The agent writes the script
A blank script box is where most creators stall. Here you give a topic; the agent grounds a hook-driven script in a real breakout from your niche and your own best-performing patterns.
Make videos from a chat — the agent writes the script
Connect ViralMint to Claude Code or Cursor and drive the whole pipeline with one prompt. The agent researches what's already going viral in your niche, writes the hook-driven script for you, and renders the finished short. Free, open-source, and it all runs on your machine.

A voice memo, a podcast segment, a riff recorded on your phone — Claude stages it, ViralMint transcribes it locally with Whisper, and the video is built around your audio: word-timed captions, b-roll matched to what you're saying, optional music.

Why skills, not just a UI
Open, local, free
Other agent video tools paywall their skills and run in their cloud. ViralMint's are open-source (AGPL), run on your machine, and bill per render at roughly cost — your footage never leaves your computer.
The whole pipeline, one message
Research → script → voice → captions → render → multi-platform export, end to end, from a single chat prompt. No clicking through screens, no copy-pasting between tools.
Frequently asked
What is a ViralMint skill?
A one-prompt workflow that drives ViralMint's MCP server from an agent like Claude Code or Cursor. You ask in plain language and the agent runs the whole pipeline against the app on your machine.
Do skills make better videos, or just faster ones?
Better. The agent researches what's already going viral in your niche, extracts the proven hook, and writes an original script grounded in that data plus your own best-performing patterns — so you never start from a blank page.
What does it cost?
The app and MCP server are free and open-source. Renders bill against a prepaid balance at roughly provider cost plus a small margin — no subscription, no watermark.
Which agents can run them?
Any MCP-aware client — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and others. The in-app MCP page gives you a ready-to-paste command and JSON config.
