Rendobar is MCP-native — AI agents can process videos, check job status, and manage billing through the Model Context Protocol without writing HTTP code.

​
What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard for AI agents to interact with external services. Instead of making REST API calls, agents use typed tools with structured inputs and outputs.

​
Available MCP tools

Rendobar exposes 15 MCP tools, mirroring the REST API:

​
Job management

ToolDescription
submit_jobSubmit a video processing job
submit_batchSubmit multiple jobs at once
get_jobGet job status and details
get_job_resultGet the output URL for a completed job
list_jobsList jobs with filtering and pagination
cancel_jobCancel a running or queued job
list_job_typesList all available job types
get_job_schemaGet the Zod schema for a specific job type

​
Billing

ToolDescription
get_balanceCheck current usage balance
get_usageGet usage analytics for a date range

​

get_orgGet organization details and plan info
list_membersList organization members
list_api_keysList API keys

​
Connecting an agent

​
Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP config: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rendobar": {
      "url": "https://api.rendobar.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer rb_live_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

​
Custom agents

Any MCP-compatible agent can connect to Rendobar’s MCP endpoint. The server supports the SSE transport protocol.

​
Example: Agent workflow

An AI agent can process videos end-to-end:
1

Check credits

Call get_balance to verify sufficient balance.
2

Submit job

Call submit_job with type and parameters.
3

Monitor

Call get_job to poll for completion.
4

Retrieve

Call get_job_result to get the output URL.
5

Report

Present the result to the user.

​
Authentication

MCP tools authenticate via API key in the Authorization header. The same API keys used for REST work with MCP.
