MCP ServerPika Labs MCP Server - text-to-video, image-to-video, Pikaffects
check: npx https://pika.art/docs
Status (2026-07-29): no npx/uvx-installable MCP server exists for Pika — the package previously referenced here was never published. Pika's official MCP is remote-HTTP with browser OAuth only (https://mcp.pika.me), incompatible with stdio.
Pika 2.x video generation MCP server. Fast iteration with stylized presets and Pikaffects (object-level transformations). Strong for stylized social ads.
