Make videos in Codex or Claude Code.

Start free with one Instavar MCP package. Pick an open-source template, describe the result, and render on your own computer. Add an API key later when you want Instavar to handle rendering, storage, review, or publishing. There is no second package to install.

Open in CodexBrowse the source

Codex opens a prepared prompt. Claude Code copies the setup command and takes you to the instructions below. Both start with the same free tools, and you still choose whether to run or render anything.

Need a voice first? Generate narration privately on your device or record your own at Instavar Voice.

One brief becomes a file you can inspect.

  1. 01

    Describe the job

    Give the agent the audience, goal, source media, and next action.

  2. 02

    Review the structure

    The agent creates a VideoSpec, validates it, and previews representative frames.

  3. 03

    Render locally

    Remotion produces the MP4 on your machine and reports the exact output path.

Connect once, then ask for the video.

The same package works in both clients without an account or API key. The repository also includes matching Agent Skills that teach each client how to plan, check, preview, and render a video.

Start with the communication job, not a blank timeline.

  • Question and answer ad

    Turn one useful question into a direct short.

  • Proof walkthrough

    Pace equations and worked reasoning scene by scene.

  • Announcement brief

    Give a launch or update one clear next action.

  • Social remix

    Reframe an existing clip with a stronger opening.

  • Data and finance brief

    Move from comparison to evidence to recommendation.

One package. Two levels of help.

Without a key, Instavar helps your agent choose a template, shape the video, and render it locally. Instavar's free tools do not upload your brief or files.

Add an Instavar API key to the same MCP setup when managed rendering, storage, review, publishing, and results tracking save you more time. The free tools stay available.
