Make Fabeo videos from Claude or ChatGPT
Connect your Fabeo account once, then ask your assistant to write, edit and render videos for you in plain language. It uses the same account, videos and credits as fabeo.ai.

https://mcp.fabeo.ai/mcp - Click Connect. A Fabeo page opens. Sign in, then click Allow (what you're allowing).

Custom connectors live in ChatGPT's developer mode, on the web.
- Turn on developer mode: Settings›Security and login›Developer mode. On Business, Enterprise or Edu, your workspace admin may need to allow it first.
- Go to Plugins and click + to create a developer-mode app.
- Name it Fabeo, add a short description (for example “Create and edit Fabeo videos”) and choose a Public endpoint connection with the server URL. If it asks how to authenticate, choose OAuth.
https://mcp.fabeo.ai/mcp - Create it, sign in to Fabeo on the page that opens, and click Allow.
- In a chat, click + in the message box, choose Developer mode and select Fabeo. It helps to name it in your request, for example “Use Fabeo to…”.
Claude Code, and other tools
In a terminal with Claude Code installed, add the server:
claude mcp add --transport http fabeo https://mcp.fabeo.ai/mcpThen start claude, type /mcp, choose fabeo and select Authenticate. Your browser opens the same Fabeo sign-in page.
Other apps that support remote MCP servers with OAuth, such as Cursor, connect the same way: add https://mcp.fabeo.ai/mcp as a server and sign in when prompted.
Signing in, and what you're allowing
What you can ask
Talk to it the way you'd brief an editor. Here's what happens behind the scenes, and where credits come in:
Rendering costs about 1 credit per second of finished video, so a 30-second video uses about 30. Your assistant should tell you the cost and wait for your OK before it renders. A render takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
Start a video
Say what it's for, who it's for, how long, and how it should end.
Make a 30-second vertical video introducing my running coaching for marathon beginners. Keep it warm and personal, like someone talking to the camera, and end with “DM me for marathon training plans.”
Create a 20-second product launch video for our new cold-brew can. Energetic, 9:16, and end on the tagline “Brewed slow. Gone fast.”
Show me your unboxing templates, then make one for my sneaker brand using the best fit.
Review and edit the script before rendering
Editing the script is free. Only rendering uses credits.
Show me the script scene by scene: what's said and what's on screen in each.
Change scene 3's line to “Whether it's your first race or a new personal best, I've got a plan for you.” and add a closing scene with a wave to the camera.
How many credits will this cost? If it's under 40, go ahead and render it.
Check progress and get the video
Is my running coach video done yet? Send me the link when it is.
List my five most recent videos with their status and links.
What's my Fabeo credit balance?
Fix a finished video
Only the scenes you change are re-rendered, and then the video is put back together.
In scene 2 the voice says “marathons” oddly and adds a word I didn't write. Fix the line and re-render just that scene.
In scenes 2 and 4 he's wearing a grey top. Make it the bright orange running singlet from the other scenes, then re-render those two.
Scene 1's opening shot feels flat. Try a different key frame for it.
Troubleshooting
“Your Fabeo account isn't fully set up yet”
Sign in once on fabeo.ai to finish creating your account, then connect again from your assistant.
The sign-in code email doesn't arrive
Check spam and promotions folders, and make sure it's the email address you use on fabeo.ai. Codes expire after a few minutes. Go back and request a new one if needed.
The assistant says it has reached its spending limit
Each connection can spend up to 150 credits. Disconnect Fabeo in your assistant's connector settings and connect again to start a new limit. Your account balance itself is separate. Top it up on fabeo.ai.
The assistant doesn't use Fabeo
In Claude, make sure Fabeo is switched on under + › Connectors for that chat. In ChatGPT, pick Fabeo under + › Developer mode. Mentioning it helps: “Use Fabeo to…”.
I can't find developer mode in ChatGPT
It's available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu. On a workspace plan, an admin may need to allow developer mode or custom connectors first.
The video isn't ready
Rendering takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Ask “Is my video done yet?”. While a scene is being redone, the link keeps showing the previous version until the new one is ready.
