Our reading of Cast, from the data

Cast is a images, video & audio MCP server, listed in the official MCP Registry.

Its 4 tools add about 1,260 tokens to every model turn, lighter than the images, video & audio median of 1,784 tokens across 390 measured servers (measured 2026-10-19).

Maintenance is active: the last public signal was 2 days ago (2026-10-18). For comparison, 72% of images, video & audio servers are active or maintained.

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

Tools (4)

create_video_link833 tok
Build a one-tap link that makes a short vertical AI video of a character doing what the user describes (e.g. "Malfoid dances on the castle roof at midnight"). Use this whenever the user asks for an AI video, short, clip, TikTok/Reel/Shorts-style video, or animation of a character, avatar, mascot or persona. Returns a URL on cast.katechon.technology. Give the URL to the user and tell them to open it and tap the button: the video renders in their private feed, usually within half a minute (a few minutes for a 2-3 character group scene). This tool does NOT generate anything, charge anything or ne
get_showcase106 tok
Example videos of Cast characters (video URL, poster image, the line that produced it when on record, page link, and a ready-made remix link). Use to show the user what Cast makes before they open a link, or to find a proven prompt to adapt. Read-only.
list_characters84 tok
List the premade characters Cast can put in a video (slug, name, look, image, whether free), plus how to design a custom one. Call before create_video_link when you need a character slug or want to show the user who they can cast. Read-only, no account.
get_prices76 tok
Current Cast prices in USD and credits: the free first video, credit packs, Premium, and the credit cost of every video length and of a new character. Prices follow the live model price table, so call this instead of quoting from memory. Read-only.
