Use it in ChatGPT
ChatGPT has no built-in video generation since OpenAI discontinued Sora. Creative Claw adds it back as a plugin: install it from the ChatGPT plugin directory, sign in, and ask for what you need in plain language. It renders video with Seedance 2.5, Gemini Omni, and MiniMax H3 Max, images with Nano Banana 2, and voiceovers with ElevenLabs or Cartesia, including a clone of your own voice.
What people make with it, with real costs from our published examples:
| What | Cost | Guide |
|---|
| Animate a still image into a 5-second 1080p clip | 146 credits ($1.46) | Animate an image |
| 15-second vertical product ad with 3 shots, voiceover, and captions | 461 credits ($4.61) | Product video ads |
| UGC-style ad with a talking presenter holding your product | 294 credits ($2.94) | UGC video ads |
| Four-scene short film with the same character in every scene | 569 credits ($5.69) | Multi-scene films |
| On-brand Instagram posts, Story, and an 8-second Reel | 288 credits ($2.88) | Social media content |
| Product photo set plus a product video from one image | 288 credits ($2.88) | Product photos |
| Clone your voice and narrate in 40+ languages | Clone is free; a 15-second voiceover is a few credits | Clone your voice |
| Weekly posts and a Reel from a ChatGPT dot | 256 credits ($2.56) a week | ChatGPT dots |
Short video walkthroughs of each are on YouTube.
What You Get
MCP Server
One connection to Creative Claw's MCP server gives the skills live model discovery plus media generation, editing, brand, asset, Character, Film, and feedback tools:

| Feedback | submit_feedback |
| Cost and account | estimate_generation, manage_account; get_credits_balance where the client exposes it |
Current image, video, speech, music, and sound-effect models (Nano Banana 2, GPT Image 2.5, Seedream 5 Pro, Seedance 2.5, Gemini Omni, MiniMax H3 Max, ElevenLabs, Cartesia, and more) through one account with pay-as-you-go pricing. The live catalog comes from list_models.
Skills (Creative Workflows)
The creativeclaw root skill routes mixed or unclear requests, account questions, and the curated examples catalog. Sixteen focused outcome skills own image, video, voice, music, and sound-effect generation; Characters and avatars; planning, Films, product photoshoots, and UGC ads; editing existing media (cuts, reframing, captions, audio, intros and outros); long-video Reels; explicit HTML rendering; and feedback. Model guides are packaged as references inside the outcome skills that use them; there are no per-model skills.
Every OpenAI skill declares the ChatGPT MCP dependency at https://app.creativeclaw.co/mcp/chatgpt, matching the endpoint configured in the plugin draft. A focused skill can therefore activate directly without losing access to Creative Claw's tools.
Supported Models
Recommended image models
Default to Gemini 3.1 Flash (Nano Banana 2) for most image generation and editing. It is the most cost-efficient recommendation overall, balancing quality, speed, and cost; use a specialist model only when its specific strength matters.
| Model | Creative Claw ID | Best use |
|---|
| Nano Banana 2 | image/nano-banana-2 | Default and cost-efficient choice for most generation and editing |
| GPT Image 2.5 Flare | image/gpt-image-2.5-flare | Fast, high-quality everyday OpenAI image generation and editing |
| GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst | image/gpt-image-2.5-sunburst | Complex professional assets, typography, transparency, and tightly controlled edits |
| Seedream 5 Pro | image/seedream-5-pro | Premium product, fashion, and commercial imagery |
Recommended video models
| Model | Creative Claw ID | Best use |
|---|
| Gemini Omni | video/gemini-omni-flash | Default general video, native audio, references, and source-video work |
| Seedance 2.5 | video/seedance-2.5 | Premium cinematic, longer, reference-rich work; 480p for cheaper previews |
| MiniMax H3 Max | video/minimax-h3-max | Fast cinematic native-audio clips and multimodal references |
| H3 Max Fast | video/minimax-h3-max-turbo | Cheap, fast drafts and iteration |
Recommended speech
Use speech/elevenlabs-v4 by default for narration, dialogue, emotional delivery, and multilingual speech. Use speech/xai-tts when its 28 built-in voices, exact inline/wrapping performance tags, or G.711 telephony output are the better fit. Creative Claw can also design a new synthetic voice from a description, or clone a consenting speaker's voice onto a Character (Cartesia by default, ElevenLabs on request). Change the voice in an existing recording with speech/cartesia-voice-changer.
Use list_models and get_model_params at runtime rather than assuming a fixed catalog or reference limit.
Install
Grok Bot and Cursor
Creative Claw is packaged for the Cursor Marketplace used by Grok Bot's plugin system. After marketplace approval, open Settings → Plugins → Marketplace in Grok Bot or Customize → Plugins in Cursor, search for Creative Claw, install it, and complete browser authentication on the first tool call.
For local Cursor testing before publication, symlink the plugin directory and reload Cursor:
ln -s /path/to/creative-claw-marketplace/plugins/creative-claw ~/.cursor/plugins/local/creative-claw
Hermes Agent
Hermes supports the Creative Claw hosted MCP directly. Run:
hermes mcp add creative-claw --url https://app.creativeclaw.co/mcp --auth oauth
hermes mcp login creative-claw
Or use the one-click Add to Hermes link on a machine with Hermes installed. The portable plugin.json and mcp.json in the plugin root also make the package compatible with Agent Plugins v1 clients. Until Hermes supports OAuth login for plugin-supplied MCP entries, the two hermes mcp commands above are the reliable installation path.
OpenClaw
Creative Claw includes a native OpenClaw manifest, the consolidated skill, and ClawHub package metadata. Once the package is published to ClawHub, install it with:
openclaw plugins install clawhub:@creativeclaw/plugin
openclaw plugins enable creative-claw
openclaw mcp login creative-claw
openclaw gateway restart
The first login opens Creative Claw's OAuth flow; no API key needs to be copied into a config file.
Agent skills (npx skills)
The canonical cross-client skill remains in the standard repository layout, so skill-directory users can install it directly:
npx skills add CreativeClawCo/creative-claw-marketplace
The OpenAI Store installs the shared ChatGPT/Codex plugin and skill bundle separately; Store users do not need this command.
Claude Code
# 1. Add the marketplace
claude plugin marketplace add CreativeClawCo/creative-claw-marketplace
# 2. Install the plugin
claude plugin install creative-claw@creative-claw-marketplace
# 3. Authenticate — on first use, the MCP server will prompt you to sign in via Clerk OAuth
That's it. The plugin connects to Creative Claw's MCP server and installs the consolidated creativeclaw workflow skill.
Claude Desktop
Add to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"creative-claw": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://app.creativeclaw.co/mcp"
}
}
}
No API keys needed — auth is handled via Clerk OAuth on first connection.
Glama / Directory Introspection
The glama-mcp/ directory provides a lightweight stdio MCP wrapper for Glama.ai directory compatibility. This wrapper exposes 9 core tool descriptions for discovery (how_to_connect, generate_image, generate_video, generate_speech, list_models, get_model_params, check_job, list_characters, get_credits_balance) that guide users to connect to the full production MCP server at https://app.creativeclaw.co/mcp.
The Glama wrapper does not perform actual generation—it serves as a directory entry point. To use Creative Claw's full generation capabilities, connect to the production HTTP MCP server as described above.
Run locally:
cd glama-mcp && npm install && npm start
Build Docker image:
docker build -t creative-claw-glama .
docker run -i creative-claw-glama
Quick Start
Talk to the host naturally:
"Generate a product photo of my headphones on a marble surface, golden hour lighting"
-> creativeclaw routes to its image workflow, picks the model, and generates
"Make a 15-second cinematic video of coffee being poured in slow motion"
-> creativeclaw routes to its video workflow, generates a reference image, then the video
"Edit this image — change the background to a beach sunset, keep the person unchanged"
-> creativeclaw routes to an edit model, preserves identity, swaps background
"Set up our brand — here's our website"
-> creativeclaw extracts colors/fonts/logos, uploads the assets, and saves a reusable theme
"I need a TikTok-style product video for this shoe" [attach image]
-> the UGC workflow plans the ad, creates reference frames, selects video and voice models, and assembles a first cut
"Create a reusable presenter from this portrait and clone my voice; I confirm it is mine"
-> the Character and consent-gated ElevenLabs voice-cloning workflows create and audition the reusable identity
"The video tool ignored my end frame—please report it"
-> the feedback workflow submits one actionable bug report with the attempted task and tool
Architecture

