## What it does

Cinegenta's remote MCP works from the script down rather than the shot up: put_script and build_plan break a screenplay into scenes, cast, wardrobe, props, staging and a shot list, quote returns an itemised estimate without spending anything, and only greenlight starts rendering — under a cap the human sets, enforced server-side before every render, with review checkpoints that come back as images in chat. Thirteen tools split into read, write and spend scopes, and a key minted without the spend scope cannot bill at all. For a filmmaker-agent that is the most explicit money model of any studio-tier server listed here.

## Connect

- Remote endpoint: `https://cinegenta.com/api/mcp`
- Remote headers required: `Authorization`
- Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http cinegenta https://cinegenta.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer cg_sk_YOUR_KEY"`

**Auth:** api_key — <https://cinegenta.com/connect> — mints a cg_sk_ key with read, write and spend scopes, shown once; the server also accepts it as X-API-Key.

## Field notes

Verified 2026-09-15 from primary sources: the endpoint answers 401 with a proper WWW-Authenticate challenge, the server card at cinegenta.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json and the official MCP registry (com.cinegenta/studio v1.1.0, published 13 Sep 2026) agree on the URL and 13 tools, and the tool list above is copied from the vendor's agent reference at cinegenta.com/mcp/reference.md, which it says is regenerated from tools/list. What we could not check without a key and a spend: whether cap enforcement, refunds on failed renders and the idempotent regenerate behave as described — those are the vendor's claims. Know what you are buying into: the domain was registered in May 2026, the product is labelled Beta, there is no public repo and no named team, and credits are $0.10 each in $5 to $500 packs bought only on the website, with a generated minute quoted anywhere from under a dollar to over twenty depending on the models. Transport is stateless POST-only, no SSE. Submitted through this directory's own submit_listing tool from a GitHub account with no visible tie to the company.
