Sora Integration

Overview

RecCall integrates with Sora AI to provide persistent context and knowledge management for AI-powered code generation and assistance. Your project standards, architectural decisions, and coding patterns are automatically available in every Sora interaction.

✨ Key Benefits

Code Generation Context: Sora generates code that follows your project's patterns and standards
Architecture Awareness: Generated code considers your system architecture and dependencies
Consistent Style: Maintain coding style consistency across all AI-generated code
Knowledge Persistence: Project knowledge persists across sessions and conversations

Integration Methods

🔄

MCP Integration (Primary - Recommended)

Full-featured integration with core engine

Connect Sora to RecCall via MCP HTTP transport for full access to ML-powered contexts, unified storage, semantic search, and all core engine features for video prompts.

1

Install RecCall

First, ensure RecCall is installed globally:

npm install -g reccall

Or use the automated installer:

curl -sfL https://reccaller.ai/install.sh | sh -

2

Start MCP HTTP Server

RecCall MCP server runs HTTP transport by default on http://localhost:3000/mcp:

# Default: both stdio (Cursor) and HTTP (browser) enabled
reccall-mcp

# Or HTTP-only mode
reccall-mcp --http-only

# Custom port
reccall-mcp --http-port 8080
                    

Verify: You should see "RecCall MCP HTTP server running on http://localhost:3000/mcp"

3

Install Browser Extension (MCP Client)

The Sora browser extension now uses MCP client to connect to the HTTP server:

Download Extension: Extension files in src/adapters/sora/extension/
Load Extension:
- Open Chrome/Edge → chrome://extensions/
- Enable "Developer mode"
- Click "Load unpacked"
- Select src/adapters/sora/extension/
Extension Configuration: The extension automatically connects to http://localhost:3000/mcp

Benefits: Extension uses RecCall's core engine via MCP, giving you full access to ML-powered contexts, unified storage, and semantic search for video prompts.

4

Use Video Context Shortcuts (via MCP)

With MCP integration, you get access to all RecCall features:

Record Video Prompts: Save video generation prompts via MCP tools
Call Contexts: Inject saved prompts into Sora interface
ML-Powered Contexts: Create dynamic contexts from video generation sessions
Semantic Search: Find video prompts by meaning, not just keywords
Unified Storage: All prompts stored in core engine, synced across platforms
Clipboard Detection: Auto-detect and save prompts from clipboard

# Example MCP workflow:
Start MCP server: reccall-mcp
Extension connects to http://localhost:3000/mcp
Create video context: Extension calls MCP tool 'rec_context_create'
Search contexts: Use semantic search via MCP for video styles
Inject prompt: Extension calls 'rec_context_get' and injects into Sora
                    

Storage: All video prompts stored in RecCall's core engine (filesystem), accessible from any platform.

Use Cases

🎨 Video Style Templates

Save and reuse video generation styles consistently. Create templates for specific moods, visual effects, or cinematic techniques that you use frequently.

🎬 Production Workflows

Streamline video production workflows by saving common prompts for different phases (concept, storyboard, final production) or different project types.

📚 Learning from Past Work

Save successful video prompts as shortcuts. Reuse cinematic styles, shot compositions, and video patterns that worked well in previous generations.

🎨 Style Consistency

Maintain consistent visual styles across video generations. Save and reuse prompts for specific moods, color palettes, and cinematic techniques.

Best Practices

📝 Create Focused Prompts

Save specific video prompts for different styles (e.g., "cinematic-sunset", "documentary-style", "animated-explainer") rather than generic prompts. This improves reusability.

🏷️ Use Descriptive Names

Name your video contexts descriptively (e.g., "product-demo-style", "nature-documentary", "urban-time-lapse") to quickly identify and reuse them.

🔄 Save Successful Prompts

When a video generation produces great results, immediately save the prompt as a shortcut. This builds your library of proven video generation patterns.

📋 Use Clipboard Detection

Enable clipboard monitoring to automatically detect when you copy video prompts from other sources. The extension will suggest saving them as shortcuts.

Configuration Options

Extension Permissions

The extension requires the following permissions:

activeTab: Access to the current OpenAI tab for UI injection
storage: Save and load video prompts locally in the browser
clipboardRead: Monitor clipboard for video prompt detection
clipboardWrite: Copy prompts to clipboard

Browser Compatibility

The extension is compatible with:

✅ Google Chrome (Manifest V3)
✅ Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based)
✅ Brave Browser
⚠️ Firefox (requires Manifest V2 conversion)

Troubleshooting

Extension Not Loading

Issue: Extension doesn't appear after installation.

Solution: Ensure "Developer mode" is enabled in Chrome extensions page. Check browser console for errors. Verify the extension directory path is correct.

RecCall Button Not Visible

Issue: The RecCall button doesn't appear on OpenAI website.

Solution: Refresh the OpenAI page. Check that the extension is enabled. Verify you're on https://openai.com or https://chat.openai.com (not a different domain). Ensure you're on the Sora video generation page.

Clipboard Detection Not Working

Issue: Clipboard monitoring doesn't detect video prompts.

Solution: Check that clipboard permissions are granted. Ensure the content contains video-related keywords. Try copying text again - detection runs every 2 seconds.
