About Arcade
Arcade's AI video tool now works inside Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini via MCP.
Arcade's releases are almost all about AI video. The November release adds an Arcade MCP so users can create and edit videos from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and other assistants, with credit costs shown in the chat. It also adds 60 native voices in 15 more languages and one-click variations of a single video. In October, AI video got its own home and users could pick the model behind each video.
