What can OpenCode do through this integration?

It can draft scripts, generate videos, images, and text-to-speech, start scheduled recurring series, browse your videos, voices, and music, check credits and connections, and subscribe to webhooks.

Which models does it work with?

OpenCode works with 75+ LLMs, and the ShortGenius integration is model-agnostic: any model you run OpenCode with can call the ShortGenius tools through MCP.

Does it cost credits to use?

Generating media such as videos, images, and speech costs ShortGenius credits, while reads like browsing your library or checking your balance are free. You can ask OpenCode to check your credit balance anytime.

Do I need an API key?

No. OpenCode authenticates to the ShortGenius MCP server with OAuth via "opencode mcp auth shortgenius". If you prefer key auth, generate a key at https://shortgenius.com/developers/keys and pass it as a Bearer token.

What is OpenCode?

OpenCode is an open-source terminal coding agent by Anomaly with a rich TUI that works with 75+ LLMs. Add the ShortGenius MCP server to its config and OpenCode can do real creative work: drafting scripts, generating videos, images, and speech, starting recurring series, and managing your library, whichever model you run it with.

Create in plain English

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

Real voices, styles, and music

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

Chain scripting, generation, and publishing into a single turn instead of clicking through screens.
