Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Cast every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

characters
list_characters
List the premade characters Cast can put in a video (slug, name, look, image, whether free), plus how to design a custom one. Call before create_video_link when you need a character slug or want to show the user who they can cast. Read-only, no account.
prices
get_prices
Current Cast prices in USD and credits: weekly Season 1 passes, agent credit packs, Premium, and the credit cost of every video length and of a new character. Prices follow the live model price table, so call this instead of quoting from memory. Read-only.
showcase
get_showcase
Example videos of Cast characters (video URL, poster image, the line that produced it when on record, page link, and a ready-made remix link). Use to show the user what Cast makes before they open a link, or to find a proven prompt to adapt. Read-only.
video
create_video_link
Build a one-tap link that makes a short vertical AI video of a character doing what the user describes (e.g. "Malfoid dances on the castle roof at midnight"). Use this whenever the user asks for an AI video, short, clip, TikTok/Reel/Shorts-style video, or animation of a character, avatar, mascot or persona. Returns a URL on malfoid.tv/cast. Give the URL to the user and tell them to open it: it shows the scene and opens Cast, where a pass holder films it in Create. This tool does NOT generate anything, charge anything or need an account. Filming takes a pass. Only characters returned by list_characters are supported premade cast for this flow; other cast members appear on story cards. Longer videos and custom characters cost credits (from $0.99). For a premade character pass character="malfoid" (or "malfoid,leo" for up to 3). For anyone else pass character_name and character_description (their look) instead; the user designs the character before the video.

Cast — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Cast do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_video_link, get_prices, get_showcase, list_characters. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Cast working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 185 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Cast?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Cast need an API key?
No. Cast completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Cast?
It answers our handshake in 185 ms on average, which is faster than 71% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
