Clicking https://mcp.pika.me/api/mcp returns 'This MCP server does not
offer a standalone SSE stream. Tool-call notifications are delivered on
the per-request POST response stream.' — the endpoint is correctly
wired for MCP-over-HTTP-POST in the install snippets above, but isn't
useful as a clickable Links destination. Drop the bullet to stop sending
people to a confusing error page.
The install-surface section, badge, and per-client snippets remain
unchanged — those document the actual integration shape.
Public skills/ directory grew to 9 in commit ee60838 "Duplicate Pika
skills" (app-sizzle, app-store-screens, build-a-brand,
founder-product-video added alongside the original podcast, explainer,
ugc-ads, baseball-trend, kiss-cam), but the README, marketplace.json,
and all three plugin manifests still advertised 5 curated skills and
version 1.3.0.
Updates:
- README — version badge 1.3.0 → 1.4.0; install-surface table and §2/§3
headers + body 5 → 9; "Featured workflows" table extended from 5 to 9
rows with input/output/invoke for each new skill
- CHANGELOG — new [1.4.0] — 2026-05-22 section above [1.3.0] documenting
each new skill, the skill-count + version bumps, and a note that the
58-tool MCP surface is unchanged
- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json — version 1.4.0, descriptions, and
skills[] extended from 5 → 9 entries (stable order, originals first)
- .claude-plugin/plugin.json — version, description, keywords
- .codex-plugin/plugin.json — version, description, longDescription
(each new skill gets a one-liner inside the Codex `interface`), keywords
- .cursor-plugin/plugin.json — version, description, keywords, tags
Tool count stays at 58 atomic primitives (tools-manifest.json
unchanged); skill-audit intentionally not ported from internal (stays
internal-only).
* feat: v1.3.0 — Pika Creative Suite repositioning + cross-agent distribution
Brings Pika-Plugins forward to match the cross-agent reality. Same backend
(mcp.pika.me, 58 atomic tools), same 5 curated /pika:* skills, now positioned
and packaged for use beyond Claude Code.
Repositioning
- "Pikafy your Claude" -> "Pika Creative Suite — give any AI agent a face,
a voice, and a full creative studio." README hero, all plugin manifest
descriptions, and the marketplace metadata description aligned to this.
Structure / new files
- .cursor-plugin/plugin.json — native Cursor plugin manifest mirroring
the first-party shape used in cursor/plugins (category, tags, single-
string skills: "./skills/"). Lets Cursor pick up Pika via its own
plugin format.
- .codex-plugin/plugin.json — native Codex plugin manifest with
documented interface block (displayName, defaultPrompt capped at 3,
capabilities, brandColor, etc.).
- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json gains an explicit skills:[] array in
the canonical Anthropic string-array form ["./skills/<name>", ...]
matching anthropics/skills.
Manifest cleanups
- .claude-plugin/plugin.json description rewritten, version 1.2.3 ->
1.3.0.
- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json description rewritten, owner.url
added, plugin version bumped.
- All four manifests now agree on the Pika Creative Suite positioning,
the 58 canonical tool count, and the 5 skill set.
Tool surface
- tools-manifest.json re-vendored from pika-mcp-server with the current
58 canonical primitives plus the 9 deprecation aliases (sora_edit
mode discriminator, pika_* renames, edit_audio_denoise, etc.). 16
net new canonical tools since v1.2.3 — most prominently html_to_pdf,
the connect_* Composio trio, scrape_ads / scrape_social, web_publish,
analyze_clip_highlights.
README
- Full v3 rewrite: hero, 3 independent install surfaces (MCP /
Skills / Plugin) as parallel orthogonal mechanisms, install matrix
with per-client config shapes (Claude type:http vs Cursor bare url
vs Codex --url), Featured-workflows table linking to each SKILL.md,
Capabilities table for the 11 tool families summing to 58.