Maintaining the two distributions
Edit the canonical skill once under plugins/creative-claw/skills/creativeclaw. Put only ChatGPT-specific routing differences in skill-variants/chatgpt/, then build the OpenAI package:
node scripts/build-openai-plugin.mjs
That writes one plugin ZIP under the Git-ignored output/openai/ folder, which is what the OpenAI portal takes. ./scripts/build-skill-zips.sh still builds the Claude skill download (creativeclaw-skill.zip) and the per-skill archives used by local evals, under output/chatgpt-skills/. The marketplace source stays focused on direct installs, and generated ZIPs stay local. Nothing in the build publishes or submits a plugin draft.

FAQ
Can ChatGPT make videos?
Not on its own since Sora was discontinued. With the Creative Claw plugin, ChatGPT can generate video with Seedance 2.5, Gemini Omni, and MiniMax H3 Max. A 5-second clip starts at 40 credits ($0.40).
How much does Creative Claw cost?
There is no subscription. $10 buys 1,000 credits, new accounts get 100 free credits, an image costs 16 credits, and a 15-second product ad with voiceover and captions cost 461 credits ($4.61) in our example.
Can Creative Claw clone my voice?
Yes. Record or upload a short sample of your own voice (or one you have permission to use), and Creative Claw saves it as a reusable Character with Cartesia or ElevenLabs. Use it to narrate videos in 40+ languages.
How is it different from Runway or HeyGen in ChatGPT?
Creative Claw is one pay-as-you-go account for several providers' models (Seedance, Gemini Omni, MiniMax, Nano Banana, ElevenLabs, Cartesia) rather than one vendor's models, and it includes brand themes, reusable Characters, voice cloning, and multi-shot assembly. There is no monthly plan to buy first.
Does it work with ChatGPT dots?
Dots use the plugins you connect in their Customize → Plugins settings. If Creative Claw is listed for your account, connect it there and give your dot recurring jobs such as weekly posts and a Reel. See the dots guide.
Which clients does it support?
ChatGPT, Codex, Claude (Code, Desktop, and web), Cursor, Grok Bot, Hermes Agent, and OpenClaw, all through the same account and MCP server at https://app.creativeclaw.co/mcp.
