Here is the shortest path to try it, with no card.</p> <ol> <li>Add the connector. In Claude: Settings &gt; Connectors &gt; Add custom connector, name it Kleo, paste <a href="https://mcp.kleooai.com/mcp" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://mcp.kleooai.com/mcp</a>, sign in to Kleo. Claude Code: <code>claude mcp add --transport http kleo https://mcp.kleooai.com/mcp</code>, then /mcp and authenticate. Setup for ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex and OpenCode is at kleooai.com.</li> <li>Paste this brief into your assistant: "Use Kleo to plan a 20-second animatic about a paper boat returning to its maker. Animation look, English narration, 9:16. Show me the treatment, confirm that the product is an animatic, and check the exact credit cost against my available balance. Wait for my approval before rendering. Do not start a paid film or buy credits."</li> <li>Read the treatment, change anything you want, then approve. The starter balance (5 credits) covers one animatic.</li> </ol> <p>What is rough: sign-in is required, rendering takes a while, and full films are paid. I'd love feedback on where the first run confused you.</p> ai mcp claude tutorial
