Server tool list (43)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| ping | Check that the Magic Hour MCP server is reachable. |
| wait_for_video_project | Poll a video project until it completes, errors, is canceled, or times out. 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. |
| wait_for_image_project | Poll an image project until it completes, errors, is canceled, or times out. Returns the final project JSON and, when complete, attempts to inline image 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. |
| wait_for_audio_project | Poll an audio project until it completes, errors, is canceled, or times out. 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. |
| upload_file_to_presigned_url | 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. |
| fetch_image_download | Fetch a image `downloads[n].url` from a completed image project and return it as inline MCP image content for Inspector or 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. |
| fetch_audio_download | Fetch a audio `downloads[n].url` from a completed audio project and return it as inline MCP audio content for Inspector or 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. |
| video_assets_generate_presigned_url | 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`. |
| face_detection_retrieve_details | Get the details of a face detection task. Use this API to get the list of faces detected in the image or video to use in the [face swap photo](https://docs.magichour.ai/api-reference/image-projects/face-swap-photo) or [face swap video](https://docs.magichour.ai/api-reference/video-projects/face-swap-video) API calls for multi-face swaps. |
| face_detection_detect_faces | Detect faces in an image or video. Use this API to get the list of faces detected in the image or video to use in the [face swap photo](https://docs.magichour.ai/api-reference/image-projects/face-swap-photo) or [face swap video](https://docs.magichour.ai/api-reference/video-projects/face-swap-video) API calls for multi-face swaps. Note: Face detection is free to use for the near future. Pricing may change in the future. MCP guidance: - This starts an async face-detection task and returns an `id`. Use the face-detection details endpoint with that id to retrieve detected faces before doing individual face swaps. - 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`. |
| video_projects_retrieve_details | Check the progress of a video 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. |
| video_projects_delete | Permanently delete the rendered video. This action is not reversible, please be sure before deleting. |
| ai_talking_photo_create_talking_photo | Create a talking photo from an image and audio or text input. 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`. |

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/ai-video-editor). 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`.
