Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check AlertForge every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

plan
plan_alert_pack
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Free to call -- prices a proposed AI Alert pack WITHOUT spending any credits or creating anything. Supports a single alert, a handful, or the full set of 7: pass `alerts` with only the keys you want (e.g. one entry to create just one alert), or omit `alerts` entirely for the full 7-alert pack. Requires `characterImageUrl` -- your own uploaded/generated character (see generate_alert_character). Returns a planId (valid 24 hours, single-use) plus the exact credit cost -- show that to the user and get confirmation before calling create_alert_pack with this planId.
plan_design_sheet
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. The FIRST step for any new overlay pack -- prices the pack's shared Style Sheet (design sheet) WITHOUT spending any credits or creating anything. AlertForge's own web builder always asks the streamer these SAME 3 questions, in this order, before generating anything -- ask the USER these exact questions and pass their answers; never invent a theme yourself: (1) "What is your channel name? We use it where your logo or wordmark needs text. Letters, numbers, spaces, - and _ (max 20)." -> channelName. (2) "What should represent your channel? Describe the logo, mascot, character, or symbol you want." -> logoOrCharacterBrief. (3) "What should the overall style feel like? Describe the world, mood, visual style, and any preferred colours." -> themeAndColorsBrief. Returns a planId (valid 24 hours, single-use) plus the exact credit cost -- show that to the user, then call create_design_sheet with this planId. Scenes cannot be planned until the resulting Style Sheet has rendered (get_pack_status) AND been approved (approve_design_sheet).
plan_overlay_pack
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Normalizes and prices scenes to add to a DESIGN-APPROVED project WITHOUT spending any credits or creating anything. Requires `projectId` from a project whose Style Sheet has been approved via approve_design_sheet -- every scene inherits that project's approved look (visual identity comes entirely from the Style Sheet; there is no theme/reference input here anymore). Calling this without a valid approved projectId returns a structured `design_sheet_required` error (with the product's 3 onboarding questions and the exact tool sequence to follow) instead of guessing a theme -- see plan_design_sheet. Returns a planId (valid 24 hours, single-use) plus the exact credit cost and a human-readable summary -- SHOW that summary and cost to the user and get their confirmation before calling create_overlay_pack with this planId. Call list_scene_kinds first to see which scene kinds are creatable -- including alert-pack, which crops the identity from this project's Style Sheet and creates the selected production overlay alerts, plus the four sheet-pack kinds (panel-pack, label-pack, sub-badge-pack, emote-pack): each sheet kind renders ONE themed sheet and crops it into individual tile PNGs (a Twitch panel set, activity-feed labels, subscriber badges, or channel emotes) -- pass per-tile overrides via `tileTexts` on that scene entry; list_scene_kinds' `tileInputs` reports each kind's exact slot count and whether labels are locked to fixed vocabulary.
plan_style_sheet_character_edit
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Free to call. Prices a character-region change on an existing Style Sheet WITHOUT spending credits. Use mode=edit for a small change to the same character; use mode=redesign when replacing it with a new character while preserving the rest of the Style Sheet pixel-for-pixel. Returns a single-use 24-hour plan and exact cost; show the quote and obtain confirmation before create_style_sheet_character_edit.
plan_transparent_video
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Free to call -- prices a single transparent WebM video (a plain animated clip, NOT an AI Alert -- no character chroma-plate, no OBS alert wiring) WITHOUT spending credits or creating anything. Returns a planId (valid 24 hours, single-use) plus the exact credit cost for the chosen model tier -- show that to the user and get confirmation before calling create_transparent_video with this planId.
alert
create_alert_pack
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Spends credits. Consumes a plan from plan_alert_pack and creates its alert(s). Requires an active AlertForge subscription (checked at this step, not at planning) -- fails with 'subscription_required' otherwise. Calling this again with the same planId after it already succeeded is safe -- it returns the same pack rather than creating a second one or charging twice. A single failed alert does not fail the whole call -- check each entry's `error` field in the result. Returns immediately, before any alert has rendered -- call get_alert_pack_status afterward to check progress. Timing varies by model, queue, processing route, and provider demand.
get_alert_character_status
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Free to call. Read-only poll for a character generation started by generate_alert_character -- call it every few seconds until status is 'completed' (with a usable `path`/`url`) or 'failed' (reserved credits are returned to the wallet automatically on failure).
get_alert_pack_status
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Free to call. Read-only -- unlike get_pack_status, this does NOT advance anything (the render worker progresses these on its own schedule, outside this call). Reports each alert's current status (queued/running/succeeded/failed), its result WebM URL once done, its OBS overlay URL, and its credit cost. Poll at a reasonable interval until every alert reaches a terminal state; provider timing varies.
list_alert_types
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Free to call. Lists the 7 AI Alert types (follow, sub, donation, bits, giftsub, host, raid), the two render tiers (Standard=Veo, Pro=Kling) with their real current credit prices (silent and with audio), and the character-generation price -- all derived live from AlertForge's billing config, never hardcoded. Call this before plan_alert_pack or generate_alert_character.
overlay
create_overlay_pack
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Consumes a plan from plan_overlay_pack, spending its quoted credits and ATTACHING those scenes to the existing design-approved project (it never creates a new project -- that happened at create_design_sheet time). Calling this again with the same planId after it already succeeded is safe -- it returns the same project rather than attaching the scenes a second time or charging twice. Returns immediately, before any scene has rendered -- call get_pack_status afterward to advance and check progress.
list_overlay_projects
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. List the caller's animated-overlay projects, most recently updated first (up to 20).
