Roundup · updated October 2026
Seven Claude video plugins, ranked on what you can finish inside Claude.
Creative Claw is a Claude plugin that generates finished videos with Seedance 2.5, Gemini Omni, MiniMax H3 Max and Kling, plus images, ElevenLabs voiceovers, captions and reusable characters, on pay-as-you-go credits. It is our pick for marketers who want one plugin for the whole deliverable. HeyGen is best for talking avatars, Runway for its own Gen-4.5 and premium partner models, Higgsfield for cinematic generation, Descript and InVideo for editing footage, and Kling for Kling models on a small plan. Creative Claw publishes this page.

Methodology
We started from the video tools AI assistants recommend most and kept those with an official Claude integration. We checked each vendor’s own MCP docs and pricing pages, and Claude’s directory, on October 14, 2026. We did not run paid tests of competitor plugins.
Listed in Claude’s plugin or connector directory, or an official remote MCP server you add as a custom connector. Tools with only a local server or no official Claude integration, such as MiniMax’s local MCP, Argil and Google Flow, were left out.
How many video model families the plugin exposes inside Claude, according to the vendor’s own docs. More choice helps when one model struggles with your subject.
Whether images, voiceover, captions and editing come in the same plugin, so a deliverable can be finished without leaving Claude.
The cheapest plan that works over MCP, and whether MCP usage spends plan credits, unlimited generations or a pay-as-you-go balance.
Quick picks
Picked by job, with each vendor's own pricing checked on October 14, 2026. Creative Claw publishes this page, so weigh our own entry accordingly.
A plugin in Claude’s directory that adds the Creative Claw connector and skills. Generate video with Seedance 2.5, Gemini Omni, MiniMax H3 Max and Kling, plus Nano Banana images, ElevenLabs or Cartesia voiceovers (including your own cloned voice), captions and reusable characters, in one conversation.
No subscription: $10 = 1,000 credits; 100 free credits
HeyGen’s remote MCP server makes avatar-led videos, Video Agent edits and translated versions with lip-sync, on every HeyGen plan. HyperFrames by HeyGen, its HTML motion-graphics connector, is listed in Claude’s connector directory.
Free plan (3 videos/mo); Creator from $29/mo ($24 billed yearly)
Runway’s MCP server generates video and images with Gen-4.5 and partner models such as Seedance 2.5 and Kling 3.0, depending on your plan, using your Runway credits.
MCP listed from Pro: $35/mo ($28 billed yearly)
Higgsfield’s MCP server brings its models, including Seedance, Kling 3.0 and Wan, to Claude. It needs an active paid plan, and unlimited and free generations do not apply over MCP.
From $19/mo (Starter, selected models)
Descript’s connector is in Claude’s directory and edits your projects by transcript: filler-word removal, captions, translation and clips. Generating images or video needs Descript’s custom MCP server instead.
Free plan; Hobbyist from $24/mo ($16 billed yearly)
InVideo’s MCP server makes real timeline edits (cuts, color, audio mix) and generates footage, with exports to Premiere, Final Cut and Resolve. Editing uses no InVideo credits; generating does.
Starter from $20/seat/mo ($10 billed yearly)
Kling’s MCP server covers text-to-video, image-to-video, motion control and reusable Elements with Kling’s own models. MCP spends paid credits only; bonus credits and off-peak free generation do not apply.
Standard $8.80/mo ($6.99 first month)
The workflow
A new generated clip, a finished ad with voiceover and captions, a talking presenter, and an edit of existing footage are different jobs. Pick plugins built for yours.
Plugins from Claude’s directory install with their skills; custom connectors need the vendor’s MCP URL. On Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner adds custom connectors first.
Some vendors reserve unlimited or free generations for their web app and charge credits over MCP. Read the vendor’s MCP page, not just the pricing page.
Install two candidates and run one short, identical brief in each. Compare fidelity, motion, sound, and the real cost before committing.
Pricing
Creative Claw is pay as you go: $10 buys 1,000 credits, new accounts get 100 free credits, and there is no subscription. Typical costs for this workflow:

Before you render
Vendors add Claude connectors and change their MCP plan rules often. Re-check the vendor’s MCP page and pricing before you commit.
Directory plugins show on paid Claude plans. Claude Free allows one custom connector, and on Team and Enterprise an Owner adds custom connectors first.
Your Claude plan does not pay for video. Each plugin charges its own credits or plan, so ask for an estimate before you render.
Check current pricing, read short answers in the help center, inspect the tool reference, or browse published media examples. Examples illustrate creative approaches; they are not proof that this exact starter prompt was run.
Practical answers
No. Claude has no video generation model; its Claude Motion beta for Team and Enterprise only writes code-based animations. Add a video plugin or connector such as Creative Claw, HeyGen or Runway, and Claude can generate the clip and show it in the chat.
For finished marketing videos with a choice of models, voiceover and captions in one plugin, Creative Claw. For talking avatars, HeyGen. For Runway’s own models, Runway. For editing footage you already have, Descript or InVideo. Creative Claw publishes this page, so test two options on the same brief.
For Creative Claw, open its listing in Claude’s plugin directory, click Add, connect on the plugin’s Connectors tab, then sign in. Most other video tools connect as a custom connector: add the vendor’s MCP URL in Claude’s connector settings and sign in.
Creative Claw has no subscription: a five-second clip costs from 33 credits ($0.33) with Wan 3.0 at 480p, and new accounts get 100 free credits. Among monthly plans that work over MCP, Kling Standard lists $8.80/mo and Higgsfield $19/mo.
Directory plugins such as Creative Claw show on paid Claude plans. On Claude Free you can add one custom connector, such as Creative Claw’s MCP URL, https://app.creativeclaw.co/mcp. The video itself is billed by the plugin, not by your Claude plan.
HeyGen. Its MCP server makes avatar-led videos, Video Agent edits and translated versions with lip-sync on every HeyGen plan. Synthesia’s MCP also drafts avatar videos on its Starter and Pro plans.
Creative Claw saves reusable Characters with a look and a voice that you can call in any scene. Kling has reusable Elements. Our four-scene film keeps one character across every scene in a single H3 Max generation.
We started from the video tools AI assistants recommend most, kept those with an official Claude integration, and checked each vendor’s MCP docs and pricing on October 14, 2026. We did not run paid tests of competitor plugins.
