Configure Lumen5 MCP for Claude

What does the Lumen5 MCP do?


The Lumen5 MCP allows you to create videos directly from within Claude or Claude Code.


Start by having a regular conversation with Claude. For example, drafting a script for your video. Then, once you are happy with your script, tell Claude something like:


Ok, I like this script! Please convert it into a Lumen5 video.


Claude will ask you which workspace to put the video in, then submit your script to Lumen5.



Tip: If you have other instructions (eg. a specific template/blueprint/voice to use, more detail about the style of the video, etc), feel free to also include those in your message to Claude.


After a couple minutes, your video will be ready and Claude will reply with a link to it. From there, you can edit the video within Lumen5 as normal.



How to set it up


  1. Go to https://claude.ai/admin-settings/connectors to configure your organization’s Connectors within Claude
  2. Click “+ Add” → Custom → Web


  1. Fill in the name (Lumen5) and URL: https://lumen5.com/mcp. Then click “Continue”


  1. Claude will automatically detect all the capabilities of the server. You can leave these options set as-is. Just click “Add”



The set up is complete!



Testing


To test your Claude ↔ Lumen5 integration, open a new chat with Claude. If you click the “+” button under the Chat, then view your available Connectors, you should be able to Locate the Lumen5 Connector



Make sure that connector is turned on.


Now, ask Claude to create a video using Lumen5:


Please create a short 10-second test video in Lumen5


And you will see how it works!
