check_configurationCheck whether a Vivideo API key is configured for this MCP server. Call this FIRST. Returns { configured: boolean }. If false, ask the user to set the VIVIDEO_API_KEY environment variable (a key from https://app.vivideo.ai/account/api-keys) and restart the MCP server. Never asks for or exposes the key.check_accountGet the account plan, premium status, and remaining credit balance. Use this to decide whether the user can generate a video (rendering needs a premium plan and enough credits). Returns plan, premium, credits, free_video_available, and links (upgrade / buy_credits). Cheap and safe to call often.list_modelsList the video models available for MANUAL mode plus the auto-generate pipeline (id "vivideo-auto"). Each model lists its operations, allowed durations, resolutions, aspect ratios, style presets and per-second credit rate — use these to build a valid create request. Filter with `mode` to keep the response small.list_avatarsList available avatars for auto-mode videos (the stock catalogue plus the account's own avatars). Stock avatars are grouped by person, each with a `looks` array — pass a looks[].avatar_id (or an owned avatar's id) as `avatar_id` in create_auto_video. Use `search`/`limit` to keep responses small.list_voicesList available voices for auto-mode videos. Returns voice ids to pass as `voice_id` in create_auto_video. Filter by language/gender/search and cap with `limit`. Voice cloning is not available via the API.list_brand_kitsList the account's brand kits (logo, colors, fonts, motion style). Returns brand_ref ids to pass as `brand_kit_id` in create_auto_video to produce an on-brand video.estimate_creditsEstimate the credits a generation will cost, from the published per-model rates — BEFORE creating it. This is an estimate, not a charge; the exact amount is returned as credits_charged when you create the video. Use it with check_account to confirm the user can afford the request.create_auto_videoCreate a video in AUTO mode: Vivideo writes the script and produces a complete AI-avatar video from your prompt. Returns immediately with a video id and status "processing" (paid) or "preview" (free accounts — see the preview field and upgrade link). Then call wait_for_video or get_video. An Idempotency-Key is sent automatically so a retry never creates a duplicate. Rendering requires a premium plan and credits.create_manual_videoCreate a video in MANUAL mode: send your prompt straight to a specific model (get ids/options from list_models). The operation is inferred from inputs — add image_url for image-to-video. resolution/duration/aspect_ratio must match the model (an invalid value returns a 400 listing what is allowed). Returns a video id and status; then wait_for_video or get_video. Idempotency handled automatically.get_videoGet a video's current status and result. status is one of queued | processing | completed | failed | preview. When completed, video_url is the MP4. When failed, credits are refunded and error explains why. Cheap; prefer wait_for_video for polling instead of calling this in a tight loop.wait_for_videoWait for a video to reach a terminal state (completed / failed / preview), then return it. Polls safely at the API-suggested interval up to a timeout. If it does not finish in time it returns { timed_out: true } with the latest status so you can hand control back and call again later — it never blocks indefinitely or over-polls.list_videosList the account's videos, newest first. Filter by status and limit the count to keep responses small.- +1 more on the listing page
