Use Reel-E with your AI assistant

What you can ask for

• "Make a listing video for 12 Harbor Lane from these photos."
• "Show me my Reel-E listings and what is in the video for the first one."
• "Move the kitchen to the front and change the title to Just Listed."
• "Pick a faster song and trim the video to 45 seconds."
• "How many people watched my listing this week?"
• "Write me a short update for my seller."

One address for every assistant

Every guide uses the same server address: https://www.reel-e.ai/mcp. If your assistant is not listed but supports MCP servers or custom connectors, paste that address and sign in when asked.

Most assistants open a Reel-E sign-in page where you choose what they may do (OAuth). Your assistant never sees your password. If an assistant asks for a key instead, make one in Reel-E: open Keylight Studio and the AI Director panel, click the plug button and choose Connect an agent. A key is shown once.

Let your AI agent set it up

Some assistants can add Reel-E for you. Paste the prompt below and approve the Reel-E sign-in when it opens. Assistants on the web, such as Claude and ChatGPT, still add it from their own settings: pick yours below.

Add the Reel-E MCP server to your MCP settings so you can use it here and in later sessions.

- Name: reel-e
- Address: https://www.reel-e.ai/mcp (streamable HTTP)
- Sign-in: OAuth in my browser. Do not ask me for a password or a key. When you connect, open the Reel-E sign-in page and I will approve it there.

Use your own way to add a remote MCP server. For example:
- Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http reel-e https://www.reel-e.ai/mcp
- Gemini CLI: gemini mcp add --transport http reel-e https://www.reel-e.ai/mcp
- Cursor: add "reel-e": { "url": "https://www.reel-e.ai/mcp" } under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json
- VS Code: add "reel-e": { "type": "http", "url": "https://www.reel-e.ai/mcp" } under servers in .vscode/mcp.json

When it is connected, list my Reel-E listings to check it works. Setup help: https://www.reel-e.ai/docs/ai-assistants

The Microsoft Copilot app (copilot.microsoft.com) does not let you add outside connectors, so it cannot connect. Copilot Studio can.

How it works in one minute

1. You add Reel-E to your assistant using the address above. This is a one-time step, called adding a connector.
2. Your assistant opens a Reel-E sign-in page. You sign in, choose what it may do and press Allow.
3. Ask for what you want in plain language.

What it can and cannot do

Your assistant can look at your listings and videos, change the order of shots, the music, titles, text and branding, check your listing website and video stats, and start a new listing video.

Anything that uses a credit, publishes your website, or starts a new listing waits for your yes, unless you gave that connection permission to go ahead on its own. Every edit has an Undo.

It can give you the link to your finished video in Reel-E, where you download it. It cannot start a plan or change billing, or see other people's listings.

Photos

Add your photos the easiest way your assistant allows. In ChatGPT, attach them to the chat. In any assistant, paste your listing page link (Zillow, Redfin or a brokerage page) and Reel-E imports its photos, or open the Reel-E link the assistant gives you and drop your photos in from your computer or phone. In Claude Code and Cursor it can upload photos straight from a folder on your computer.

Questions

Does this cost extra? Connecting is free. Anything that uses a credit uses the same allowance as the Reel-E app, and asks you first unless you gave that connection full control.

Is my account safe? The assistant gets a limited permission you control and can revoke. Reel-E never shares your password.

Which assistant is best? The one you already use. The steps and results are the same.

Can I ask inside Reel-E instead? Yes. The AI Director is built into Keylight Studio and takes the same requests. See the AI Director and your own assistant, side by side.

Something looks wrong. Say "undo that" and the assistant puts the last change back, or open the listing in Reel-E and use History.

You stay in control

You decide what the assistant may do. On the sign-in screen, choose Full control, where it does the whole job without stopping, or Ask me first, where anything that uses a credit, publishes your website or starts a new listing waits for your yes in Reel-E. You can pick which listings it can reach. You can disconnect any time in Reel-E under Account settings, Profile, Connected apps, and the connection stops at once. Reel-E only shares what the assistant needs to do what you asked, and your assistant's maker handles it under their own terms.
