Ziztu MCP server and skills

Ziztu is an AI video studio for micro dramas, anime episodes, viral reels, YouTube Shorts, TikTok videos and long faceless YouTube videos. This repository holds the public pieces an agent needs to use it:

The Ziztu MCP server, hosted at https://getziztu.com/mcp. Connect it and your agent can create a project, ask the Director to plan an episode, price every shot in credits, and make first frames, clips, music and the final film, with the same characters in every shot.
Ziztu Planner, a smaller server at https://getziztu.com/mcp/planner that plans episodes, writes scripts, loglines and shot lists, and prices each step. It makes no images or video.
Four skills (MIT): ziztu-viral-reels writes viral faceless reels, YouTube Shorts and TikToks, ziztu-faceless-youtube plans and scripts faceless YouTube videos, ziztu-micro-drama writes binge-worthy vertical micro drama series and hands them to Ziztu, and ziztu-cinematic-depth stages AI images and video in depth so frames stop looking flat.
A portable Agent Plugin (plugin.json and mcp.json) that bundles the MCP server and the skills for Hermes and other clients that read the Agent Plugins format.

Connect the MCP server

Both servers use OAuth. Add the address, sign in to Ziztu when the client asks, and approve the screen that opens. No install and no key.

| Client | How to add it |
| --- | --- |
| Claude (claude.ai, Desktop, mobile) | Customize, Connectors, Add custom connector, paste https://getziztu.com/mcp, then Connect. |
| Claude Code | claude mcp add --transport http ziztu https://getziztu.com/mcp, then /mcp to sign in. |
| Cursor | Copy .cursor/mcp.json into your project's .cursor/mcp.json, then sign in when Cursor asks. |
| Hermes Agent | hermes plugins install 0xnirlin/ziztu, then hermes plugins enable ziztu, and sign in when Hermes asks. |
| Codex | codex mcp add ziztu --url https://getziztu.com/mcp |
| ChatGPT | Add a custom MCP server in the apps settings (developer mode) and choose OAuth. |
| Grok | grok.com/connectors, New Connector, Custom, paste the address. |

For scripts and unattended agents, Ziztu also has API keys (Studio, Settings, API keys); the docs show how to use them.

What it costs

Ziztu works on credits. Every paid step shows its price in credits before it runs, the agent can ask for a dry run first, and a step that fails is refunded. Only the steps that write or make something are charged. Plans and credits are bought on getziztu.com/pricing, never inside the agent.

Install the skills

The skills live in skills/. Each folder has a SKILL.md.

Claude Code: install this repository as a plugin (it bundles both skills and the MCP server), or copy a skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/.
Codex and other agents that read skills: copy a skill folder into your agent's skills directory.
Any agent that supports skills.sh: npx skills add 0xnirlin/ziztu.

ziztu-viral-reels picks a proven reel format, writes a 1 second hook and a Paradox, Escalation, Pivot, Payoff script, and builds the shot list for a faceless reel, YouTube Short or TikTok. Then it makes the reel in Reel Factory, the AI reel maker: one topic in, one vertical MP4 out with a voice, word captions and music.

ziztu-faceless-youtube picks a niche, studies how a working video is built without copying it, and writes a chapter by chapter script, titles and thumbnail ideas for a faceless YouTube channel. Then it makes the film in the AI YouTube Video Maker: a narrated video of 2 to 60 minutes in one look.

ziztu-micro-drama writes pitches, series bibles, season grids and Fountain episode scripts with a hook and a cliffhanger in every episode. Writing needs no Ziztu account. With the MCP server connected it imports each episode, plans the shots and shows the price before anything is made.

ziztu-cinematic-depth writes a soft foreground, a sharp subject and a hazy background into image and video prompts for models such as Seedance, Kling, Veo, Nano Banana and GPT Image, and fixes frames that look flat or pasted in.
