Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Lipsync videos, dub them into other languages, make talking videos and open sync. Studio.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: SYNC_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: SYNC_API_KEY, SYNC_MCP_TOOLSETS

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet
  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker
SettingsConnectors1+ Create2https://…3
https://mcp.sync.so/mcp

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • SYNC_API_KEY secret env
    sync. API key from https://sync.so/settings/api-keys. Without one, the server starts a device login on first run.
  • SYNC_MCP_TOOLSETS env
    Comma-separated toolsets to list: default, lipsync, dubbing, assets, projects, transcription, voices, admin or all. Defaults to the hosted server's tools without deletes or voice cloning.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

The server asks you to sign in before it lists its tools.

Common questions

Is sync. labs safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: SYNC_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.4) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

sync. MCP server

Connect your AI agent to sync. to lip-sync videos, translate and dub them into other languages, clone voices, and manage assets and projects from a chat or a coding session.

sync. hosts this server at `https://mcp.sync.so/mcp`. You sign in with your sync. account, so there is nothing to install and no API key to copy. Every merge to this repository's main deploys there.

Connect your agent

ChatGPT

Open sync. in ChatGPT and connect your account. In ChatGPT, sync. Studio also opens inside the chat.

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop)
  1. Open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
  2. Name it sync. and set the URL to https://mcp.sync.so/mcp.
  3. Click Connect and sign in to sync.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http sync https://mcp.sync.so/mcp

Then run /mcp in Claude Code, select sync and sign in. Add --scope user to use it in every project.

Codex
codex mcp add sync --url https://mcp.sync.so/mcp

codex mcp login sync

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in a project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects:

{

"mcpServers": { "sync": { "url": "https://mcp.sync.so/mcp" } } }

Cursor asks you to sign in to sync. the first time it connects.

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{

"servers": { "sync": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.sync.so/mcp" } } }

Other clients

Any client that supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP with OAuth can use https://mcp.sync.so/mcp. The client registers itself, and you sign in to sync. in the browser.

The server is listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.synchronicity-labs/mcp-server, so clients and directories that read the registry can find and add it. server.json is that listing.

Local server with an API key

For clients without remote MCP support, and for scripts and CI, run the server locally over stdio with a sync. API key:

claude mcp add sync -e SYNC_API_KEY=your-api-key -- npx -y @sync.so/mcp-server@latest

Or in a client's JSON config:

{

"mcpServers": { "sync": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@sync.so/mcp-server@latest"], "env": { "SYNC_API_KEY": "your-api-key" } } } }

Without SYNC_API_KEY, the server starts a device login on first run: visit the URL it prints and enter the code. The token is cached at ~/.config/sync/mcp-credentials.json.

npm releases are published separately from the hosted deploy and can lag behind it, so prefer the hosted server when your client supports it. @latest makes npx fetch the newest release when the client restarts the server; without it, npx can keep running an old cached copy.

Update notice

At startup a local server asks the npm registry for the latest version, at most once a day (the answer is cached in ~/.config/sync/mcp-update-check.json). The check runs in the background with a two-second limit and never delays startup or a tool call; if it fails, nothing is shown. When a newer version exists, the server's instructions and the first tool result of the session tell the agent to ask you to restart with npx -y @sync.so/mcp-server@latest or switch to the hosted server.

To turn it off, set SYNC_MCP_UPDATE_CHECK=off or pass --no-update-check. It is also skipped when CI is set, and the hosted server never checks.

What to ask

Paste prompts like these into your agent. Asset IDs come from your sync. library. Links can be public media URLs or YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook videos.

AskWhat the agent does
"Lipsync video asset with audio asset ."lipsync_create with the saved assets, then waits for the result
"Lipsync https://example.com/talk.mp4 to https://example.com/voiceover.wav."lipsync_create with public URLs
"Translate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=… to Spanish."Imports the link with assets_create, quotes the cost, and after you confirm runs dubbing_create
"Make video asset say “thanks for watching” in a calm narrator voice."Picks a voice with voices_list, quotes the script, then lipsync_create with script
"How many credits do I have left?"account_get-usage
"What did my last generation cost?"Finds it in history and reads generations_get-costs

Translation, dubbing, speech previews and voice clones are quoted and confirmed with you before they start.

Agent skills

Step-by-step workflows for these tools (lipsync, talking photos, dubbing, Edit Dialogue, campaigns, batches, troubleshooting and the API) are agent skills in synchronicity-labs/skills. Install them in any agent with npx skills add synchronicity-labs/skills. The ChatGPT and Codex plugin ships them from a pinned commit of that repository; see docs/chatgpt-plugin.md.

