Connect any AI service to PandaStudio with MCP

PandaStudio can connect to any service that runs an MCP server, not just the ones it ships with, so you are never waiting on us to add the provider you want.

The connector list in PandaStudio starts with services we have set up for you, like Higgsfield, HeyGen, Replicate, ElevenLabs, Canva, Figma, Notion and Dropbox. Add custom connector opens that list up: give it a name and the service's MCP address and its tools appear in your agent next to PandaStudio's own, so you can ask for a voice, an image or a file in the same sentence as the edit. It works with anything that speaks MCP, including a server you run yourself. Some services sign you in through your browser, others give you a key to paste; both are covered below.

In the app

  1. 1In PandaStudio, open Settings, then Integrations, then Browse connectors.
  2. 2Click Add custom connector at the top right of the list.
  3. 3Give it a name and paste the service's MCP server address, then press Add.
  4. 4Press Connect on the new card. If the service uses a browser sign-in, finish it there; the card turns green when it is connected.
  5. 5Ask your agent for it by name, for example: narrate this with my VocalLab voice.

Ask the AI

Open the AI chat in the editor and say any of these. The agent does the edits for you.

“Which connectors do I have set up?”
“Narrate this script with my VocalLab voice and put it under the video.”

Examples

VocalLab voices

VocalLab gives you an API key, which goes in the address itself. Get the key from VocalLab's MCP setup page, then paste this as the server address, with your own key in place of the placeholder:

https://mcp.vocallab.ai/mcp?key=vl_live_YOUR_KEY

Once connected you can ask the agent to list your VocalLab voices and narrate with the one you want.

A service that signs you in instead

Many MCP servers use a browser sign-in rather than a key. Paste the plain address with nothing after it, press Connect, and finish the sign-in in the browser window that opens:

https://mcp.example.com/mcp

A server you run yourself

A server on your own machine works too, over plain http on localhost:

http://localhost:3000/mcp

Everywhere else an https address is required, so a key is never sent unencrypted.

CLI & MCP

Every capability is a verb, reachable from the terminal or from an MCP agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Continue, Claude Desktop).

Read-only: shows every connector and whether it is connected. Adding one is done in Settings, by you, never by an agent.
