How to Connect an AI Video Generator to Claude or ChatGPT: What an MCP Connector Is and How to Start (2026)

An MCP connector is what gives your chat real tools. What that means in plain words, how to connect a video generator to Claude and ChatGPT with no API key, and what happens in your first conversation.

A chat like Claude or ChatGPT can think and write, and to make a video file it needs a tool. A connector is the link that gives it that tool. You connect once, and from then on you can ask in the chat for a video, a picture, a voice-over or a song, in plain words, and the file comes back to the same conversation. This guide explains what MCP is without the technical words, how to connect, and what to ask for the first time.

What MCP Is, in One Sentence

MCP is an open standard that lets a language model use outside tools in the middle of a conversation. Think of it as a socket: any tool built to the standard plugs into any chat that supports it. There is no code to write and nothing to install on your computer, because the tool runs in the cloud.

When you write "make me a 15-second video about my bakery", the chat understands the request, picks the right tool and runs it. You do not need to know which engine is running or how to write a professional prompt. You can also ask for a specific engine by name.

What You Need Before You Start

  • A Claude account on any plan, or ChatGPT
  • An account with the tool you connect. With us that is a Cadabra AI account, which you enter with Gmail
  • A credit pack in order to make things. Connecting is free, and so is seeing the prices

How to Connect to Claude

In Claude this is called a custom connector. The free plan can add one. On the Cadabra AI page press "Connect to Claude", and Claude opens the window with the name and address already filled in. Press Continue, sign in and approve. There is no API key to copy: you sign in on a normal login screen.

You can also do it by hand: in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, press Add and then Add custom connector, and paste the address https://mcp.livinginmovie.com/mcp

How to Connect to ChatGPT

In ChatGPT this is a plugin. Cadabra AI is in the plugin store, so press "Connect to ChatGPT" and then Install plugin. Sign in and approve. In a chat press the plus next to the message box, pick Cadabra AI and write what you want.

What Happens in Your First Conversation

You write a normal request. The chat shows what will run and what it costs, and nothing starts without your approval. Once you approve, the file comes back to the same conversation and is saved to your gallery. From there you can carry on in the same chat: shorten it, add captions, change the voice.

Make me a 15-second video about a neighbourhood bakery in the morning, vertical, with music and captions. Show me the plan and the price first

Worth knowing: Say the name Cadabra in your request. That way the chat knows to use the tool instead of trying to answer on its own.

What It Costs

Connecting is free. Making runs on credits from a one-time pack, and the smallest pack is $21. The price of every creation shows before it runs, and a creation that does not reach a result returns its credits by itself. The same account and balance work on the site, in Claude and in ChatGPT.
