How to connect Claude to Ignix and create on autopilot
Reels with voice-over and sound, your own videos edited, what works in your niche — and a sentence in your inbox every morning that gets it all made.
Planning content was never the hard part. Making it is — the script, the voice, the sound, the subtitles, the export, and again tomorrow.
With Claude connected to Ignix, making it is a sentence. And with Autopilot, the sentence arrives in your inbox every morning.
Connect Claude to Ignix
Settings → MCP server
Copy the address from Settings → MCP server, add it in Claude as a custom connector and approve. Two minutes; the full walk-through is in [How to set up Ignix and connect it to Claude](/resources/set-up-ignix-and-connect-claude).
Video renders on your computer, so for reels use the Claude desktop app (Claude Code or Cowork, on a paid Claude plan) — or Codex if you use ChatGPT.
Things you can just say Plain sentences. Each one costs AI credits from your plan, and the price is the same whether you ask from Claude or from the app.

Worth knowing before you start
What it costs, what it needs, and what it will not do on its own.
- Paid in AI credits — every plan has them
- Spark 500 a month, Blaze 1,500, Scale 3,000, Inferno 10,000. Each request’s price is in step one; your first analysis is free.
- Claude’s thinking is on Claude
- The script and the code run on your Claude plan. Ignix only charges for what it produces: voice, new sounds, edit decisions, research.
- Nothing publishes by itself
- Reels, edits and clips land as drafts. You review and schedule.
- Your footage stays home
- Only the transcript reaches Ignix to decide the edit — plus the finished video, attached to its draft.
- Public accounts only
- Research reads public profiles and numbers. Private or missing accounts are not charged; comments are never stored.
- Remotion’s licence
- Free for individuals and companies of up to three people. Bigger teams need their own Remotion licence.
Questions people ask
- Do I need a paid Claude plan?
- To connect Claude to Ignix, no — custom connectors work on the free plan. To render video on your computer, yes: Claude Code and Cowork come with the paid plans. If you use ChatGPT, Codex does the same job.
- How much does a typical reel cost in credits?
- A 30-second reel with eight spoken lines and library sounds uses about 24 credits of voice. On Spark, that is room for around twenty a month alongside your other AI use. If Autopilot planned it, the planning was already counted in the run.
- Can the voice be mine?
- The reels Claude builds use one of the 12 Ignix voices. If you want your own voice, film or record yourself and ask Claude to edit that video instead: subtitles, hook, cuts and sound, with you speaking.
- What if I skip a morning?
- Nothing is lost. The next time you paste the sentence, Claude makes today’s reels and any you missed. You can also make any single reel from its own prompt in the Autopilot panel.
- Does it work on Windows?
- Yes. Remotion runs on macOS, Windows and Linux, and Claude installs it for you on any of them.
- Will it copy other people’s content?
- No. Research is there to see which formats hold attention — the length, the structure, the kind of opening. The ideas and scripts are written for your business, in your voice, from what Ignix knows about you.
