On a Claude Team or Enterprise plan

You'll need to ask your workspace admin to add Runway with the name Runway and the URL https://mcp.runwayml.com/mcp. Once it's added, follow Anthropic's steps for Team and Enterprise plans to connect and sign in to your Runway account.

On a personal plan

1. Go to https://claude.ai/, or open the desktop app. Tip: this link takes you straight to the add connector window, skipping steps 2 and 3: claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector.
2. Select Customize in the sidebar, and choose Connectors.

   

3. Select Add in the top right corner.

   

4. Enter Runway as the name, paste the link https://mcp.runwayml.com/mcp, and select Continue.

   

5. Select Connect, and Sign in to your Runway account. You should see Runway listed under your Connectors.

1. Go to https://chatgpt.com/plugins and search for Runway. You can also open the Runway plugin page directly.
2. Select Install Plugin, then Sign in with Runway to connect your Runway account.
3. Mention @Runway in any chat and describe the image or video you want. Attach a reference image if you have one.

1. Download and install Grok Bot from x.ai if you don't have it yet.
2. Select Marketplace at the bottom of the sidebar. With Plugins selected, search for Runway and select Add. You can also open Runway for Grok Bot and select Add to Grok Bot.
3. Select Authenticate and sign in with your Runway account.
4. Ask your bot for an image or video. It picks the right Runway tool for the request, or you can name a model.

Setup

1. In the Cursor chat, type /add-plugin, search for Runway and install it. You can also open Runway in the Cursor Marketplace and select Add to Cursor.
2. Press Cmd+Shift+J (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+J (Windows) to open Settings, then select Tools & MCPs. You should see runway listed.
3. Select Connect, and Sign in to your Runway account.
4. Approve access and you'll be redirected back to Cursor. You should now see the available Runway tools under Tools & MCPs.

Manual setup

If your team manages MCP servers in a config file, you can add Runway without the plugin:

1. Open Settings, select Tools & MCPs and click + new MCP server. This opens ~/.cursor/mcp.json.

2. Paste or merge the following into your mcpServers:

   "Runway": {
     "url": "https://mcp.runwayml.com/mcp"
   }

3. Save the file, then select Connect next to runway and Sign in to your Runway account.

Troubleshooting

• If Runway is not connecting, press Cmd+Shift+U (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+U (Windows) to open MCP Logs for the error.
• If you need to re-auth, open Tools & MCPs and click the refresh icon next to runway.

1. Go to https://replit.com/.
2. Select Integrations and choose Add MCP Server.

   

3. Name the server Runway and paste in the link https://mcp.runwayml.com/mcp.

   

4. Select Trust and Save, and click Authorize Server to sign in with your Runway account.

   

Runway MCP currently only supports Streamable HTTP, not SSE or stdio. Trying to use SSE connections will return a 405 error. If your client settings let you set the transport type, choose HTTP or Streamable HTTP.

Any LLM or agent that supports MCP will work — including Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Replit. Using a different tool? Review its documentation to see if it supports MCP.

Runway MCP only supports generating with credits. Explore Mode generations are not supported when using this connection.

Your agent can use models like Seedance 2.0, Kling, Gen-4.5, Veo, GPT image 2, Nano Banana Pro and more based on your Runway account plan. It can pick a model for you, or you can ask for a specific one.

MCP uses your Runway credits, just like the Runway app. Credits are consumed the same way they are in the web app — each video or image you generate through MCP draws from your account's credit balance. The cost depends on the model, resolution, and other settings — see our credits guide for more details.

You don't need an API key. Just add the Runway MCP URL to your agent settings. Then sign in with your Runway app account.
