Placid.app MCP Server 2025: Features & Setup Guide

Overview

Placid.app MCP Server is an MCP server implementation designed to integrate with Placid.app's API. It provides tools for listing available Placid templates with filtering options and for generating images and videos by combining templates with dynamic content. The server supports secure API token management and includes error handling and validation to ensure robust interactions. Built with Node.js and designed for type safety, it offers a predictable integration point for apps leveraging the Model Context Protocol. Quick Start using Smithery automates configuration, while manual configuration supports Claude Desktop or Cline settings. You can obtain a Placid API token from Settings > API, then configure PLACID_API_TOKEN as an environment variable. The server exposes tools placid_list_templates, placid_generate_video, and placid_generate_image, each with detailed parameters to assemble media via Placid templates. This MCP server aims to simplify templated media generation—images and videos—through a single, MCP-compliant, type-safe interface that developers can plug into their workflows.
