PixelDirector CLI for AI Agents

Have an idea? Let your Agent make the video.

Connect Codex or another AI Agent to PixelDirector's hosted production workspace. One setup prompt installs the CLI and Skill, registers the MCP server, and authorizes remote project and media generation.

Connect in three steps

Your Agent gets the whole production desk.

01

Install and connect

Copy the setup prompt

Send this prompt to your AI Agent. The installer detects Codex, Claude Code, and Qoder, downloads the versioned remote Skill with SHA-256 verification, and registers the MCP server in every supported client found.

Please install PixelDirector CLI: https://pixeldirector.dev/pixeldirectorCLI-setup-en.md
Connect to https://pixeldirector.dev. Let the installer open the browser so I can sign in and authorize this Agent. After installation, load the $pixeldirector-video-creation Skill, run npx -y pixeldirector@latest doctor first, then continue creation by following the PixelDirector Skill. Use alibaba/happyhorse-1.1 as the default video-generation model unless I explicitly request another model.

02

Remote authorization

Generate an Agent API key

Sign in to PixelDirector and create a dedicated key for your Agent. The key gives the CLI access to your hosted projects and media workflows and is shown only once.

03

Direct the production

Say what video you want

Describe the goal, duration, style, key story beats, source material, and delivery requirements as you would in a normal conversation.

Example brief

Use PixelDirector to make a 30-second story video about a little robot living on a city rooftop. During a blackout, it finds a glowing seed and carries it through the dark to a lost girl downstairs. Keep the story warm with a touch of fantasy: establish the blackout and robot in the first five seconds, show the obstacles in the middle, and end with the city lighting up again. Create the project first, then follow the PixelDirector Skill through full video production. When it is complete, give me the project link and final video.

What happens after connection

The Agent advances the real project, stage by stage.

01

Turn the idea into a project

Natural-language intent becomes a project that can be inspected, continued, and revised without preparing a complete script first.

02

Build storyboards and assets

The PixelDirector Skill coordinates storyboards, video shots, voice, music, subtitles, and editorial work inside the same production.

03

Read verified progress

When you ask for an update, the Agent reads the project's actual status, materials, and export conditions before it answers.

04

Deliver the finished result

Once production is ready, the Agent advances export and reports the project link, final video, and current delivery state.

Remote Agent production is ready

Copy once. Create from Codex.

PixelDirector's hosted workspace, CLI, Skill, and MCP connection all operate on the same remote projects.
