Generate AI videos straight from Claude with Higgsfield MCP

Paste one URL into Claude's settings — https://mcp.higgsfield.ai — and your chat becomes a production environment. You describe the shot; Claude picks the model, sets the parameters, fires the generation on Higgsfield, and drops the finished clip back into the conversation. No API keys, nothing to install, no separate editor.

Seedance 2.0 via the connector — anamorphic bokeh, wet-street reflections, back-lit silhouette. One prompt, no parameters touched by hand.

What the connector actually is

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that gives AI agents secure access to external tools, and Claude supports it natively. Higgsfield runs an MCP server that exposes the whole platform through that single connection — your credentials stay on Higgsfield's side, and Claude only ever sees tool results. It isn't Claude-exclusive either: Cowork, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, and NemoClaw connect to the same server, so a team running a mix of agents still shares one library and one credit pool.

What Claude can reach through it

The pipe carries the full platform, not a subset. Flip through what that means in practice:

Every model, one pipe

30+ video and image models behind one URL — Claude picks the fit, or you name one in the prompt.

Any input

Text, an image, a sketch, a pose reference, an audio clip, existing footage — each maps to the right technique.

A recurring cast

Train a Soul Character once from a few photos, then reuse it — and its voice — scene after scene.

Real direction

Plain language becomes real cinematography — camera moves, lens choice, depth of field, frame rate — all in one thread.

The roster behind those cards, by job:

You're generating	Models on the pipe
Video	Veo 3.1, Sora 2, Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.0, Wan 2.6, MiniMax Hailuo, Soul, Soul Cinema, Cinema Studio
Images	Soul 2.0, Nano Banana Pro, Flux 2.0, Seedream 4.5
Output ceilings	Up to 4K, clips up to 15 seconds, any aspect ratio

Soul Cinema look — hard red key, crushed background, skin holding detail in the falloff. Character work the connector can direct per take.

Connect it in a minute

Four taps stand between a plain chat and a render pipeline. Rehearse them here, then match each one against the real screens below.

Step one on the real screen — Claude's Settings → Connectors panel, with "Add custom connector" at the bottom of the list.

Step two — the custom connector dialog. Name it Higgsfield, paste mcp.higgsfield.ai into the URL field. That's the whole config.

Step three — the OAuth hand-off. Approve once and the connection persists across every future chat; new accounts ship with free credits.

Then open a new chat and write a brief. Something like:

Generate a cinematic 5-second wide shot of a neon-lit Tokyo alley at night, rain on the pavement, one figure walking away from camera. Use Seedance 2.0.

Claude honors the model you named, sets duration and aspect ratio, and returns the clip in chat. From there you iterate: change the model, push the angle, queue a batch off the same brief.

Three ways people run it

Everyone starts with a single render; the connector's real range shows in how far past that it scales. Tap each mode for what it does and the brief that fires it:

Full production is where the batch machinery earns its keep: presets like UGC, TV spot, and Wild Card fan a single prompt out into hundreds of platform-sized variants — which is how performance marketers ship weekly hook-tested ad sets from one rolling brief, and how ecommerce sellers turn a new SKU into a full content set the day inventory arrives.

Product hero shot from a one-line brief — single-source key light, marble surface, smoke drift. The kind of frame that used to need a studio day.

Nothing disappears into the chat

Every clip also lands in your Higgsfield workspace, where you edit, download, or share it like any other project. For teams that's the point: marketing, creative, and product can each brief through their own Claude session while drawing from the same shared library — no duplicated assets, one credit pool. The full requirements list is short:

You need	The details
A Claude account with custom connectors	Web, desktop, mobile, or Claude Code all work
A Higgsfield account	New accounts ship with free credits — first generations cost nothing
On managed Anthropic plans only	An admin who has allowlisted the MCP URL
Billing	Runs on your existing Higgsfield credits; no per-model billing to negotiate

The real payoff isn't raw speed — it's that the cycle gets short enough to actually iterate. Brief, render, compare, adjust, all in one thread. Iteration is where the creative gets good.
