image
ai_image_editor_create_image
MCP guidance: - Requires one or more source images in `assets.image_file_paths`. For prompt-only creation, use `ai_image_generator_create_image` instead. - Starts an async image job; returns `id` and `credits_charged`. For finished results, call `wait_for_image_project` with that id or poll `GET /v1/image-projects/{id}` until `complete`, `error`, or `canceled`. Results include `downloads`; wait helpers add `exact_download_urls`. Preserve signed URLs and query parameters; never append expiration metadata. - For `*_file_path`, use an existing Magic Hour path or the upload-URL endpoint's `file_path` after uploading raw bytes to its presigned URL. Direct public media URLs may work if stable and fetchable as raw bytes; hotlinked URLs can fail. Prefer the upload-URL endpoint when unsure. Edit supplied images using `assets.image_file_paths` and `style.prompt`. For prompt-only creation use `ai_image_generator_create_image`. Editing is not a required preparation step before image-to-video when the approved source already meets the brief. Check model eligibility: the omitted/default model is not universally available on Free.
ai_image_generator_create_image
MCP guidance: - Starts an async image job; returns `id` and `credits_charged`. For finished results, call `wait_for_image_project` with that id or poll `GET /v1/image-projects/{id}` until `complete`, `error`, or `canceled`. Results include `downloads`; wait helpers add `exact_download_urls`. Preserve signed URLs and query parameters; never append expiration metadata. Create an AI image with advanced model selection and quality controls.
ai_image_upscaler_create_image
MCP guidance: - Starts an async image job; returns `id` and `credits_charged`. For finished results, call `wait_for_image_project` with that id or poll `GET /v1/image-projects/{id}` until `complete`, `error`, or `canceled`. Results include `downloads`; wait helpers add `exact_download_urls`. Preserve signed URLs and query parameters; never append expiration metadata. - For `*_file_path`, use an existing Magic Hour path or the upload-URL endpoint's `file_path` after uploading raw bytes to its presigned URL. Direct public media URLs may work if stable and fetchable as raw bytes; hotlinked URLs can fail. Prefer the upload-URL endpoint when unsure. 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.
fetch_image_download
Fetch a image `downloads[n].url` from a completed image project and return it as inline MCP image content for compatible clients. Pass the exact full signed URL from `downloads[n].url` without trimming query parameters; `expires_at` is separate metadata, not part of the URL. Inline media is capped at 8 MiB; use the signed URL directly for larger downloads.
image_background_remover_create_image
MCP guidance: - Starts an async image job; returns `id` and `credits_charged`. For finished results, call `wait_for_image_project` with that id or poll `GET /v1/image-projects/{id}` until `complete`, `error`, or `canceled`. Results include `downloads`; wait helpers add `exact_download_urls`. Preserve signed URLs and query parameters; never append expiration metadata. - For `*_file_path`, use an existing Magic Hour path or the upload-URL endpoint's `file_path` after uploading raw bytes to its presigned URL. Direct public media URLs may work if stable and fetchable as raw bytes; hotlinked URLs can fail. Prefer the upload-URL endpoint when unsure. Remove background from image. Each image costs 5 credits.
image_projects_delete
Permanently delete the rendered image(s). This action is not reversible, please be sure before deleting.
image_projects_retrieve_details
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. 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
image_to_video_create_video
MCP guidance: - Starts an async video job; returns `id` and `credits_charged`. For finished results, call `wait_for_video_project` with that id or poll `GET /v1/video-projects/{id}` until `complete`, `error`, or `canceled`. Results include `downloads`; wait helpers add `exact_download_urls`. Preserve signed URLs and query parameters; never append expiration metadata. - For `*_file_path`, use an existing Magic Hour path or the upload-URL endpoint's `file_path` after uploading raw bytes to its presigned URL. Direct public media URLs may work if stable and fetchable as raw bytes; hotlinked URLs can fail. Prefer the upload-URL endpoint when unsure. Animate a supplied product photo, portrait or scene. Requires `assets.image_file_path` and `end_seconds`. Use the approved image directly; edit only for a requested visual change or a source problem that prevents the shot. Prompt for motion while preserving the supplied appearance. Model, duration, resolution and audio support vary. Generation consumes credits; the queued video charge is an estimate, with the final charge available on the completed project.
video

Direct public media URLs may work if stable and fetchable as raw bytes; hotlinked URLs can fail. Prefer the upload-URL endpoint when unsure. Replace a video subject or transfer video motion onto a reference character image. Requires `assets.video_file_path`, `assets.image_file_path` and `end_seconds`. Model support controls duration, resolution and subject selection; see parameter schemas. Generation consumes credits; the queued video charge is an estimate, with the final charge available on the completed project.

Magic Hour — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Magic Hour do?
It exposes 48 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: account_retrieve, ai_clothes_changer_create_image, ai_face_editor_edit_image, ai_gif_generator_create_image, ai_headshot_generator_create_image, ai_image_editor_create_image and 42 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 Magic Hour mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around image, video and face. 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 Magic Hour working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 126 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did Magic Hour ever remove tools?
Yes. aiClothesChanger_createImage, aiFaceEditor_editImage, aiGifGenerator_createImage, aiHeadshotGenerator_createImage and 35 more are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
The registry lists Magic Hour as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Magic Hour?
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 Magic Hour need an API key?
No. Magic Hour completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 48 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
