## Questions people ask

### Can Poke edit videos?

Yes, once you connect Tella. Poke can't edit a video file by itself, but with the Tella MCP server it can cut clips by transcript, remove filler words and silences, add zooms, layouts, captions and B-roll, export, and publish to YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Instagram and Facebook.

### How do I connect Poke to Tella?

Go to poke.com/integrations/new, name it Tella, paste https://api.tella.com/mcp as the MCP Server URL, leave the API key empty and click Create Integration. Or run npx poke@latest mcp add https://api.tella.com/mcp -n Tella. Then sign in to Tella when Poke asks.

### Do I need an API key?

No. You sign in to Tella in your browser with OAuth and pick a workspace, and the agent never sees your password. Use an API key only for scripts, CI, or a client that can't open a browser.

### Can Poke change videos without asking?

Poke works with your Tella permissions in the workspace you pick, and only edits videos you can edit. Most agents ask before running a tool that changes something, and you can disconnect Tella at any time.

### Is it free?

The Tella MCP server is included on every plan, including the 7-day free trial with no credit card. Pro is $13 a month, billed annually. Auto Capture uses credits for each take.
