What is Claude?

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available in the Claude desktop app and at claude.ai. Add the ShortGenius MCP server as a custom connector and Claude can do real creative work — drafting scripts, generating videos, images, and speech, and managing your library — without you leaving the chat.

Create in plain English

Describe the result and Claude drives ShortGenius for you — no clicking through screens, no glue code.

Real voices, styles, and music

Claude taps your voices, image styles, and soundtrack library, so every render is built from real assets.

Draft to render in one request
