runway-api is a plugin providing Claude Code (and compatible agent) skills for generating video, image, and audio content at scale via Runway's API, and for integrating Runway generation into server-side applications. According to the README, it supports video models including seedance2, gen4.5, gen4_turbo, gen4_aleph, veo3, and veo3.1, image models such as gen4_image and gemini_2.5_flash, and audio models for text-to-speech, sound effects, voice isolation, dubbing, and voice conversion. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other compatible agents, and requires a Runway developer account with prepaid credits ($10 minimum). The plugin offers both direct-generation skills (e.g., rw-generate-video, rw-generate-image, rw-generate-audio) and integration skills for frameworks like Next.js, Express, Fastify, FastAPI, Flask, Django, and serverless platforms (Vercel Functions, AWS Lambda, Cloudflare Workers). It also includes skills for real-time conversational avatars built on GWM-1.
