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.

FieldTypeRequirementPurpose
aspect_ratiostringOptionalRequested output aspect ratio, for example 16:9 or 9:16.
claritystringOptionalRequested output clarity, for example 720P or 1080P.
duration_secondsint32OptionalRequested output duration in seconds.
model_idstringOptionalStable public Medux model identifier.
promptstringOptionalProvide the value described in the API reference.
titlestringOptionalProvide the value described in the API reference.

Step-by-step workflow

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

05

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can Codex use the Medux Create Text to Video API through MCP?

Codex can call the medux_video_generate_text_to_video Medux MCP tool to generate a video directly from a text prompt. This guide covers the required inputs, approval flow, result handling, and the matching API reference.

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.

Claude-specific workflow

Run AI Text to Video as a Claude MCP workflow

Keep the goal, source assets, and constraints together in the conversation. Ask Claude to restate the visual prompt, duration, aspect ratio, and supported generation settings before proposing medux_video_generate_text_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 generate a video from text with Medux MCP.
Restate which input fulfills each role: the visual prompt, duration, aspect ratio, and supported generation settings.
Propose the medux_video_generate_text_to_video call and summarize its arguments before asking for approval.
When it finishes, return the generated text-to-video clip with a checklist confirming that the output follows the prompt, uses the requested format, and 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 generated text-to-video clip plus a concise validation checklist confirming that the output follows the prompt, uses the requested format, and plays correctly.

Claude can call the medux_video_generate_text_to_video Medux MCP tool to generate a video directly from a text prompt. This guide covers the required inputs, approval flow, result handling, and the matching API reference.

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.

Quick answer

How do I generate a video from text with Medux MCP?

Connect either Codex or Claude to Medux MCP, prepare the required inputs, review the proposed medux_video_generate_text_to_video call, and verify the returned result. The tabs above keep client-specific prompting on one canonical page.

Can I use the same Medux tool in Codex and Claude?

Yes. The client interaction differs, but both use the same Medux MCP tool and API request contract shown in this tutorial.

Related developer intent

Use AI agents to generate a video from text

This tutorial addresses developer workflows for text-to-video API and AI video generator from text by making the task repeatable through the Medux API. Codex or Claude can prepare inputs, show the MCP tool arguments for approval, monitor processing, and return an output that can be checked against the original request.

This capability fits a broader AI video editing pipeline alongside video watermark removal, logo removal, object cleanup, resizing, and output validation for owned or authorized media.

Can Codex or Claude generate a video from text through Medux MCP?

Yes. Use the client-specific tab above to prepare the inputs, review the Medux tool call, run the operation, and verify the returned result. The linked API reference remains the source of truth for supported fields and limits.

Production, trust, and developer intent

Run an async, agent-ready workflow to generate a video from text

Use Medux as an AI media API for developers when you need to generate a video from text from Codex or Claude. The production pattern is submit, keep the task ID, poll status, fetch the result, and verify the output; it supports asynchronous video generation and multi-model media orchestration without hiding model-specific limits.

Before commercial use, verify source rights, the selected model terms, output licensing, brand approvals, and any required disclosure. This is a commercial-use review workflow, not a blanket commercial license.

Should an AI generation API use task polling or a webhook?

This Medux tutorial demonstrates task polling. Use a webhook only when the current API reference explicitly documents callback delivery, authentication, and retry behavior.
