How do I run AI Text to Video with Codex MCP?

Codex can use medux_video_generate_text_to_video through Medux MCP to generate a video directly from a text prompt. The workflow identifies the exact inputs, reviews the tool arguments, monitors processing, and verifies the returned result.

How to generate a video from text with Codex MCP and Medux

Q: Which MCP tool does this tutorial use?

This workflow uses medux_video_generate_text_to_video . Review its arguments before approval and consult the API reference for the current contract.

Use Codex and Medux through MCP to generate a video directly from a text prompt. This guide covers input preparation, the approval gate, task monitoring, and a concrete output check.

Codex-specific workflow

Run AI Text to Video as a Codex MCP task

Use the active workspace as the source of truth. Ask Codex to identify the visual prompt, duration, aspect ratio, and supported generation settings, select medux_video_generate_text_to_video, and keep the Medux task ID and returned output with the rest of the project. Naming the input roles and the expected result prevents an agent from guessing which file should be used where.

Codex prompt pattern

In this workspace, use medux_video_generate_text_to_video through Medux MCP to generate a video from text.
First inspect and identify the visual prompt, duration, aspect ratio, and supported generation settings.
Show me the exact tool arguments before execution.
After the task completes, return the generated text-to-video clip and verify that the output follows the prompt, uses the requested format, and plays correctly.

Approval gate

Before approving the call, compare the selected tool, file or asset IDs, ordering, timing, and output settings with the request. If a local filename was mapped to an uploaded Medux file ID, keep that mapping visible so it can be audited later.

Result verification

Let Codex monitor an asynchronous task until it reaches a terminal state, then save or report the generated text-to-video clip. The final check is explicit: confirm that the output follows the prompt, uses the requested format, and plays correctly.

What this tutorial does

Medux operation

Generate a video directly from a text prompt.

Agent workflow

Codex selects medux_video_generate_text_to_video, presents the arguments for review, calls Medux, and reports the response.

Before you start

Authentication

Authentication is required via Authorization header.

Preconditions

Requires a prompt and an account plan that can use the selected model.
Requires a non-empty prompt.
Also accepts optional duration seconds, clarity, aspect ratio, and model id.

Prompt Codex

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

Generate a 5 second 720P 16:9 video from this prompt using model id wan-2-6-text-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.
`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 Codex

Add the Medux remote MCP endpoint to Codex, provide an authorized credential, and confirm that the medux_video_generate_text_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 Codex to run Create Text to Video

Use one direct instruction with the intended values. Codex 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_text_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.
