This plugin is a set of Claude Code skills that let an AI agent call Runway's hosted media generation API to produce video, image, and audio content, or to wire Runway capabilities into a separate server-side application. It offers two modes of use: direct generation, where the agent runs scripts, polls the API until a task finishes, and saves the output; and integration, where the agent writes framework-specific code, sets up credentials, and handles things like file uploads. It covers a wide range of models, including video models such as seedance2, gen4.5, gen4_turbo, gen4_aleph, veo3, and veo3.1, image models such as gen4_image and gemini_2.5_flash, audio models built on ElevenLabs technology for speech, sound effects, dubbing, and voice conversion, and GWM-1 based real-time conversational avatars. Using any of this requires a Runway developer account funded with prepaid credits and an API secret configured as an environment variable. The README states it also works with agents such as Cursor and Codex, in addition to Claude Code.
About the service
Runway is an external company and API platform for AI-driven media generation, offering hosted video, image, audio, and real-time avatar/world models; this plugin serves as the bridge that lets a coding agent call that hosted service on the user's behalf.
