Give your agent the power to make finished media, mid-task.

Every competitor is a destination app you leave your work to visit. Storyboard is an MCP server — your agent calls it as a tool, in the middle of doing something else, and gets a finished, text-legible, reproducible asset back. No app, no human in the loop. This is the one thing no destination video tool can offer.

The 60-second try

Add one entry to any MCP client (Claude Desktop, the CLI, your own agent):

{ "mcpServers": { "storyboard": {
  "type": "http", "url": "https://storyboard.daydream.monster/api/mcp",
  "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer sk_…" } } } }

Now, mid-workflow, your agent can:

// discover, generate, finish — as ordinary tool calls
list_capabilities()                          // 105+ models, live
create_media({ action:"generate", prompt:"…", max_cost_usd:0.10 })
generate_project({ title, scenes:[…], aspect_ratio:"9:16" })
create_media({ model_override:"hyperframes-render", html, background_video_url })  // legible text over video
create_media({ model_override:"ffmpeg-concat", … })   // finish to one MP4
get_cost_report({ … })                        // programmatic spend visibility

Destination app vs. agent tool

Every competitor

  • Leave your work → open a website
  • Make a clip by hand → come back
  • No programmatic cost control
  • Not callable by an agent

Storyboard MCP

  • Media is a tool call, in-workflow
  • Finished asset back as data
  • max_cost_usd + get_cost_report
  • Any MCP agent, CLI, or pipeline

Why an agent wants this

In-workflow assets

A coding/research agent that needs a diagram, hero image, or explainer clip as a step — not a detour to a web app.

Unattended pipelines

Cron / CI / queue rendering N branded assets per run, with max_cost_usd caps + idempotency.

Inline content bots

A support/marketing bot turning a doc or data row into a shareable reel, inline.

Multi-agent systems

One agent plans, another renders — the renderer is just a tool surface.

The contract that makes it agent-safe

1
Metered + capped. Every call has a USD price; max_cost_usd refuses over-budget calls before they run; get_cost_report for accounting.
2
Idempotent. idempotency_key makes at-least-once delivery / retries safe — no double-spend.
3
Deterministic finishing. ffmpeg-* / hyperframes-render return a delivered asset, not a punch-list of clip URLs.
4
Model-agnostic + fallback. Name a cap or let it route; siblings cover outages.
5
Structured results. URLs + cost + elapsed come back as data the agent can branch on.
The wedge, in one line: MCP is the 2026 integration standard, but creative-media MCP servers are rare — almost all MCP servers are data connectors. Storyboard is the creative one. Owning that category is the whole GTM thesis.
