Tools & capabilities
Createavataaars tools 8
list_stylesThe avatar styles, with what each can change.list_templatesA style's templates as codes and previews.list_attributesA style's attributes and every value, with names.random_avatarA template at random, as a code and a preview.create_avatarAn avatar from attributes, or from a code plus changes. Attribute names and values come from list_attributes; null or "off" switches a part off.avatar_for_nameOne approved avatar for a name or a user id, the same every time.share_linkThe code's link and its page.render_avatarA code as PNG, SVG or WebP at a size, up to 1024 px. Pass codes to render several in one call (up to 20). Every file carries its credit inside.
Mediamcp tools 6
generate_imageGenerate one or more images from a text prompt using a cloud AI model. Every image is saved to disk and its absolute path is returned, along with a small inline preview. Use edit_image instead when starting from an existing image.edit_imageEdit or transform existing image(s) with a text instruction — restyle, add or remove elements, change background, or combine several images into one scene. The result is saved to disk and its absolute path is returned, along with a small inline preview.generate_videoGenerate a video from a text prompt, and optionally from an input image (image-to-video). Async job: starts generation, then waits and polls. Video generation typically takes 1-5 minutes. The finished file is saved to disk and its absolute path is returned. If waiting times out, a polling_url is returned — pass it to check_video_status later instead of starting a new (billed) job. For image-to-video, pass first_frame_image so the clip animates from that exact picture (e.g. a still produced by generate_image). Image inputs require an image-to-video-capable model such as 'bytedance/seedance-2.0', 'bytedance/seedance-2.0-fast', or 'google/veo-3.1'.check_video_statusCheck a previously started video generation job (from generate_video's polling_url or video id). If the job has completed, downloads the video, saves it to disk, and returns the absolute path.list_modelsList image- and video-capable model slugs available on the configured endpoint, with pricing where known. Use this to pick a `model` value for generate_image, edit_image, or generate_video.check_configDiagnose the mediamcp server setup: endpoint, API key presence and validity, default models, and output directory writability. Run this first when any other mediamcp tool fails.
