Automate product videos in n8n and Make with CartViral

Last updated: 24 September 2026

n8n and Make can both call MCP servers, so they can drive CartViral directly: point n8n's MCP Client Tool or Make's MCP Client app at https://app.cartviral.com/mcp with your CartViral API key as a Bearer token, then call the tools import_products, generate_clips and list_clips. A typical flow: new product in your store, import it, make clips, send the download links to Slack, Drive or your scheduler.

What you need

A free CartViral account (48 credits) and an API key from Account → AI agents.
n8n (cloud or self-hosted) or a Make account.

n8n

Add an AI Agent node (any chat model you already use).
Under its tools, add MCP Client Tool.
Endpoint: https://app.cartviral.com/mcp. Transport: HTTP Streamable.
Authentication: Bearer Auth with your CartViral API key (or Header Auth with Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY).
Tools to include: all, or just import_products, generate_clips, list_clips.

Example agent instruction for a "new product" trigger (Shopify, WooCommerce or a webhook):

Import this product URL into CartViral: {{ $json.product_url }}.
Make 2 AI story clips of it. Wait until they are ready,
then return the download links as a list.

Make

Add the MCP Client app to your scenario and create a connection.
Server URL: https://app.cartviral.com/mcp. Credential: your CartViral API key (Bearer / access token field).
Use Call a tool with import_products (argument url), then generate_clips, then poll list_clips until the clips are ready.
Send the links on: Slack, Google Drive, Airtable, email or your post scheduler.

Useful flows

Trigger	CartViral tools	Output
New product in the store	import_products → generate_clips → list_clips	2-3 clips per product, links in Slack or Drive
Every Monday	list_products (best CartViral score) → generate_clips	A weekly batch for your best sellers
New row in a sheet of brand URLs	bring_a_brand → list_pitches	Pitch pages for brands, who opened them
Creators: daily	list_offers → join_offer	New brand offers that match your filters

Costs and limits

Reading tools are free. Clips cost the same credits as in the web app: 1 for a montage, 4 for an AI story reel or ad, 10 for an avatar reel.
Up to 120 calls per minute per key. Clips render in a few minutes, so poll list_clips every 30-60 seconds rather than in a tight loop.
CartViral never posts to social media for you; your flow decides where the files go.
