The video studio your agents can run.
This explainer came from one brief. Paste a prompt into your agent, and it can make one like it in your brand, with voice, captions and music.
Copy a prompt for your agent
Keep your agent key in the SECOND_STUDIO_API_KEY environment variable. The prompt never needs the key itself.
Set up Second Studio so you can make videos for me.
About Second Studio: a hosted video API and MCP server. Read https://secondstudio.dev/llms.txt for the full guide.
1. Auth. Ask me for the API key, or read it from the SECOND_STUDIO_API_KEY environment variable if I already set it. Never print the key, never paste it into chat, a file in a repo, or a log. If I give you the key, save it only as SECOND_STUDIO_API_KEY in the environment (do not echo it back). If neither is available, tell me to run this in my own terminal (I will paste my real key) and restart you:
export SECOND_STUDIO_API_KEY="ss_live_..."
2. Connect the MCP server at https://second.studio.hellofaro.io/mcp (Streamable HTTP, header Authorization: Bearer $SECOND_STUDIO_API_KEY). Use the setup for your client:
Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http second-studio https://second.studio.hellofaro.io/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer $SECOND_STUDIO_API_KEY"
Cursor: add to .cursor/mcp.json:
{ "mcpServers": { "second-studio": { "type": "http", "url": "https://second.studio.hellofaro.io/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:SECOND_STUDIO_API_KEY}" } } } }
Claude Desktop: tell me to add this to claude_desktop_config.json myself, with my key in place of MY_KEY (the file stays on my computer), then restart the app:
{ "mcpServers": { "second-studio": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://second.studio.hellofaro.io/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer ${SECOND_STUDIO_API_KEY}"], "env": { "SECOND_STUDIO_API_KEY": "MY_KEY" } } } }
ChatGPT or another app with connectors: add a custom MCP connector with the URL above and the same Authorization header.
No MCP support: call the REST API at https://second.studio.hellofaro.io/v1 with the same header. GET /v1/me checks the key.
3. Confirm it works by listing the Second Studio tools (or calling GET /v1/me) and tell me my credit balance.
4. Read the product docs and summarize what Second Studio can do for me: https://secondstudio.dev/docs/quickstart , https://secondstudio.dev/docs/ , https://secondstudio.dev/features/ , https://secondstudio.dev/use-cases/ , and https://secondstudio.dev/llms.txt .
Then make me a 30 second vertical explainer about [what you make], in my brand, with voiceover and captions. Show me the script before you render.Set up Second Studio so you can make videos for me. 1. My agent key is in the SECOND_STUDIO_API_KEY environment variable. 2. Connect the hosted MCP server: claude mcp add --transport http second-studio https://second.studio.hellofaro.io/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer $SECOND_STUDIO_API_KEY" (Or I can install the full plugin with its skills: /plugin marketplace add psulli007/second_studio_prod /plugin install second-studio@second-studio) 3. List the Second Studio tools to confirm it worked. Then make me a 30 second vertical explainer about [what you make], in my brand, with voiceover and captions. Show me the script before you render.
Set up Second Studio so you can make videos for me.
1. Add this server to .cursor/mcp.json (merge with anything already there):
{
"mcpServers": {
"second-studio": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://second.studio.hellofaro.io/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${SECOND_STUDIO_API_KEY}" }
}
}
}
2. My agent key is in the SECOND_STUDIO_API_KEY environment variable.
3. Once the server shows as connected, list its tools.
Then make me a 30 second vertical explainer about [what you make], in my brand, with voiceover and captions. Show me the script before you render.Add the Second Studio MCP connector so you can make videos for me. Connector URL: https://second.studio.hellofaro.io/mcp Transport: Streamable HTTP Header: Authorization: Bearer SECOND_STUDIO_API_KEY (Use my agent key from Second Studio in place of SECOND_STUDIO_API_KEY. Ask me for it if you do not have it.) When the connector is added, list its tools to confirm it works. Then make me a 30 second vertical explainer about [what you make], in my brand, with voiceover and captions. Show me the script before you render.
Use Second Studio to make videos for me.
Read https://secondstudio.dev/llms.txt first, then the REST reference it links to.
REST base URL: https://second.studio.hellofaro.io/v1
Auth header on every request: Authorization: Bearer $SECOND_STUDIO_API_KEY
Useful endpoints: GET /v1/me to check the key, POST /v1/brands to save my brand kit, POST /v1/explainers to render an explainer, GET /v1/jobs/{id} to poll until it is done.
If you support MCP, connect to https://second.studio.hellofaro.io/mcp with the same header instead.
