Turn scripts and product photos into Kling AI videos with Manus
Add your own Kling AI API key and use the Kling AI video generator from inside Manus. Manus breaks your idea into shots, writes the prompt for each one, generates them in batches and edits the result with its video tools. Each Kling clip is billed to your own Kling account, and Manus’s built-in video generation is still there when you need it.
Example results
Kling text to video from a one-line brief
Give Manus a selling point or a short story. It turns it into a Kling text to video prompt with subject, motion, camera and light, then calls the Kling text to video API for you.
Example results
Kling image to video for product photos
Upload a product photo or poster and say how it should move. Manus writes the Kling image to video prompt and sends your photo to the Kling image to video API as the first frame.

Storyboard to video with a Kling AI video agent
Paste a script and Manus splits it into a storyboard. Each shot is generated on its own with Kling, then the shots are joined in order into one cut.

Example results
Add your Kling AI API key to Manus
The Kling connector runs on your own Kling developer account. Add your Access Key and Secret Key once, and every Manus task can call Kling.
Get your keys on the Kling API platform
Sign in to the Kling developer console at kling.ai/dev with your Kling AI account and copy your Access Key and Secret Key. Video calls use the resource packages on that account.
Paste them into Manus
Open Connectors in Manus, choose Kling, paste both keys and select Connect. You only do this once.
Ask for a video in any task
Describe what you want to see. Manus writes the prompts, calls the Kling AI API with your keys and brings the clips back to the task.

Questions about the Kling AI API connector
How do I connect Kling AI to Manus?
Open Connectors in Manus and choose Kling. Paste the Access Key and Secret Key from your Kling developer console, then select Connect. Your Kling AI API key is saved once, and any task can use it.
Where do I get a Kling API key?
Go to the Kling API platform at kling.ai/dev and sign in with the same account you use for Kling AI. Your keys are in the developer console. For Kling API access, Kling asks you to buy a resource package, and it also offers a trial package for testing.
How much does the Kling API cost?
Kling API pricing is set by Kling. Each video is deducted from the resource packages on your own Kling account, and you can see the usage in the Kling console. For the current Kling API cost per video, check the Kling pricing page. The Manus task itself, such as writing prompts and editing, uses Manus credits as usual.
How is this different from Manus’s built-in video generation?
Manus video works right away, with no extra account. The Kling connector is for people who already have a Kling developer account and want their videos made with Kling models, on that account’s credits. You can use both.
Can I use Kling videos commercially?
That depends on Kling’s terms and the plan on your Kling account, not on Manus. Check the Kling API service terms before you publish.
Is this a Kling MCP server?
No. Manus connects to Kling through the official Kling AI API, using the API keys you add. You don’t install or run a Kling MCP server.
Do I need Claude, ChatGPT or Python to use the Kling AI API?
No. A “Kling AI MCP for Claude”, a “Kling Claude connector” or a “Kling Claude skill” has you set Kling up inside that tool yourself. “Kling ChatGPT” prompt tips cover the writing, and “Kling AI API Python” samples cover the request code. In Manus, you add your keys once and describe the video: Manus writes the prompts and makes the API calls.
Which video formats can I ask for?
With the Kling text to video API you can choose vertical, landscape or square. With text to video and image to video you can set the clip length. Tell Manus what you need and it sets the request. Kling’s API documentation lists the models your account can use.