style
create_style_sheet_character_edit
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Spends the quoted credits and queues the character-region change from plan_style_sheet_character_edit. It keeps the same project and patches only the character slot into the current Style Sheet. Safe to retry with the same planId. The previous approval is cleared; poll get_style_sheet_character_edit_status, show the revised image to the user, then approve_design_sheet only after the user explicitly approves it.
get_style_sheet_character_edit_status
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Advances the queued character edit, performs the server-side region patch, and returns the revised full Style Sheet image when complete. Call repeatedly until completed or failed. Credits reserved for a failed patch are restored.
approve
approve_design_sheet
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Records the user's approval of a rendered Style Sheet -- call this ONLY after the user has actually seen the image from get_pack_status's designPackage.imageUrl and said they like it. This is the server-side gate: plan_overlay_pack refuses to plan any scene on this project until approve_design_sheet has been called successfully. Fails if the Style Sheet hasn't finished rendering yet -- poll get_pack_status until designPackage.status is "ready" first. Safe to call again on an already-approved project (returns the same approval, does not re-approve or error).
balance
get_balance
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Get the caller's current AlertForge credit balance.
design
create_design_sheet
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Consumes a plan from plan_design_sheet, spending its quoted credits and creating the project. Calling this again with the same planId after it already succeeded is safe -- it returns the same project rather than creating a second one or charging twice. Returns immediately, before the Style Sheet image has rendered -- call get_pack_status to advance rendering and get designPackage.imageUrl, show it to the user, then call approve_design_sheet once they approve it. plan_overlay_pack refuses to plan any scene on this project until that approval is recorded.
export
export_pack_zip
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Bundles the pack's finished scenes into a flat ZIP (WebMs + PNGs + manifest.json) uploaded to R2, returning a time-limited signed download URL. This is the flat agent pack, not the full themed folder-tree artifact (scenes/stinger/alerts/sheet-tile ladders with composited branding) -- that comes from the 'Download pack' button in the web editor at this result's editorUrl.
generate
generate_alert_character
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Spends credits (the exact price is in list_alert_types' characterGenerateCredits). Generates a brand-new standalone character portrait from a text description via AI -- this is a still image, not a video. Returns a renderId immediately; generation is asynchronous and provider timing varies. Poll get_alert_character_status with it until status is 'completed', then use the returned `path` as characterImageUrl in plan_alert_pack.
pack
get_pack_status
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Advances the pack by running up to about 15 seconds of rendering work, then reports current status -- including the Style Sheet's own status and image URL (`designPackage`) and whether it has been approved (`designApproved`), plus per-scene status. A sheet-pack scene (panel-pack/label-pack/sub-badge-pack/ emote-pack) passes through an extra "tiles" stage after its sheet image renders (cropping + uploading each tile) and, once done, reports a `tiles` array (index, label, enabled, a signed download `url`, and an export-ladder `sizes` array for sub-badge-pack/emote-pack). This call has side effects -- call it repeatedly (e.g. every few seconds) until `complete` is true; each call both progresses the pack and returns its latest state. Works on a design-sheet-only project too (from create_design_sheet, before any scene exists) -- poll it until designPackage.status is "ready", then call approve_design_sheet. Every image/video link this returns (designPackage.imageUrl, previewImageUrl, resultUrl, tile urls) is a direct, absolute, signed download URL that opens with no AlertForge login -- never a dashboard link. Links expire after a while, so re-poll to get fresh ones rather than caching one long-term.
particles
list_particles
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. List the particle overlay effects that can be Color-Dodge-blended onto a scene (max 4 per scene).
product
get_product_info
Read-only. What AlertForge is, its key features, supported streaming platforms, and OBS-ecosystem compatibility.
render
get_render_status
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Free to call. Read-only poll for any single render you own -- a transparent video created via create_transparent_video, or any other render id. Reports status and the result video URL(s) once done.
scene
list_scene_kinds
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. List every animated-overlay scene kind with metadata (label, whether it animates, whether it's a cam-frame, and whether it's creatable via this agent surface -- with a one-line reason when it isn't). The four sheet-pack kinds (panel-pack, label-pack, sub-badge-pack, emote-pack) also carry `tileInputs` -- their fixed slot count, whether tile labels are locked to fixed vocabulary (sub-badge-pack only), and how the sheet is billed -- pass per-tile overrides for them as `tileTexts` in plan_overlay_pack. This is the single source of truth for scene kinds; never assume or hardcode a kind name.
transparent
create_transparent_video
Requires an approved AlertForge account connection. OAuth-aware clients should start AlertForge's secure authorization flow and ask the user only to sign in and approve. Setup: https://alertforge.ai/ai-agents#agent-setup. Spends credits. Consumes a plan from plan_transparent_video and starts the render. No subscription is required to CREATE it (only credits) -- but downloading/exporting the finished file later depends on the account's existing entitlement; plan_transparent_video's `downloadWarning` field tells you up front if the account can't download yet. Calling this again with the same planId after it already succeeded is safe -- it returns the same render rather than creating a second one. Returns immediately -- call get_render_status to check progress. Timing varies by model, duration, queue, processing route, and provider demand.

AlertForge — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can AlertForge do?
It exposes 24 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: approve_design_sheet, create_alert_pack, create_design_sheet, create_overlay_pack, create_style_sheet_character_edit, create_transparent_video and 18 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 AlertForge mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around plan, alert and style. 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 AlertForge working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 540 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect AlertForge?
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 AlertForge need an API key?
No. AlertForge completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 24 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is AlertForge?
It answers our handshake in 540 ms on average, which is faster than 21% 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 AlertForge open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at alertforge.ai, which runs on its operator's own terms.
