Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:480-502 (handler)

  MCP CallToolRequest handler case for 'generate_video': constructs VideoGenerationRequest from tool arguments and delegates to klingClient.generateVideo()

  case 'generate_video': {
    const videoRequest: VideoGenerationRequest = {
      prompt: args.prompt as string,
      negative_prompt: args.negative_prompt as string | undefined,
      model_name: (args.model_name as 'kling-v1' | 'kling-v1.5' | 'kling-v1.6' | 'kling-v2-master' | undefined) || 'kling-v2-master',
      aspect_ratio: (args.aspect_ratio as '16:9' | '9:16' | '1:1') || '16:9',
      duration: (args.duration as '5' | '10') || '5',
      mode: (args.mode as 'standard' | 'professional') || 'standard',
      cfg_scale: (args.cfg_scale as number) ?? 0.5,
      camera_control: args.camera_control as any,
    };
  
    const result = await klingClient.generateVideo(videoRequest);
    
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: 'text',
          text: `Video generation started successfully!\nTask ID: ${result.task_id}\n\nUse the check_video_status tool with this task ID to check the progress.`,
        },
      ],
    };
  }

• src/kling-client.ts:171-202 (handler)

  Core KlingClient.generateVideo method: processes optional image URLs, builds request body with defaults, POSTs to Kling AI text2video endpoint, returns task_id

    // Process any image URLs
    const ref_image_url = await this.processImageUrl(request.ref_image_url);
    
    const body: any = {
      prompt: request.prompt,
      negative_prompt: request.negative_prompt || '',
      cfg_scale: request.cfg_scale || 0.8,
      aspect_ratio: request.aspect_ratio || '16:9',
      duration: request.duration || '5',
      model_name: request.model_name || 'kling-v2-master', // V2-master is default
      ...(request.image_url && { image_url: request.image_url }),

      ...(request.callback_url && { callback_url: request.callback_url }),
      ...(request.external_task_id && { external_task_id: request.external_task_id }),
    };
  
    try {
      const response = await this.axiosInstance.post(path, body);
      return response.data.data;
    } catch (error) {
      if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) {
        throw new Error(`Kling API error: ${error.response?.data?.message || error.message}`);
      }
