Magic Hour MCP Server

Edit images with AI. MCP guidance: - This starts an async image generation job and returns `id` plus `credits_charged` immediately. If the user wants the finished result, call the `wait_for_image_project` helper with the returned id, or poll the matching `GET /v1/image-projects/{id}` endpoint until status is `complete`, `error`, or `canceled`. Completed projects include `downloads` with direct URLs. The custom wait helper also returns `exact_download_urls` separately from expiration metadata. - For `*_file_path` values, prefer an existing Magic Hour file path or a `file_path` returned by the upload-URL endpoint after the file bytes are uploaded. Direct public media URLs may work when they are stable, fetchable, and return raw file bytes, but hotlinked URLs can fail; when in doubt, use the presigned upload flow first and pass the returned `file_path`.

Create an AI image with advanced model selection and quality controls. MCP guidance: - This starts an async image generation job and returns `id` plus `credits_charged` immediately. If the user wants the finished result, call the `wait_for_image_project` helper with the returned id, or poll the matching `GET /v1/image-projects/{id}` endpoint until status is `complete`, `error`, or `canceled`. Completed projects include `downloads` with direct URLs. The custom wait helper also returns `exact_download_urls` separately from expiration metadata.

Upscale your image using AI. Each 2x upscale costs 50 credits for balanced/creative modes, and 25 credits for preserve. 4x upscale costs 200 and 100 credits respectively. MCP guidance: - This starts an async image generation job and returns `id` plus `credits_charged` immediately. If the user wants the finished result, call the `wait_for_image_project` helper with the returned id, or poll the matching `GET /v1/image-projects/{id}` endpoint until status is `complete`, `error`, or `canceled`.

Check the progress of a image project. The `downloads` field is populated after a successful render. **Statuses** - `queued` — waiting to start - `rendering` — in progress - `complete` — ready; see `downloads` - `error` — a failure occurred (see `error`) - `canceled` — user canceled - `draft` — not used MCP guidance: - Use this after a create tool to poll job status. When status is `complete`, surface the `downloads` URLs to the user; if status is `error`, surface the error message. - Each `downloads[n].url` is already the full signed download URL. Use it exactly as returned. Do not shorten it, strip query parameters, or append `expires_at` onto the URL string.

**What this API does** Create the same Image To Video you can make in the browser, but programmatically, so you can automate it, run it at scale, or connect it to your own app or workflow. **Good for** - Automation and batch processing - Adding image to video into apps, pipelines, or tools **How it works (3 steps)** 1) Upload your inputs (video, image, or audio) with [Generate Upload URLs](https://docs.magichour.ai/api-reference/files/generate-asset-upload-urls) and copy the `file_path`. 2) Send a request to create a image to video job with the basic fields. 3) Check the job status until it's `complete`, then download the result from `downloads`. **Key options** - Inputs: see the request schema for endpoint-specific assets - Resolution: free users default to 480p; higher plans unlock HD and larger sizes - Extra fields: see the request schema for endpoint-specific options **Cost** Credits are only charged for the frames that actually render. You'll see an estimate when the job is queued, and the final total after it's done. For detailed examples, see the [product page](https://magichour.ai/products/image-to-video). MCP guidance: - This starts an async video generation job and returns `id` plus `credits_charged` immediately.

Generates a list of pre-signed upload URLs for the assets required. This API is only necessary if you want to upload to Magic Hour's storage. Refer to the [Input Files Guide](https://docs.magichour.ai/integration/inputs-and-outputs) for more details. The response array will match the order of items in the request body. **Valid file extensions per asset type**: - video: mp4, m4v, mov, webm - audio: mp3, wav, aac, flac, webm, weba, m4a, opus, ogg, oga, aiff, amr - image: png, jpg, jpeg, jfif, heic, heif, webp, avif, jp2, tiff, tif, bmp - gif: gif, webp, webm > Note: `gif` is only supported for face swap API `video_file_path` field. Once you receive an upload URL, send a `PUT` request to upload the file directly. Example: ``` curl -X PUT --data '@/path/to/file/video.mp4' \ https://videos.magichour.ai/api-assets/id/video.mp4?<auth params from the API response> ``` MCP guidance: - This only creates presigned upload URLs. For local files, upload the raw bytes to each returned `upload_url` outside the generation call, then pass the matching `file_path` into the create tool. - For `*_file_path` values, prefer an existing Magic Hour file path or a `file_path` returned by the upload-URL endpoint after the file bytes are uploaded. Direct public media URLs may work when they are stable, fetchable, and return raw file bytes, but hotlinked URLs can fail; when in doubt, use the presigned upload flow first and pass the returned `file_path`.

Direct public media URLs may work when they are stable, fetchable, and return raw file bytes, but hotlinked URLs can fail; when in doubt, use the presigned upload flow first and pass the returned `file_path`.

**What this API does** Create the same Lip Sync you can make in the browser, but programmatically, so you can automate it, run it at scale, or connect it to your own app or workflow. **Good for** - Automation and batch processing - Adding lip sync into apps, pipelines, or tools **How it works (3 steps)** 1) Upload your inputs (video, image, or audio) with [Generate Upload URLs](https://docs.magichour.ai/api-reference/files/generate-asset-upload-urls) and copy the `file_path`. 2) Send a request to create a lip sync job with the basic fields. 3) Check the job status until it's `complete`, then download the result from `downloads`. **Key options** - Inputs: see the request schema for endpoint-specific assets - Resolution: free users default to 480p; higher plans unlock HD and larger sizes - Extra fields: see the request schema for endpoint-specific options **Cost** Credits are only charged for the frames that actually render. You'll see an estimate when the job is queued, and the final total after it's done. For detailed examples, see the [product page](https://magichour.ai/products/lip-sync). MCP guidance: - This starts an async video generation job and returns `id` plus `credits_charged` immediately. If the user wants the finished result, call the `wait_for_video_project` helper with the returned id, or poll the matching `GET /v1/video-projects/{id}` endpoint until status is `complete`, `error`, or `canceled`. Completed projects include `downloads` with direct URLs. The custom wait helper also returns `exact_download_urls` separately from expiration metadata. - For `*_file_path` values, prefer an existing Magic Hour file path or a `file_path` returned by the upload-URL endpoint after the file bytes are uploaded. Direct public media URLs may work when they are stable, fetchable, and return raw file bytes, but hotlinked URLs can fail; when in doubt, use the presigned upload flow first and pass the returned `file_path`.

Create an AI generated meme. Each meme costs 10 credits. MCP guidance: - This starts an async image generation job and returns `id` plus `credits_charged` immediately. If the user wants the finished result, call the `wait_for_image_project` helper with the returned id, or poll the matching `GET /v1/image-projects/{id}` endpoint until status is `complete`, `error`, or `canceled`. Completed projects include `downloads` with direct URLs. The custom wait helper also returns `exact_download_urls` separately from expiration metadata.

Check that the Magic Hour MCP server is reachable.

Upload a local file from the MCP server's filesystem to a presigned `upload_url` returned by the upload-URL endpoint. Use this for local CLI testing when the server can read the file path; remote web-chat users still need a browser or backend upload bridge.
