Kuro runs inside Claude as a **connector**: Claude calls Kuro's tools, the work
lands in your Kuro library, and you never leave the conversation. It is the same
endpoint every agent uses, so anything Claude makes is in the app when you open
it.

Other agents connect to the same endpoint; the [agents page](/agents/) has the
setup for each one.

## Add the connector

In Claude on the web or the desktop app:

1. Open **Customize → Connectors**.
2. Click **+ Add**, then **Add custom connector**.
3. Name it `Kuro`, paste this URL, and click **Continue**:

   ```text
   https://api.meetkuro.com/mcp
   ```

4. Claude detects that Kuro signs in with OAuth. Keep what it proposes,
   including its recommended OAuth client, and click through to **Add**.
5. Kuro asks you to sign in and shows exactly what Claude may do: read your
   library, generate, write recipes, edit storyboards. Approve it once; the
   connection stays until you remove it.

[This link](https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Kuro&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.meetkuro.com%2Fmcp)
opens the same dialog with the name and the URL already filled in.

A Free plan holds one custom connector. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an owner
adds Kuro once under **Organization settings → Connectors**, and each member then
clicks **Connect** next to it under **Customize → Connectors**.

In a conversation, the **+** button at the bottom left of the chat opens
**Connectors**, where Kuro can be switched on or off for that chat. Connectors
reach Claude's mobile apps too.

Working in a terminal? [Use Kuro in Claude Code](/guides/use-kuro-in-claude-code/)
covers the one-command setup. For other agents, see
[Codex](/guides/use-kuro-in-codex/) and [ChatGPT](/guides/use-kuro-in-chatgpt/).

## What Claude learns when it connects

Claude reads each tool's own description, so the rules travel with the tools:

- **It asks before it spends.** For an open idea it pitches a few concepts
  first. For a concrete one it names the format, the model and the price in one
  line, and it can price a whole plan before starting anything.
- **It reads a model before using it.** Every model carries a guide: how its
  prompt wants to be shaped, what it cannot combine, what it gets wrong. Ask for
  "the cheapest" and it compares prices across the catalog.
- **It reuses before it makes.** Your Subjects and your library come first.

## A first job: a talking head from a script

Paste a script and say who speaks:

> Make a talking-head video of @ana reading this script. Cheapest option,
> vertical.

Claude prices the plan, records the voice, cuts it into lines of at most
fifteen seconds at the pauses, animates each line from the same portrait so the
face never drifts, and joins them in order. Ask for captions at the end.

## Skills for Claude Code and Cowork

Kuro also ships **skills**: written procedures for whole jobs, such as directing
a film, remaking a video's format, planning a week of posts or making a talking
head. Claude loads one when the task matches it. They come in the Kuro plugin,
next to the same connector.

## Remove it

Remove the connector under **Customize → Connectors**. To cut every agent off at once,
revoke the connection in Kuro under **Settings → Connections**.

The connector steps follow Anthropic's
[custom connector documentation](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/11175166-getting-started-with-custom-connectors-using-remote-mcp).

## About Kuro

Kuro is an AI picture studio: prompt-driven images, clips, voice-overs and music, and storyboard-backed films with consistent characters across every scene.

Agents connect over MCP and can generate directly:

```
claude mcp add kuro https://api.meetkuro.com/mcp --transport http
```

The app is at https://app.meetkuro.com and requires an account.

Each guide, model page, comparison and free tool page on this site (not a tool's variants, and not the index pages) has a Markdown twin at its own URL plus `.md`, and so do /benchmarks/, the English /agents/ page (as /agents.md) and the MCP tool reference. Every guide: https://meetkuro.com/guides/
