Claude Code - VMEG Open API

Wire VMEG into Claude Code to translate media from your terminal workflow.

Manual setup

Prerequisites

Claude Code installed
A VMEG account — see Pricing for credits
An API Key from API Configuration

Add the MCP server

Run in your system terminal (not inside the Claude Code REPL):

claude mcp add --transport http vmeg https://www.vmeg.ai/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

For all projects, add user scope:

claude mcp add --transport http -s user vmeg https://www.vmeg.ai/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Alternative: edit ~/.claude.json or project .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vmeg": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://www.vmeg.ai/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with a key from API Configuration. Restart Claude Code after editing.

Verify

claude mcp list

Or inside Claude Code, run /mcp — vmeg should appear as connected.

Usage

Translate /path/to/demo.mp4 to French with VMEG.

Claude Code uploads the file via POST /api/mcp/material/upload, creates a translation task, and polls until complete.
