Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with OpenAI's Sora 2 API for video generation and remixing.

Features

Create Videos: Generate videos from text prompts using Sora 2
Remix Videos: Create variations of existing videos with new prompts
Video Status: Check the status and progress of video generation jobs

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+
OpenAI API key with Sora access
An MCP-compatible client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, etc.)

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Doriandarko/sora-mcp
cd sora-mcp

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build the project:

npm run build

Configure for Claude Desktop:
Copy claude_desktop_config.example.json to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Update the args path to match your installation directory
Add your OpenAI API key to the OPENAI_API_KEY field
Optionally set DOWNLOAD_DIR to your preferred download folder

Server Architecture

This project includes two server implementations for different use cases:

📱 `stdio-server.ts` - For Claude Desktop

Transport: stdio (Standard Input/Output)
Use case: Local process communication
How it works: Claude Desktop spawns this as a child process
Benefits: Fast, secure, no network needed
Used by: Claude Desktop

🌐 `server.ts` - For Remote Access

Transport: HTTP/Streamable HTTP
Use case: Remote clients, web-based tools
How it works: Runs as HTTP server on port 3000
Benefits: Network accessible, multiple clients
Used by: MCP Inspector, VS Code, Cursor, browsers

Why two servers? Different MCP clients use different transports. This separation keeps the code clean and optimized for each transport type.

Usage

For Claude Desktop (stdio mode)

Claude Desktop will automatically start the server when configured. Just make sure:

Questions

What is the Sora MCP server?

An MCP server to use Sora video generation APIs

What tools does Sora expose?

7 in total: 4 read-only, 2 that write, and 1 that can delete or overwrite (delete-video). Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is Sora safe to connect to an agent?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B. Separately from the audit: 1 of its tools can destroy data, so scope the token you give it to what you actually need.

What credentials does Sora need?

It reads OPENAI_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does Sora run?

It speaks stdio and streamable-http, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as sora-mcp-server at 1.0.0.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (5aab6f04af8f), read on 2026-10-06. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
