Spimov MCP server — dub videos via Claude Desktop / Claude Code / any MCP client

spimov-mcp

MCP server for Spimov — dub videos via Claude Desktop / Claude Code / any MCP client.

Two transports:

• stdio — runs locally, spawned by your MCP client, authenticated with SPIMOV_API_KEY env var. Supports local file upload (create_dub).
• HTTP — long-lived server (we host at mcp.spimov.com), authenticated per-request with Authorization: Bearer spk_live_... (or ?api_key=). Exposes both Streamable HTTP (/mcp, current spec) and legacy SSE (/sse). URL-only — no local file upload.

Both transports are thin wrappers over the public REST API at https://spimov.com/api/v1. The same API key, the same daily request quota.

---

1. Get an API key

Sign in at https://spimov.com → Settings → API keys → Create new key. Copy the spk_live_... token shown once.

2a. Use via stdio (Claude Desktop)

Install:

pip install spimov-mcp

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spimov": {
      "command": "spimov-mcp",
      "env": {
        "SPIMOV_API_KEY": "spk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The "spimov" MCP server should appear; ask Claude to "dub /Users/me/Movies/clip.mp4 into Turkish using Spimov".

2b. Use via HTTP (Claude Code / Claude web / other clients)

Self-hosted: MCP_PORT=8001 spimov-mcp-http. Hosted endpoints:

• Streamable HTTP (recommended): https://mcp.spimov.com/mcp
• Legacy SSE: https://mcp.spimov.com/sse

Claude Code / config-file clients (header auth):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spimov": {
      "url": "https://mcp.spimov.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer spk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude web (claude.ai → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector): the UI only takes a URL, so put the key in the query string:

https://mcp.spimov.com/mcp?api_key=spk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The key travels in the URL (stored in your connector config). Treat it like a password and rotate it from Settings → API keys if it leaks. Local file tools (create_dub, download_video) are unavailable here — use dub_youtube to dub, and get_download_url to get a clickable browser download link for the finished MP4.

3. Tools
