From the repository
Install the uv package manager, then run uvx videodb-director-mcp --api-key=VIDEODB_API_KEY. Configure the server in MCP‑compatible clients (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor) by adding it as an MCP server with the command uvx and arguments ["videodb-director-mcp", "--api-key=<VIDEODB-API-KEY>"]. Automatic installation commands are available for Claude (--install=claude), Cursor (--install=cursor), or both (--install=all). For Claude Code, use claude mcp add videodb-director uvx -- videodb-director-mcp --api-key=<VIDEODB_API_KEY>.
