The connector is one way to use Kleo: the same Kleo you open at app.kleooai.com also works inside your assistant, as a remote MCP server, with the same account and credits. It speaks the Model Context Protocol over Streamable HTTP with OAuth 2.1, so the same address works from any compatible client. Connecting takes one button on Kleo’s own page, with no sign-up form, no password, no card. It is free to start: 5 credits on your account the moment you connect, one animatic of up to 20 seconds, and a launch code opens one free 15-second film. Add it to your assistant and describe the film you want to make. Quickest route: Claude, Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
https://mcp.kleooai.com/mcpEvery client below uses the same address and the same one-button start: paste the address, Kleo’s page opens, you click Start free, and you are back in the client with 5 credits on the account. Follow the instructions for your client. Connector access and menus can vary by account, workspace and version.

Full ChatGPT guidehttps://mcp.kleooai.com/mcp If you have the Codex CLI, these two commands add Kleo and open its sign-in in your browser:
Open a new Codex session and check that Kleo’s tools show up, then pick the animatic or film prompt below. Codex MCP documentation →
Create or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json inside one project.
Create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace (or run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette and paste the address).
Add this to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc (global) or to opencode.jsonc in the project, then connect from the terminal.
Kleo is a standard MCP server over the Streamable HTTP transport with OAuth 2.1. Any compatible client connects with the same address and the same one-button start.

The assistant reads your request against Kleo’s intake — subject, length, format, look — and asks for whatever is missing before it writes the treatment. Say all four and it goes straight to work. Paste this in your first chat:
Choose the product before rendering. Try a free animatic: drawn frames, camera movement and narration, 5 credits up to 20 seconds (10 up to 60). Create a film: generated moving footage, 15 seconds to 5 minutes, with a purchased pack (or a launch code for one 15-second film) and a quote you approve.
“Use Kleo to plan a 20-second animatic about a paper boat returning to its maker. Animation look, English narration, 9:16. Show me the treatment, confirm that the product is an animatic, and check the exact credit cost against my available balance. Wait for my approval before rendering. Do not start a paid film or buy credits.”
“Use Kleo to plan a 20-second narrated film about two fictional cars leaving an amber-lit tunnel for a coastal road at golden hour. Realistic look, English narration, 16:9. Show me the treatment, the exact film credit cost, my available balance and whether my account is eligible. Wait for my approval before rendering. Do not buy credits. After rendering, give me the finished MP4 download link.”
Two looks are available on the server: realistic, generated live-action footage, and animation, a 2D animated film. Swap the word in the prompt to get the other one.
A line typed in the chat is enough to start; Kleo asks for whatever is missing.
A €5 pack adds 10 purchased credits and unlocks film rendering: exactly one 15-second film. A 20-second film costs 14 credits and a 30-second film 20. Your 5 starter credits buy one animatic of up to 20 seconds. A launch code opens one free 15-second film before any pack. Ask your assistant to confirm the credits for your chosen product and the exact quote before you buy or render.
Ask the assistant for your account page to buy credits, then confirm when you want the render to start. Nothing is charged until Kleo accepts the job: the assistant states the exact credits first, and a refused request costs nothing.
Have a launch code? Tell the assistant “redeem PRODUCTHUNT” (or HN, REDDIT, X, TIKTOK) before you ask for the film. Your account page also holds your referral link: a friend’s first pack gives them 5 extra credits and you 10.
Intake, treatment, storyboard, render, links: what each kleo tool does, in the order the assistant runs them, and how the credits are checked before a GPU is rented.
