Can Claude generate videos? Yes, with one connector.
Seedance 2 team · Updated
Claude does not output video files on any plan. Add Seedance 2 as a custom connector (https://www.seedance2.net/mcp) and Claude generates Seedance 2.5 and Seedance 2.0 videos, plus Veo, Kling, Wan and MiniMax clips and AI images, on your Seedance 2 account, and shows the result in the chat.
Three steps
- In Claude (web, desktop or mobile), open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
- Name it Seedance 2 and paste the server URL: https://www.seedance2.net/mcp
- Click Connect, sign in with your Seedance 2 account and approve the connection. New accounts get free credits, no card needed.
- Start a new chat and ask for a video, naming the model, for example "Use Seedance 2 to make a 5-second Seedance 2.5 clip of…".

What happens when you ask
- The assistant calls list_models and tells you the credit price of the settings it picked.
- It calls generate_video, which returns a task id right away.
- It polls get_task until the video is done, usually one to several minutes, and gives you the file.
- If a generation fails, its credits are refunded automatically.
