing the package directly rather than using uvx:
pip install reelfarm-mcp
Then use "command": "reelfarm-mcp" (no args) in any of the configs above instead of uvx.
Using a local clone
If you're developing or want to run from source:
{
"mcpServers": {
"reelfarm": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"run",
"--directory", "/absolute/path/to/reelfarm-mcp",
"reelfarm-mcp"
],
"env": {
"REELFARM_API_KEY": "rf_your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Or via Claude Code CLI:
claude mcp add reelfarm \
-e REELFARM_API_KEY=rf_your_api_key_here \
-- uv run --directory /absolute/path/to/reelfarm-mcp reelfarm-mcp
Usage Examples
Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant things like:
- "Generate a slideshow about 5 morning habits, casual tone, 6 slides"
- "List my automations and show which ones are active"
- "Create an automation that posts fitness slideshows to TikTok every day at 2pm Pacific"
- "Show me my TikTok post analytics for the last 30 days sorted by views"
- "Search Pinterest for aesthetic coffee images"
- "What niches are available in the slideshow library?"
- "How many credits do I have left?"
API Rate Limits
- 20 requests per 60-second sliding window
- Max 3 slideshows generating simultaneously
Development
git clone https://github.com/reelfarm/reelfarm-mcp.git
cd reelfarm-mcp
uv sync
# Run the server locally
REELFARM_API_KEY=rf_your_key uv run reelfarm-mcp
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
uvx: command not found |
Install uv: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh |
| Tools don't appear after config change | Restart the app (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) |
REELFARM_API_KEY is not set |
Double-check the env block in your config — the key must start with rf_ |
FastMCP.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument |
Your mcp SDK is outdated or too new. Run uv sync to get compatible versions |
| Server seems to hang when run directly | This is normal — MCP servers communicate over stdio and produce no terminal output. Your MCP client launches it automatically |
