Our reading of Openshorts, from the data

Openshorts is a images, video & audio MCP server from mutonby, listed in the official MCP Registry.

Its endpoint requires sign-in or an API key just to list tools, so we haven't measured its token cost; we never use real credentials.

Maintenance is active: the last public signal was 5 days ago (2026-10-17). For comparison, 72% of images, video & audio servers are active or maintained.

With 6,821 GitHub stars it ranks #6 of 2,354 images, video & audio servers we index.

It runs as a hosted endpoint, so there is nothing to install.

Install Openshorts MCP server

claude mcp add --transport http openshorts https://mcp.openshorts.app/mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openshorts": {
      "url": "https://mcp.openshorts.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openshorts": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

    }
  }
}

Or add it as a custom connector under Settings → Connectors. The config above bridges via mcp-remote.
