Claude-specific workflow

Run AI Image to Video as a Claude MCP workflow

Keep the goal, source assets, and constraints together in the conversation. Ask Claude to restate the source image, motion prompt, duration, and supported generation settings before proposing medux_video_generate_image_to_video. That context checkpoint makes the file roles and desired outcome easy to correct before any Medux call is approved.

Claude prompt pattern

Using the assets and requirements in this conversation, help me turn an image into a video with Medux MCP.
Restate which input fulfills each role: the source image, motion prompt, duration, and supported generation settings.
Propose the medux_video_generate_image_to_video call and summarize its arguments before asking for approval.
When it finishes, return the generated image-to-video clip with a checklist confirming that the output follows the requested motion while retaining the source subject and composition.

Context checkpoint

Have Claude summarize the intended transformation, identify every source asset by role, and list the important constraints. Review that summary together with the proposed tool arguments; correct the conversation first if a file, order, time range, or setting is ambiguous.

Result verification

Keep the Medux task ID in the conversation while Claude checks progress. When processing ends, ask for the generated image-to-video clip plus a concise validation checklist confirming that the output follows the requested motion while retaining the source subject and composition.

What this tutorial does

Medux operation

Generate a video from a source image and text prompt.

Agent workflow

Claude selects medux_video_generate_image_to_video, presents the arguments for review, calls Medux, and reports the response.

Before you start

Authentication

Authentication is required via Authorization header.

Preconditions

Upload the source image and create a file reference before calling this endpoint.
Requires an uploaded image file id and a non-empty prompt.
Also accepts optional duration seconds, clarity, aspect ratio, and model id.

Prompt Claude

Start with a clear instruction that names the Medux operation and the intended inputs.

Generate a 5 second 720P 16:9 video from uploaded image {file id} and this motion prompt using model id wan-2-6-image-to-video. This model requires Starter or higher.

Request fields to review

Confirm these values before approving the MCP tool call. The linked API page remains the source of truth for current limits and response semantics.

Field	Type	Requirement	Purpose
`aspect_ratio`	string	Optional	Requested output aspect ratio, for example 16:9 or 9:16.
`clarity`	string	Optional	Requested output clarity, for example 720P or 1080P.
`duration_seconds`	int32	Optional	Requested output duration in seconds.
`file_id`	string	Optional	Provide the value described in the API reference.
`model_id`	string	Optional	Stable public Medux model identifier.
`prompt`	string	Optional	Provide the value described in the API reference.
`title`	string	Optional	Provide the value described in the API reference.

Step-by-step workflow

Connect Medux MCP to Claude

Add the Medux remote MCP endpoint to Claude, provide an authorized credential, and confirm that the medux_video_generate_image_to_video tool is available.

Prepare the required inputs

Prepare the source files, asset IDs, text, or settings required by the operation. Upload local media first when the tool requests file IDs.

Ask Claude to run Create Image to Video

Use one direct instruction with the intended values. Claude should select the Medux tool and show the proposed arguments before execution.

Review and approve the tool call

Check that the tool is medux_video_generate_image_to_video and that each file ID, task ID, option, and output setting matches your request before approving it.

Check the Medux response

If Medux returns an asynchronous task, let the agent monitor it until completion; otherwise review the immediate response and save any result identifiers or output URLs.