- 479 lines (Pikafy hero, prose-heavy) -> 220 lines (Pika Creative
Suite hero, table-driven). All claims fact-checked against
vercel-labs/skills source, cursor/plugins first-party manifests,
anthropics/skills canonical marketplace, and openai/codex plugin
docs.
* fix: add repository field to marketplace.json plugin entry
Codex review flagged this — the plugin entry inside marketplace.json
plugins[] lacked the canonical repository field. Aligns with the
top-level plugin.json which already has it.
Two other codex flags triaged as false positives:
- "parrot-staging/animate" in tools-manifest.json is the upstream
pika-mcp-server animation backend endpoint name (vendored verbatim
from pika-mcp-server@staging), not the staging plugin variant.
- "Pikafy your Claude" / "Pika-fy your Claude" in CHANGELOG.md v1.3.0
entry are intentional quoted references documenting what the entry
is RETIRING. Documenting history, not active usage.
New curated skill — viral fake "in-arena Kiss Cam moment" of any two
subjects (any visual style: photoreal humans, 3D toys, illustrated avatars).
Spectator-POV phone shot of the Madison Square Garden Jumbotron with retro
red kiss cam graphic + Knicks vs Bulls scoreboard baked into frame 0
(gpt-image-2), then a 15s kling-v3-omni clip first-frame-locked to the still
so the entire decorative UI stays pixel-static across all 15s — only the
two subjects inside the kiss cam panel animate. Native off-screen
PA-announcer commentary + packed-arena crowd reaction. No names, no chyron.
Engine choice mirrors baseball-trend: Kling-only on video (Seedance's
two-stage face-moderation gate rejects every in-arena reaction shot
because of the crowd faces), gpt-image-2 on still (sharpest LED detail +
strongest reference-likeness lock).
Skill doc follows the public baseball-trend SKILL.md structure
(Prerequisites / Stage 0 / Step 1-3 / Load-bearing phrases / Engine choice
/ Failure cheat sheet / What not to do), with one additive section
(Runtime expectations).
Plugin manifest + marketplace + README + CHANGELOG bumped 1.2.2 → 1.2.3
and "4 curated" → "5 curated".

1.3.0 was bumped for the cb0eb2b camera-position-anchor fix, but that
fix didn't actually work — gpt-image-2 kept rendering the camera in
the wrong position. The real fix landed in ad51ef1 (revert Step 1
to the pre-refactor verbatim prompt), which is a recipe patch, not
a minor feature change.
Renumbering: 1.2.0 → 1.2.2 (skipping 1.2.1 to absorb the cb0eb2b
intermediate version that briefly shipped as 1.3.0). The 1.2.x line
is now the canonical baseball-trend skill release; future fixes stay
in 1.2.x as patches.
- .claude-plugin/plugin.json: 1.3.0 → 1.2.2
- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json: 1.3.0 → 1.2.2
- README.md: version badge + verify-output snippet
- CHANGELOG.md: [1.3.0] section replaced with [1.2.2] capturing the
full fix story (failed scaffold-anchor attempts → verbatim revert)
Picks up the cb0eb2b camera-position fix as a minor release.
- .claude-plugin/plugin.json: 1.2.0 → 1.3.0
- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json: 1.2.0 → 1.3.0
- README.md: version badge + verify-output snippet
- CHANGELOG.md: new [1.3.0] entry documenting the camera-position lock
The Pika Claude Code plugin ships with three curated /pika:* skills
and 42 atomic MCP tools at https://mcp.pika.me/api/mcp:
- /pika:podcast — 1-minute two-host podcast video for any URL or topic
- /pika:explainer — ~60–80s explainer video for any URL
- /pika:ugc-ads — 15s creator-style multi-cut UGC ad in 9:16 vertical
Installs on every Claude Code surface — CLI and Desktop (macOS /
Windows app). The 42 atomic MCP tools also work with any other MCP
client (Claude.ai chat connectors, Cursor, Codex, etc.) at the raw
endpoint https://mcp.pika.me/api/mcp.
