### Description (declared)

# protoface-mcp

MCP server for **Protoface media generation**: discover models, submit async
generation runs, and collect outputs — from Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or
any MCP client. 17 tools over the Protoface API; realtime sessions/avatars
and website embeds are intentionally out of scope.

## Install

Requires [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) and a Protoface API key
([create one](https://app.protoface.com/api-keys)).

**Codex** — add to `~/.codex/config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.protoface]
command = "uvx"
args = ["protoface-mcp"]
env_vars = ["PROTOFACE_API_KEY"]
```

with `PROTOFACE_API_KEY=sk_live_...` exported in your shell.

**Claude Code** — add to `.mcp.json` (project) or
`~/.claude.json` (personal):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "protoface": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["protoface-mcp"],
      "env": { "PROTOFACE_API_KEY": "sk_live_..." }
    }
  }
}
```

Then ask your agent to generate something:

> Using Protoface, generate a 5-second video of a lighthouse at dusk.

The companion skill (`skills/protoface-media/SKILL.md` in this repo,
published to the docs site) teaches agents the workflow: read the model's
input schema first, check quota, submit, poll, collect outputs.

## Tools

| Group | Tools |
|---|---|
| Runs | `submit_run`, `get_run_status`, `get_run`, `cancel_run`, `list_runs`, `list_run_events` |
| Models | `list_models`, `get_model` (input contracts live here) |
| Assets | `upload_asset`, `list_assets`, `get_asset`, `download_asset`, `delete_asset` |
| Spend & health | `get_usage_summary`, `list_billing_plans`, `get_quota_limits`, `get_status` |

Run statuses: `queued` → `running` → `completed` / `failed` / `canceled`.
Poll the cheap `get_run_status`, not `get_run`. Pass an `idempotency_key`
to `submit_run` when retrying so a duplicate never double-spends.

Set `PROTOFACE_BASE_URL` to point at staging instead of
`https://api.protoface.com`.

## Development

```sh
uv run pytest packages/mcp        # drift + tool tests
```
