MCP Server

Use August Ads as a tool in Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI agent.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI assistants like Claude connect to external tools. With the August Ads MCP server, you can generate video ads and images by talking to your AI assistant in natural language.

For example, you can say "Generate a 12-second product video for my wireless earbuds" in Claude Desktop, and it will call the August Ads API directly.

Setup — Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "augustai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@augustai/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "AUGUST_API_KEY": "aug_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace aug_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE with your actual API key from Settings → API.

Setup — Cursor

Add to your .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "augustai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@augustai/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "AUGUST_API_KEY": "aug_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}
