MCP server mode for montaj — load when running as an MCP client (e.g. Claude Desktop).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Montaj MCP

Montaj exposes itself as an MCP server over stdin/stdout.

## Starting the server

```bash
montaj mcp
# or directly:
node mcp/server.js
```

## Claude Desktop config

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "montaj": {
      "command": "montaj",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

## What the server exposes

One tool: `render`, which renders a project to MP4. It takes minutes. If the call errors or times out after a long wait, do not call it again: the first render keeps going, and the file lands in the project's `render` folder. Everything else runs through the CLI (`montaj <command>`; `montaj --help` lists them) from a shell: create the project with `montaj run` and run each step with its command. Over HTTP, `montaj serve` runs a step with `POST /api/steps/<name>`. The Montaj app's connector adds its own `run_step` and project tools.

Follow the headless CLI loop from the root skill. Write project state to `project.json` in the project directory as you go.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thesampadilla/montaj/mcp@sha256:c415c09391705edb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.5b34692, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
