Use Voodle from ChatGPT and Claude

1. In ChatGPT, open Plugins (chatgpt.com/plugins), select + and choose Add custom MCP server. Your workspace’s settings decide whether custom servers are allowed.
2. Name it Voodle, paste the MCP URL above as the connection and choose OAuth for authentication, then create it.
3. ChatGPT opens a Voodle page. Sign in, check what the app is asking for, and choose Allow.
4. In a new chat, type @, pick Voodle and ask for a video, for example “Make a short whiteboard video explaining the water cycle for 5th graders”.

Add Voodle to Claude opens Claude’s custom-connector dialog with the name and URL filled in. To add it by hand:

1. Open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
2. Name it Voodle and paste the MCP URL above. Leave the advanced OAuth fields empty.
3. Choose Connect, sign in to Voodle and choose Allow.

A connector you add on claude.ai is also available in Claude Desktop when you sign in with the same account. Connectors always sign in with OAuth: never paste a personal API key into a connector that your organisation shares.

The Voodle plugin for Claude Code bundles this connection with ready-made skills for making a video, finding your videos and checking your credits. Add our marketplace and install it; it signs in with OAuth:

/plugin marketplace add voodle-studio/voodle-plugins
/plugin install voodle@voodle

To add the server yourself, run this, then type /mcp in Claude Code to sign in:

claude mcp add --transport http voodle https://api.voodle.studio/mcp

For scripts, CI or a machine where a browser sign-in is awkward, create an API key under Account → Connected apps and pass it as a header instead:

claude mcp add --transport http voodle https://api.voodle.studio/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer $VOODLE_API_KEY"

Each key lists exactly what it may do, and you can revoke it at any time. Treat it like a password: anyone holding it can act on your account within those permissions.

Codex uses the same Voodle plugin as ChatGPT. Add our marketplace, then install Voodle from the plugin browser and sign in when asked:

codex plugin marketplace add voodle-studio/voodle-plugins

• Make a narrated whiteboard video from an idea, a script or a PDF, after showing you what it will cost.
• Follow a video while it is drawn and voiced, then hand you the link to watch the finished MP4.
• List, find, rename and delete your projects, read their scripts, and export a video again at another resolution.
• Browse story layouts and voices before you start.
• Show your plan, credit balance, usage and credit history.

It cannot buy credits, change your plan or touch your password. Those stay on voodle.studio, behind your normal sign-in. Scene-by-scene editing stays in the Voodle editor.

Making a video from a chat costs the same credits as making it on the web. Before it starts anything, the assistant asks Voodle for an estimate and shows it to you. It goes ahead only after you say yes, and it sends that estimate as the most it may spend: the final charge can be lower, never higher. Each connection also has a daily spending limit, as a guard against runaway loops.

Nothing is ever bought in a chat. If your balance runs short, compare plans on the pricing page, top up on voodle.studio, and ask the assistant to carry on.

• The assistant sends Voodle what you ask it to: your idea, script or PDF, and the settings it picks. Voodle sends back project titles, scripts, progress, links and the account details its permissions allow. How OpenAI or Anthropic handle the conversation itself is governed by their terms.
• Finished videos get an unlisted link so the assistant can show them to you: anyone with the link can watch. Deleting the project removes the video and its link.
• When an app asks to connect, Voodle shows you exactly what it will be able to do, and you choose Allow or Deny. Only a hash of each API key is stored.
• Disconnect an app or revoke an API key under Account → Connected apps. Access stops immediately.
