Who it is forA creator who has built up work in a Flow project and wants a local copy before the project changes or runs out of space.

The problemWork made in Flow stays in the web project, and downloading each clip by hand or regenerating it costs time and credits.

The outcomeLocal copies of the project's media in ~/flow-mcp-out/, with each scene saved as one finished film and upscales included.

What you need first

  • macOS or Windows 10/11
  • Node.js 22 or newer
  • Google Chrome
  • A Google account (free tier gives 50 credits a day)
  • A display that stays awake during runs
  • FFmpeg (optional, only for joining clips, mixing music or recording narration)
  • A Google AI Studio key (optional, only for Google narration voices)

Steps

  1. Run git clone https://github.com/GTAI-1/flow-mcp.git, then cd flow-mcp, then npm install and npm run build.
  2. Run npm run login and open the Flow project you want to archive in the Chrome window.
  3. Run claude mcp add --scope user flow -- node /absolute/path/to/flow-mcp/dist/index.js and restart Claude Code.
  4. Ask the assistant to list the project's assets, then download them with the free download tool.
  5. Check ~/flow-mcp-out/ for the downloaded files.

Prompt for your agent

Using the flow-mcp repo at <repo-path>, list the assets in the open Flow project and download all videos and images with the free download tool, including the 1080p upscale where available. Expected output is local media files in ~/flow-mcp-out/ with one stitched film per scene. Verify that the credits remaining shown by flow_status did not drop during the download.

Caveat. Full-quality downloads depend on your Google plan, since the README says a paid plan unlocks 1080p downloads.
