Add Framehood to Claude.ai

Framehood plugs straight into Claude — the image, video, audio, qa and files tools appear right inside your chats, so you can ask Claude to make a poster, cut a clip, or add a voiceover and it calls Framehood for you. There are two ways to add it: the plugin (recommended) or a plain custom connector.

Either way there's no API key to copy — sign-in is through your browser (OAuth).

Video walkthrough

A short screen recording that installs Framehood and gets it working in Claude:

Installing the Framehood plugin in Claude (2:15)

Install the plugin (recommended)

The best way to use Framehood with Claude is the Framehood plugin — it works everywhere Claude does: the web, the desktop app, and your phone. The plugin bundles the connection plus skills that teach Claude the whole toolset, the per-model prompting best-practices, and video-montage craft, so generation works natively with nothing to wire up.

Install it as shown in the video above — the marketplace address to add is:

Framehood/framehood-plugin

It's completely safe: the plugin is open source, so you can read exactly what it ships. Prefer the terminal? The two install commands for Claude Code are on the Claude Code page.

Don't forget to authorize after installing. Connect Framehood and sign in with your account when Claude prompts (in Claude Code, run /mcp → framehood → Authenticate). Until you do, the tools stay locked.

Prefer the lightest setup? You can add just the connector below instead — it pulls in no extra resources, though we still recommend the plugin.

Tips for working with Framehood in Claude

Framehood is a tool — and you're teaching your Claude to use it well. Your Claude is what holds the knowledge and your preferences, so a little guidance goes a long way.

• Pick a specific model. By default Framehood chooses a model for each job. Want a particular one? Ask Claude to list the available models, then tell it explicitly which to use — it can pass any parameters that model supports.
• Teach Claude your style. Framehood already knows the basics of editing and montage — cuts, pacing, continuity. But you can teach your Claude the approaches that suit you: just ask it to remember how you like to work, and it keeps that for next time.
• Ask to see the intermediate steps. Claude aims to hand you a finished clip in one go. If you'd rather review each stage, ask it to show every intermediate result.
• Keep it current. Framehood is under active development, so the resources in the plugin — and the models themselves — keep improving. Ask Claude to check for updates to the plugin and the connector from time to time.
• Send feedback. Any errors surface right in your chat. Want to flag a bug or suggest something to the team? Just ask Claude to send feedback — it delivers your message to the developers without you leaving the chat.

Turn on memory

For Claude to remember your preferences and reference earlier chats, enable memory and search across chats in Claude's settings.

Add the connector (Pro, Max, Free)

For an individual account:

1. Open Settings → Customize → Connectors.
2. Click +, then Add custom connector.
3. In Remote MCP server URL, paste https://mcp.framehood.ai/mcp.
4. Leave Advanced settings (OAuth Client ID / Secret) empty — Framehood registers your client automatically. Click Add.
5. The Framehood connector appears. Click Connect and approve the sign-in in the browser tab that opens.

Plans

Custom connectors work on Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise. Free accounts are limited to one custom connector.

Add the connector (Team / Enterprise)

An owner adds it once for the organization, then each member connects:

Owner — configure it:

1. Go to Settings → Organization settings → Connectors.
2. Click Add, hover Custom, and choose Web.
3. Paste https://mcp.framehood.ai/mcp (leave the Advanced OAuth fields empty).
4. Click Add.

Each member — connect it:

1. Open Settings → Customize → Connectors.
2. Find Framehood (marked Custom) and click Connect.
3. Approve the browser sign-in.

After connecting

• Every call is billed to the same account and credits as the CLI, REST API and the Console. See Credits & plans.
• Not seeing the tools? Make sure the connector shows Connected and is toggled on for that chat.

Troubleshooting

The tools don't appear in a chat. The connector isn't on for that conversation. Click + next to the message box → Connectors and toggle Framehood on; make sure it shows Connected in Settings → Connectors.

It keeps asking you to sign in, or a sign-in loop. Re-connect: Settings → Connectors → Framehood → Connect, and finish the browser sign-in fully. There's no API key — it's all OAuth.

The sign-in tab never opens. Your browser blocked the pop-up. Allow pop-ups for claude.ai and click Connect again.

"You can only add one custom connector." Free accounts allow a single custom connector — remove another one or upgrade your plan.

"Insufficient credits" or a job is refused. You're out of credits. Top up or check your plan in the Console — see Credits & plans.

A video job looks stuck. Long jobs take minutes and Claude polls them — just ask "check the status" for progress.

Installing the plugin instead? See the Claude Code troubleshooting for /mcp and /plugin fixes.

Notes

• No API key. Authentication is OAuth 2.1 (PKCE + Dynamic Client Registration); the token is scoped to mcp.framehood.ai.
• Public reachability. Claude connects from Anthropic's cloud, not your device — Framehood is on the public internet, so it just works.
• Prefer the terminal or an editor instead? See the MCP server guide for Claude Code, Cursor, and generic clients, or the Claude Code plugin which bundles this server.
