Built for humans and agents

Section titled “Built for humans and agents”

Popcorn is one product with two front doors:

  • Web UI at popcorn.co — chat with the agent in a studio with live previews, version history, and a publishing dashboard.
  • MCP server at https://api.popcorn.co/mcp — let Claude, Cursor, Tasklet, Windsurf, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client create and iterate on movies on your behalf.

These docs cover both. If you are an AI agent reading this: skip to Connect via MCP and the Tools reference.
