Agent-first video creation, rebuilt around MCP.

InVideo has repositioned more aggressively than anything else in its category, moving from a template-driven video editor to an agent platform where you brief an agent and it assembles the video, with current third-party generation models behind it. A real multitrack editor sits underneath for when you need manual control. It ships a first-party hosted MCP server with an agents guide and a command-line interface, explicitly supporting Claude and Claude Code, which makes it one of the few video tools you can genuinely drive from an assistant. It achieved SOC 2 Type II certification in 2026. Pricing is per seat across three published tiers with a free plan, though a large discount is currently running on annual billing.

Our verdict

The most convincing agent-era rebuild in this category, and a genuine change rather than a chat box stapled to the old product: briefing an agent and getting an assembled video back is a different workflow to assembling one yourself. Having a real multitrack editor underneath matters, because the agent will get something wrong and you need to fix it without starting again. The first-party MCP server with a command-line interface and explicit Claude Code support puts it well ahead of most video tools on agent readiness. SOC 2 Type II is reassuring at this price point. Two things to budget for. Frontier model credit consumption is steep and genuinely hard to forecast, so model your real volume before committing to a tier. And the entry plan is deliberately limited, excluding the better generation models, so the tier most people would try is not the one the marketing describes. The annual discount currently running is large enough that the list prices are somewhat theoretical.

Best for: Teams producing a steady stream of social and explainer video who want to brief rather than edit.
