Image to Video AI

What Image to Video AI does

Image to Video AI gives an MCP client access to an account’s existing image assets and the workflow for animating them into videos. It does not begin with a local file upload; the image must already be available in the connected account. An agent can discover eligible photos, inspect the expected credit cost and settings, submit a generation request, and check the resulting task.

The service is suited to agent-driven image animation workflows where the user needs visibility into cost before spending credits. The generation step also includes visibility settings, so an agent should confirm both the cost and intended visibility with the user before proceeding.

How it works

The normal sequence is:

1. List the account’s uploaded image assets and select an image ID.
2. Request a quote for that image and review the credit cost and settings.
3. Confirm the cost and visibility with the user.
4. Start video generation with the selected image and approved settings.
5. Check the generation task until the finished video link is available.

Generation consumes credits. If a request needs to be retried, reuse the same request_id and inputs rather than creating a different request.

Setup and configuration

The endpoint is available at https://imagetovideoai.tools/api/mcp and communicates over Streamable HTTP. Requests use a temporary Bearer token associated with the connected account. Configure the MCP client to connect to that URL and supply the token through the client’s HTTP authentication settings. Because the token is temporary, clients or agents should handle its lifetime according to the account’s authentication flow.

No local runtime or package installation is needed to call the hosted endpoint. The account must contain the image to be animated, and the authenticated connection must be able to access that account’s assets and generation tasks.

Tools and capabilities

• list_image_assets returns photos already uploaded to the connected account. Use an asset ID from the result in later calls.
• quote_generation previews the credit cost and relevant settings for animating a selected photo. It does not start a job or spend credits.
• generate_video submits an image-animation request and spends credits. It supports retries using the same request ID and inputs.
• get_generation checks a generation task belonging to the connected account and returns its video link when the work is complete.

Together, these tools expose both the planning and execution stages, allowing an agent to separate cost approval from generation and result retrieval.
