Magic Hour

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 c…

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 audio 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…

Fetch a audio `downloads[n].url` from a completed audio project and return it as inline MCP audio 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.

Fetch a image `downloads[n].url` from a completed image project and return it as inline MCP image content for compatible clients.

Check that the Magic Hour MCP server is reachable.

Returns active saved items owned by the authenticated account, newest first. Each item includes every saved asset with a durable file_path for reuse in compatible generation APIs and a temporary signed URL for previewing or downloading. Filter by type to find characters, references, voices, moodboards, or brand kits. To fetch the next page, pass the response's next_cursor as cursor.

MCP guidance: - Starts an async video job; returns `id` and `credits_charged`.

Results include `downloads`; wait helpers add `exact_download_urls`. Preserve signed URLs and query parameters; never append expiration metadata. Generate a new scene from `style.prompt` and `end_seconds` when no supplied starting image is required. To animate an approved product photo or portrait, use `image_to_video_create_video` instead.

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`, use an existing Magic Hour path or the upload-URL endpoint's `file_path` after uploading raw bytes to its presigned URL.

Poll an audio project until it completes, errors, is canceled, or times out. After a timeout, resume with the same id; do not create another generation. Returns the final project JSON and, when complete, attempts to inline audio downloads for Inspector or compatible clients. Returns sanitized download fields. Use `exact_download_urls[n]` or `downloads[n].url` exactly as returned; do not shorten it, remove query parameters, or append expiration metadata. Inline previews share an 8 MiB limit; all download URLs remain available.
