ViewMax MCP 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 14

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

generate
generate_image
Create an image generation task (text-to-image, or image-to-image when image_urls are provided). Pro/Ultra flagship models (GPT Image 2, GPT Image 2.5, Nano Banana 2, Grok Imagine) and Ultra ViewMax C1 cost 0 credits within the shared daily fair-use pool; otherwise this consumes credits. Call wait_for_task with the task_id for the result URLs.
generate_music
Create an original music track from a text prompt. Costs 60 credits for tracks up to 60 seconds, then 1 credit per second (duration_seconds defaults to 60); plan allowances do not cover music. Setting style sends prompt as the song's lyrics, so do not also send lyrics; to describe a track, put the description in prompt and omit style. Music renders synchronously: the result usually returns immediately with output_urls.
generate_sound_effect
Generate a sound effect from a text prompt. Costs 5 credits. Renders synchronously: the result usually returns immediately with output_urls.
generate_speech
Convert text to speech with a selected voice_id (see list_voices). Costs ceil(characters / 20) credits, minimum 1. Speech renders synchronously: the result usually returns immediately with output_urls.
generate_video
Create a video generation task and return its task_id. mode defaults to image-to-video when image_urls are given, else video-to-video when video_urls are given, else text-to-video. Omitted duration, resolution and aspect_ratio use the mode's defaults from get_video_model and are billed at those values. Ultra ViewMax C1 generations cost 0 credits within the daily fair-use pool (also via REST API); otherwise this consumes credits from the authenticated ViewMax account. Call wait_for_task with the task_id until it finishes.
image
get_image_model
Get full capabilities and credit pricing for one image model. Generating an image with this model consumes credits.
list_image_models
List available image models with their modes (text-to-image, image-to-image), aspect ratios, qualities, and credit labels. Image generation consumes credits.
video
get_video_model
Get full capabilities and credit pricing for one video model. Each mode lists durations, resolutions, aspect_ratios, audio_toggle, credits, and defaults: the duration, resolution and aspect_ratio that generate_video sends and bills when you omit them. max_prompt_length is present when the model limits prompt length. Generating a video with this model consumes credits.
list_video_models
List available video models and their capabilities. Video generation consumes credits; use get_video_model for detailed pricing and the values used when options are omitted.
credits
get_credits
Get the authenticated account's remaining credits. Generation consumes credits.
music
list_music_models
List available music models and their controls (duration, instrumental) and credit cost. Music costs 60 credits for tracks up to 60 seconds, then 1 credit per second.
task
get_task
Get the current status, output URLs and cost_credits for one of the authenticated user's tasks (video, image, music, or audio). Failed and canceled tasks include error_code and error_message; their credits are refunded automatically.
voices
list_voices
List available text-to-speech voices (id, name, gender, accent, language) and speech pricing: characters_per_credit and minimum_credits. A generation costs ceil(characters / 20) credits, minimum 1.
wait
wait_for_task
Wait up to timeout_seconds (1-50, default 45) for a task and return its latest status in the get_task shape. Some videos take several minutes: keep calling wait_for_task until status is success, failed, or canceled. Task results are persisted and never lost.

ViewMax MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can ViewMax MCP do?
It exposes 14 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: generate_image, generate_music, generate_sound_effect, generate_speech, generate_video, get_credits and 8 more. 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 →
What is ViewMax MCP mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around generate, video and image. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is ViewMax MCP 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 552 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect ViewMax MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does ViewMax MCP need an API key?
No. ViewMax MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 14 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is ViewMax MCP?
It answers our handshake in 552 ms on average, which is faster than 20% 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.
Is ViewMax MCP open source?
We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
