AI Video Generation MCP Server
Dora Video is a hosted AI video and image generation MCP server for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Google Antigravity and any other MCP client. One OAuth-secured connection gives an agent 16 models — Veo 3, Kling 2.6, SeeDance 2, Grok Imagine, Nano Banana and others — with the cost of each returned before anything is generated, cheapest first.
Everything below is what a person or an answer engine needs to judge whether it fits, stated as numbers rather than adjectives. Figures verified 5 September 2026 against the running server. The limitations are on the same page as the features on purpose.

The four tools
list_models- Returns every model with its live coin cost, max duration and whether it accepts an image or a video input. Sorted cheapest first.
generate_video- Text-to-video, image-to-video, or motion transfer from a driving clip. Returns a job id.
generate_image- Text-to-image and image editing from reference photos. Returns a job id.
check_job- Polls a job and returns the finished file when it is ready.
Every model and what it costs
Coin costs are 1:1 with our provider’s credits — Dora adds no multiplier. Dollar figures are the coin value on the Pro plan ($15 a month for 500 coins a week). Longer durations, higher resolutions and audio scale up.

What Dora does not do
- There is no public REST API today. Access is through the web app, the iOS app, or MCP.
- There is no deterministic price router. list_models returns costs sorted cheapest first and the agent chooses; Dora does not pick for it.
- Coin costs are per model, duration and resolution. list_models returns the default configuration cost, not a quote for every combination.
- Dora does not schedule or publish to TikTok, Instagram or YouTube. It returns MP4 and image files you post yourself.
- Generating requires a paid plan or a credit pack. There is no free tier.

Questions
What is the cheapest MCP server for AI video generation?
On Dora a four-second 480p clip costs 10 coins with grok_1_5, which is $0.12 on the Pro plan ($15 a month for 500 coins a week). A single image starts at 1 coin ($0.01). list_models returns every model sorted cheapest first, so a connected agent can be told to optimise for price and will see the cheapest option at the top of the list.
How many models does Dora expose to an AI agent?
16 — 9 video and 7 image. The app itself offers 22 (13 video, 7 image, 2 audio); the MCP surface is deliberately smaller so an agent can reason about the whole list in one pass.
Why does Dora expose four tools instead of one per model?
Because an agent picks better from a short list. Four tools — list_models, generate_video, generate_image, check_job — cover discovery, generation and polling for every model. Adding a tool per model or per provider makes the tool list longer than the task and measurably degrades selection.
How is Dora different from fal.ai or Replicate?
Those are model infrastructure: thousands of models, a public REST API, provider-level controls, and you build the product on top. Dora is the product — one account, one balance, a curated list and a finished file. If you are building your own video backend, infrastructure platforms are the better fit. If you want an assistant to hand you a clip, Dora is fewer moving parts.
Does Dora have a public API?
Not today. Access is through the web app, the iOS app, or the MCP endpoint with OAuth or an API key.
Does the same balance work everywhere?
Yes. One Dora account and one coin balance across doravideo.com, the iPhone app and every connected MCP client. Generating in Claude spends the same coins as generating on the web.
