Claude-specific workflow

Run Remove a Video Background as a Claude MCP workflow

Keep the goal, source assets, and constraints together in the conversation. Ask Claude to restate the source video file ID and supported output settings before proposing medux_video_remove_background. 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 remove a video background with Medux MCP.
Restate which input fulfills each role: the source video file ID and supported output settings.
Propose the medux_video_remove_background call and summarize its arguments before asking for approval.
When it finishes, return the background-removed video with a checklist confirming that the main subject is retained through the clip and the full output plays correctly.

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 background-removed video plus a concise validation checklist confirming that the main subject is retained through the clip and the full output plays correctly.

What this tutorial does

Medux operation

Create a video processing task that removes the background from an uploaded video.

Agent workflow

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

Before you start

Authentication

Authentication is required via Authorization header.

Preconditions

Requires a previously uploaded video asset.
Requires an existing video file id.

Prompt Claude

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

Remove the background from the uploaded source video {file id}.

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
`file_id`	string	Required	Provide the value described in the API reference.
`region.height`	int32	Optional	Provide the value described in the API reference.
`region.width`	int32	Optional	Provide the value described in the API reference.
`region.x`	int32	Optional	X coordinate of the region's top-left corner in pixels.
`region.y`	int32	Optional	Y coordinate of the region's top-left corner in pixels.
`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_remove_background 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 Video Background Removal

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_remove_background 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.