Tools

The hosted server exposes a curated set of tools to every client:

AreaTools
Lip synclipsync_create, lipsync_create-timeline¹, generations_estimate-cost, generations_get, generations_list, generations_get-continuation, generations_get-costs, models_list
Translation and dubbingdubbing_create, dubbing_get-options, translation-previews_estimate, translation-previews_create, translation-previews_get

Projectsprojects_create, projects_get, projects_list, projects_list-generations, projects_rename
Batchesbatches_create², batches_get², batches_list²
Accountaccount_get-context, account_get-usage, organizations_list, organizations_select

¹ Not offered to the ChatGPT app, whose embedded Studio has no timeline.

² Not in the ChatGPT app listing yet. A batch runs 20 or more independent generations (500 per batch by default), such as one campaign video localized into many languages. Where the account's plan doesn't include batch, the API answers 402 with requiredPlan and billingUrl, which the tools pass on.

Organizations with the matching feature also get scenes_detect (camera cuts in a video) and stems_separate (vocals and background audio), outside the ChatGPT app. They are in the lipsync and assets toolsets locally.

Clients with app support also get the tools behind the embedded Studio app: Studio views and drafts, the upload widget and app helpers. Those are clients whose MCP handshake name selects the ChatGPT or Codex app profile (openai-mcp, openai-mcp (Codex); see src/client-profile.ts). Other clients don't see these tools, and their calls to them are refused.

Local toolsets

The local stdio server can also offer a tool for every other public API operation in the OpenAPI spec, 65+ in all. By default it lists the hosted set above, without its admin tools (assets_delete and voices_clone), plus jobs_get and jobs_wait and the transcriptions_* tools, whose speaker face tracks feed lipsync_create-timeline clips.

To list more, set SYNC_MCP_TOOLSETS or pass --toolsets with a comma-separated list:

ToolsetAdds
defaultThe default above, so default,admin adds the admin tools to it
lipsyncLip sync, timeline, Edit Dialogue, audio trim and batch tools, plus raw generate_*, generations_* and dialogue-edits_*
dubbingTranslation and dubbing tools, and the batch tools
assetsassets_* (except deletes) and the upload tools
projectsprojects_* (except deletes) and projects_rename
transcriptiontranscriptions_*
voicesvoices_* (except cloning and deletes), speech previews and tts_*
adminEvery delete (assets_delete, projects_delete, generations_delete, voices_delete) and voices_clone
allEvery tool, as before this option existed

Job, account and generation reads (jobs_get, jobs_wait, generations_get, account_get-context, organizations_list, organizations_select and similar) come with every selection. Naming toolsets replaces the default rather than adding to it. To get every tool back:

claude mcp add sync -e SYNC_API_KEY=your-api-key -e SYNC_MCP_TOOLSETS=all -- npx -y @sync.so/mcp-server@latest

Unless it lists everything, the server's instructions tell the agent which toolsets are listed and how to get the rest, so it can ask you to restart the server with a wider set. The hosted server ignores this setting.

Tool workflows describes how the multi-step and paid tools behave.

Tool names follow one _ scheme (lipsync_create, generations_get). The names used before it (create-lipsync, generate_get-generation) still work for a deprecation period: calls through them run the same tool and add a one-line notice naming the new one. Tool names has the full old → new table.

CLI Options

Usage: sync-mcp [options]

Options: --api-key API key (or set SYNC_API_KEY env var) --base-url API base URL (default: https://api.sync.so) --transport stdio (default) or http --port HTTP port (default: 3002, only with --transport http) --no-spend-confirmation Unattended automation: drop the cost-quote and confirm-before-paying instructions (or set SYNC_MCP_SPEND_CONFIRMATION=off) --no-update-check Skip the daily npm check for a newer version (or set SYNC_MCP_UPDATE_CHECK=off; skipped when CI is set) --toolsets stdio only: comma-separated tools to list (or set SYNC_MCP_TOOLSETS): default, lipsync, dubbing, assets, projects, transcription, voices, admin or all (default: the hosted set without admin) -h, --help Show this help message

Unattended automation

By default the tools tell the agent to quote a paid action and wait for the user's approval. When the server runs a pipeline or a scheduled agent whose operator has already approved spending, start it with --no-spend-confirmation (or SYNC_MCP_SPEND_CONFIRMATION=off). The agent then creates jobs without quoting or asking, and estimate tools stay available. Agents cannot change this setting.

Job tools take wait: true to wait on the server (up to about 50 seconds per call, with progress notifications when the client sends a progressToken): generations_get, translation-previews_get, transcriptions_get and social imports through assets_create. On the local server, jobs_wait and jobs_get do the same for every kind of job (generation, transcription, speaker analysis, translation preview, import) with one input, {kind, id, projectId?}, and one result shape and status set; see Jobs.

When the API offers it, feedback_send lets agents report confusing errors, wrong results and missing capabilities to the Sync team.
