HOW IT WORKS

A few lines to a transparent clip.

Post a video, poll or get a webhook, pull a signed link to the matte.

# submit a video
curl -X POST https://api.mattekit.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MATTEKIT_KEY" \
  -d '{"input_url":"https://…/clip.mp4","formats":["webm","prores"]}'
# → poll → outputs.webm (alpha) · outputs.prores (4444)
MCP & CLI

Plug mattekit into your agent.

One matting tool, three ways to wire it up. Set up in under a minute.

mattekit · ready
1

Copy the mattekit MCP URL

2

Add it in Settings → Connectors

Name it mattekit, paste the URL, connect your key.

3

Ask your agent

"Cut the background out of this video." That's it.

Headless agent (Claude Code, Codex)? The CLI is smoother. · GitHub ↗
WHAT YOU GET

Built for the pipeline, not the browser.

✦

Exports that actually key.

Transparent WebM/VP9, ProRes 4444, and HEVC-alpha for Safari/iOS. Straight alpha, correct on any background.

∞

Long-form, not 30-second clips.

Full ads, product videos, webinars — no per-clip length cap forcing you to chop footage first.

⌘

Async API, MCP & CLI.

POST a URL, poll or webhook, pull a signed link. Or hand it to an agent, or a shell script. Your call.

◷

Per minute, no subscription.

Pay only for the seconds you process, with a free preview on every video. No seats, no minimum.

PRICING

Pay per second of video.

Prepaid credits, metered per second, free preview per clip.
