bitHuman missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

characters
list_characters
List the bitHuman house characters that can speak. Each has an id (pass it as `character` to make_character_video or talk_to_character), a name, a short description, a picture URL and `talk` (true when talk_to_character is open for it). No arguments, free and read-only; one call per conversation is enough. Only these characters can speak: real people, photos and custom voices are not supported.
make
make_character_video
Make a short video of one bitHuman house character saying `text` word for word, in its own voice. Returns video_url (an MP4 that plays inline and expires after 7 days), duration_seconds and share_url, labelled AI character. Example: {"character": "wise-pup", "text": "Welcome back! Ready for today's lesson?"}. Limits: `text` is 3 to 200 characters and at most 19 seconds when spoken (about 15 s is typical); one video at a time per user; 10 videos per user per UTC day; the same character and text again replays the earlier clip at once. Errors come back as isError with one sentence saying what to do: an unknown character (call list_characters), text too short or too long (rewrite it), personal information such as a phone number, email or street address (remove it), busy (retry in a minute), the daily limit (try again after 00:00 UTC), resting (try later). To hold a conversation in character, write each reply yourself and call this tool once per reply.
talk
talk_to_character
Open a live voice conversation with one bitHuman house character in a player in the chat. The user presses Start and speaks through the microphone; the character answers out loud. A conversation lasts up to 60 seconds (max_seconds), then ends by itself; call again for another. Returns session_url: when the host shows no player, give the user that link. Example: {"character": "wise-pup"}. Needs a microphone in the user's browser. Errors come back as isError: an unknown character (call list_characters and use an id whose `talk` is true), resting (live conversations are off right now; make_character_video still works).

bitHuman — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can bitHuman do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: list_characters, make_character_video, talk_to_character. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is bitHuman working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 571 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did bitHuman ever remove tools?
Yes. report_widget_capabilities is no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
How do I connect bitHuman?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does bitHuman need an API key?
No. bitHuman completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is bitHuman?
It answers our handshake in 571 ms on average, which is faster than 22% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
