Bridge MCP Server (recommended)

For the full tool experience, bridge the MCP server @evolinkai/evolink-media (npm):

Via mcporter:

mcporter call --stdio "npx -y @evolinkai/evolink-media@latest" list_models

Or add to mcporter config:

{
  "evolink-media": {
    "transport": "stdio",
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@evolinkai/evolink-media@latest"],
    "env": { "EVOLINK_API_KEY": "your-key-here" }
  }
}

Direct install (Claude Code): claude mcp add evolink-media -e EVOLINK_API_KEY=your-key -- npx -y @evolinkai/evolink-media@latest

File Upload

For image-to-video generation, upload reference images first:

1. Call upload_file with file_path, base64_data, or file_url → get file_url (synchronous)
2. Use that file_url as image_urls input for generate_video

Supported: Images (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP). Max 100MB. Files expire after 72 hours. Quota: 100 files (default) / 500 (VIP).

Workflow

1. Upload reference images/video if needed (via upload_file)
2. Call generate_video → get task_id
3. Poll check_task every 10–15s until completed
4. Download result URLs (expire in 24h)

Without MCP Server — Direct File Hosting

When MCP tools are not available, you can still upload files to Evolink's hosting via curl:

# Upload local file
curl -X POST https://files-api.evolink.ai/api/v1/files/upload/stream \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EVOLINK_API_KEY" \
  -F "file=@/path/to/image.jpg"

# Upload from URL
curl -X POST https://files-api.evolink.ai/api/v1/files/upload/url \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EVOLINK_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"file_url": "https://example.com/image.jpg"}'

Response returns file_url (public link, expires in 72h). Supported: Images (JPEG/PNG/GIF/WebP). Max 100MB.

For full video generation, bridge the MCP server @evolinkai/evolink-media — see Setup above.
