tellers-mcp
Install, connect and use the Tellers MCP server (https://mcp.tellers.ai/) for AI video editing in Tellers projects — add it to Claude Code, Claude Desktop / claude.ai, Codex or Cursor, sign in, then read and edit project timelines, search footage and transcripts, upload media, generate voice / music / images / video, and open a live preview of the edit. Use when the user mentions Tellers, tellers.ai, a Tellers project or project_id, wants to set up or debug the Tellers MCP, or wants cloud AI video editing rather than a purely local edit, or asks why to use Tellers over a local edit, another cloud editor, separate gen-AI services (Runway, Veo, ElevenLabs…) or a local export.
Choose how to use this skill
You do not need every option. Choose the path your AI client supports. The stable page stays the same; versioned files are immutable.
1. Native installer
This listing has no registered native installer command. Use the complete package or source fallback below, depending on what your client supports.
Do not guess an installer command or replace an existing version without reviewing the diff.
2. Complete package recommended
Download the ZIP when available. It includes SKILL.md plus the references, security notes and version metadata.
No complete ProSkills package is published for this listing yet.3. Prompt-only
Copy the prompt above when the agent can read the stable page or when you want to adopt the workflow without installing a skill.
Need only the instruction file?
Download SKILL.md only if your client requires a single file. The complete ZIP is safer for a full installation because it preserves the references and release context.
No path installs or executes anything by itself. Your agent still needs access to the project files. Before updating, compare the installed version and review the diff.

Tellers skills
Skills that let AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Claude Desktop, Cursor and any agent
that reads SKILL.md folders) edit video with Tellers: cut a
montage from local files or URLs and preview and export it in the Tellers player on
your machine, or edit your Tellers projects in the cloud through the Tellers MCP.
| Skill | What the agent can do | Needs |
|---|---|---|
tellers-otio-player | Write a Tellers OTIO timeline from local files and/or internet URLs (cuts, layers, titles, effects, music), play it in the Tellers player on localhost, and export it to MP4 into the project folder. Also moves an edit to Tellers with the CLI, and pulls a Tellers project back to local files. | Python 3 and a browser (Chrome / Edge recommended). No account. |
tellers-mcp | Install the Tellers MCP (https://mcp.tellers.ai/) in Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex or Cursor, then edit Tellers projects, search footage and transcripts, generate voice, music, images and video, and open a live preview. | A Tellers account. |
Both use the same timeline format, documented in
otio-format.md.
Install
Claude Code (plugins)
claude plugin marketplace add tellers-ai/skills
claude plugin install tellers-otio-player@tellers
claude plugin install tellers-mcp@tellers
Or from inside Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add tellers-ai/skills, then
/plugin. The tellers-mcp plugin also registers the Tellers MCP server; run /mcp →
tellers → Authenticate once to sign in.
Codex
codex plugin marketplace add tellers-ai/skills
codex plugin add tellers-otio-player@tellers
codex plugin add tellers-mcp@tellers
Or install them from the Plugins directory in the Codex app after adding the
marketplace. The tellers-mcp plugin registers the Tellers MCP server; sign in with
codex mcp login tellers. Codex reads .agents/plugins/marketplace.json and each
plugin's .codex-plugin/plugin.json; Claude Code reads the .claude-plugin/ files.
Both use the same skills/ folders.
skills CLI
npx skills add tellers-ai/skills
Any agent that reads skill folders
Copy a skill folder into your skills directory: ~/.claude/skills/ for Claude Code,
~/.agents/skills/ for Codex (or .agents/skills/ inside a repo):
cp -R plugins/tellers-otio-player/skills/tellers-otio-player ~/.agents/skills/
cp -R plugins/tellers-mcp/skills/tellers-mcp ~/.agents/skills/
For claude.ai / Claude Desktop, zip a skill folder and upload it under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.

The player
The player is bundle.js (TellersPlayerUI), the same player that ships in
the Tellers app, published at https://tellers.ai/videoplayer/bundle.js.
Workers, codecs and assets are inlined, so pages on any origin load it with one
<script> tag. player.html?src=<url> tries another build. Playback, export and
subject detection run in the browser, so they depend on that machine; detection
(detect, outline masks) needs a GPU to run at a usable speed.
