Connect your AI
Rushilo has no AI of its own. It works with the one you already use.
Claude Code
- Install Claude Code and sign in with your Claude plan.
- In Rushilo, choose Connect agent. Under Claude Code, copy the command and run it once in a terminal. It adds Rushilo as an MCP server named rushilo.
- Keep Rushilo open, start Claude Code, and describe the edit you want. It sees your timeline and frames and edits while you watch. It uses your own plan; nothing goes through us.
Codex
- Install the Codex CLI and sign in with your ChatGPT plan.
- In Rushilo, choose Connect agent. Under Codex, copy the config and add it to ~/.codex/config.toml.
- Keep Rushilo open, start Codex, and describe the edit. It uses your own plan; nothing goes through us.
Claude Desktop, Cursor and other MCP apps
- In Rushilo, choose Connect agent and copy the MCP JSON under Claude Desktop, Cursor and other MCP apps.
- Paste it into that app's MCP settings and restart the app.
- Keep Rushilo open while the agent works, then ask it to edit your project.
Your own API keys
- In Rushilo, open Settings and find Your AI keys. This is optional.
- Paste a key for a provider such as OpenAI, Groq, ElevenLabs or Google Gemini and save it.
- Rushilo uses it for captions, voiceovers and images, calling the provider straight from your computer. Your provider bills you directly.
Captions on this computer
- In Rushilo, open Settings and choose the On this computer tab.
- Download Whisper base to transcribe captions on the device.
- Your media never leaves your computer, and it costs nothing to run.
