Magic Hour MCP Server
OpenAPI-backed MCP server for Magic Hour image and video generation, with uploads, completion waiting and retrieval of existing audio projects.
At startup, this server reads docs/openapi.json and builds MCP tools with
FastMCP.from_openapi(). The OpenAPI spec supplies endpoint coverage, while
Magic Hour MCP policies add agent-facing guidance for async polling, uploads,
and project downloads.
Connect an agent
Hosted creation endpoint: https://mcp.magichour.ai/
Follow the client setup guide
for Claude, Claude Code, Codex CLI or ChatGPT. After connecting, call
account_retrieve to verify API access and inspect the account before generation;
ping alone does not validate the API key.
Try: “Use my portrait to create a cinematic space-pilot still, then animate it with a slow camera push. Keep my face consistent, wait for the render and show the finished video. Check account eligibility and cost before spending credits.”
Use workflow_guide_retrieve for the ordered tool steps and output review.
For documentation search while coding, use the separate
API Docs MCP.

Setup
pip install -e .
Run locally
python main.py
Local MCP endpoint:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/
This local dev server runs at /, not /mcp. The host app adds /mcp when it mounts the server.
By default, requests go to the production Magic Hour API:
https://api.magichour.ai
Tool discovery is public. Tool calls require authentication. Hosted Claude and ChatGPT OAuth connectors handle the token after you sign in and authorize access. For manual bearer clients, include your Magic Hour API key:
Authorization: Bearer <magic_hour_api_key>
Agents can discover the hosted server card at:
https://mcp.magichour.ai/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json
Environment variables:
MAGIC_HOUR_API_BASE_URL=https://api.magichour.ai
MAGIC_HOUR_OPENAPI_PATH=docs/openapi.json
MCP_OAUTH_ISSUER_URL=https://mcp.magichour.ai
MCP_OAUTH_RESOURCE_URL=https://mcp.magichour.ai
Override MAGIC_HOUR_API_BASE_URL to use a mock or another API base:
MAGIC_HOUR_API_BASE_URL=https://api.sideko.dev/v1/mock/magichour/magic-hour/latest python main.py
Read-only workflow guidance
workflow_guide_retrieve accepts video-face-swap, image-editor, image-to-video,
video-generator, lip-sync, ugc-ads, talking-photo or media-apis. It returns
inputs, product and API documentation URLs, exact creation-tool names, ordered
steps, example requests, follow-up edits and review criteria. It makes no API
request, spends no credits and does not verify account access. Like other tools, it requires the existing authentication flow.
Clients can also discover the public magic-hour://workflows/index resource and
read magic-hour://workflows/{workflow}. UGC uses ai_ugc_ad_create_video with a
prepared image, script and supported duration; image composition is a separate
Image Editor call. Keep the returned project ID and use wait_for_video_project
to retrieve the finished file.
For example, ask for image-to-video to prepare a consistent keyframe, animate it,
review the finished clip and reuse it for a later edit. The talking-photo guide
requires a portrait and an existing audio file; text alone cannot start that tool.
Guides describe workflows, not prevalidated generated outputs or account eligibility.
This helps assistants that connect to this server select workflows; it does not establish a recommendation or ranking benefit in unconnected consumer assistants.
OAuth
This server is an OAuth protected resource only. The authorization server is the Magic Hour
web app (https://magichour.ai): users sign in and consent there, and it returns a Magic Hour
API key as the access token, which this server passes through to the API. Production requires
MCP_OAUTH_ISSUER_URL and MCP_OAUTH_RESOURCE_URL. See docs/future-oauth-support.md.
Test with MCP Inspector
- Start the server.
- Run:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector - In Inspector:
- Transport:
Streamable HTTP - URL:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/ - Header:
Authorization: Bearer <magic_hour_api_key>
- Transport:
- Call
ping. - Call
video_assets_generate_presigned_urlor another generated tool.
Notes:
- FastMCP generates endpoint tools from OpenAPI at startup.
- Creation tools return
idandcredits_chargedimmediately. - OpenAPI
operationIdvalues are normalized to descriptive snake_case tool names. - The shared
/v1/files/upload-urlsendpoint is namedvideo_assets_generate_presigned_url. It acceptsvideo,audio, andimageitems. - Use
wait_for_*_projectto poll jobs. Useexact_download_urlsexactly as returned; never append expiration metadata. - Image and audio wait tools also return inline media when supported.
Rebuild and type-check the MCP App UI with cd web && npm ci && npm run build.
File uploads
Magic Hour does not accept raw file bytes inside tool arguments. The flow is:
- Call the generated shared upload-URL tool,
video_assets_generate_presigned_url - Upload the file bytes to the returned
upload_url - Pass the returned
file_pathinto the generated creation tool
Direct public media URLs may work, but uploaded file_path values are more
reliable. Upload bytes from the caller or a dedicated upload bridge; the hosted
MCP server never reads caller-supplied local filesystem paths. Browser chat needs
a separate upload UI or bridge; see docs/future-chat-ui-handoff.md.
MCP voice presets
AI Voice Generator exposes and accepts only exact API voice_name strings in
APPROVED_VOICE_NAMES in mcp_magichour/openapi_policies.py. Populate that tuple
with verified approved generic/non-celebrity presets to enable the tool on the
next deployment. No existing upstream voice is assumed safe. An empty allowlist
omits Voice Generator from tool discovery and calls. Voice Cloner is always
excluded from MCP.
The MCP policy removes upstream voice descriptions, defaults, examples and SDK
snippets at startup and when regenerating docs/api-reference.md. Daily OpenAPI
syncs cannot expand the allowlist. Do not edit docs/openapi.json to set MCP
voices: it remains the unmodified upstream API snapshot. The main Magic Hour
product and the public API are unchanged.
MCP Meme Generator exposes only the generic Random template option, keeping
public-figure template names out of its schema.
