Usage

MCP Client Integration (Cline/Claude Desktop)

Add the server to your MCP client configuration:

Cline Configuration

Add to your Cline MCP settings:

{ "mcpServers": { "Nova Reel Video MCP": { "disabled": false, "timeout": 60, "type": "stdio", "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "--rm", "ghcr.io/mirecekd/novareel-mcp:latest-stdio", "--aws-access-key-id", "YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID", "--aws-secret-access-key", "YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY", "--s3-bucket", "YOUR_S3_BUCKET_NAME" ] } } }
Claude Desktop Configuration

Add to your Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "novareel-mcp": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "--rm", "ghcr.io/mirecekd/novareel-mcp:latest-stdio", "--aws-access-key-id", "YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID", "--aws-secret-access-key", "YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY", "--s3-bucket", "YOUR_S3_BUCKET_NAME" ] } } }
Alternative: Local Python Installation

If you prefer running without Docker:

{ "mcpServers": { "novareel-mcp": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "--from", "git+https://github.com/mirecekd/novareel-mcp.git", "novareel-mcp-server", "--aws-access-key-id", "YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID", "--aws-secret-access-key", "YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY", "--s3-bucket", "YOUR_S3_BUCKET_NAME" ] } } }

Important: Replace the placeholder values with your actual AWS credentials and S3 bucket name.

# First build the package ./build.sh # Then run from wheel file uvx --from ./dist/novareel_mcp-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl novareel-mcp-server --aws-access-key-id YOUR_KEY --aws-secret-access-key YOUR_SECRET --s3-bucket YOUR_BUCKET # Or from current directory during development (without build) uvx --from . novareel-mcp-server --aws-access-key-id YOUR_KEY --aws-secret-access-key YOUR_SECRET --s3-bucket YOUR_BUCKET # Or using start script ./start.sh build-package # Build wheel

Stdio Version (Direct MCP Client)

# Local execution python main.py --aws-access-key-id YOUR_KEY --aws-secret-access-key YOUR_SECRET --s3-bucket YOUR_BUCKET # Docker execution docker run --rm -i mirecekd/novareel-mcp-server:stdio --aws-access-key-id YOUR_KEY --aws-secret-access-key YOUR_SECRET --s3-bucket YOUR_BUCKET

To create a distribution package:

# Install build tools pip install build # Create package python3 -m build # Output files will be in dist/

Example Usage

Basic Video Generation

# Start a video generation job result = start_async_invoke( prompt="A majestic eagle soars over a mountain valley, camera tracking its flight as it circles above a pristine lake", duration_seconds=24, fps=24, dimension="1920x1080" ) job_id = result["job_id"] print(f"Started job: {job_id}") # Check job status status = get_async_invoke(job_id) print(f"Status: {status['status']}") # When completed, get video URL if status["status"] == "Completed": print(f"Video URL: {status['video_url']}")

List All Jobs

# Get overview of all jobs jobs = list_async_invokes() print(f"Total jobs: {jobs['total_invocations']}") print(f"Completed: {jobs['summary']['completed']}") print(f"In progress: {jobs['summary']['in_progress']}")

Prompting Guidelines

The server includes comprehensive prompting guidelines based on AWS documentation. Access them using:

guide = get_prompting_guide()

Key Prompting Tips

  1. Be Specific: Use detailed, descriptive language
    • Good: "A red cardinal perched on a snow-covered pine branch, morning sunlight filtering through the trees"
    • Bad: "A bird on a tree"
  2. Use Camera Terminology: Control shot composition
    • "Close-up shot of hands carving wood"
    • "Wide shot establishing the mountain landscape"
    • "Camera pans left across the valley"
  3. Include Lighting Details: Specify atmosphere
    • "Golden hour lighting casting long shadows"
    • "Soft blue hour twilight"
    • "Dramatic storm clouds overhead"
  4. Structure for Duration: Match complexity to video length
    • 12-24 seconds: Single action or moment
    • 30-60 seconds: 2-3 distinct actions
    • 60-120 seconds: Full narrative with multiple scenes

Example Prompts by Category

Nature (Short - 12s):

Close-up of morning dew drops on a spider web, with soft sunrise lighting creating rainbow reflections

Urban (Medium - 30s):

A street musician plays violin in a subway station, commuters pause to listen, coins drop into his case, camera slowly pulls back to reveal the bustling underground scene

Portrait (Long - 60s):

Portrait of a chef preparing a signature dish: selecting fresh ingredients at market, returning to kitchen, methodically preparing each component, plating with artistic precision, and presenting the finished masterpiece

AWS Permissions

Your AWS credentials need the following permissions:

{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "bedrock:InvokeModel", "bedrock:StartAsyncInvoke", "bedrock:GetAsyncInvoke", "bedrock:ListFoundationModels" ], "Resource": "*" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:PutObject", "s3:GetObject", "s3:ListBucket" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket-name", "arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket-name/*" ] } ] }

Video Output

Generated videos are stored in your S3 bucket with the following structure:

s3://your-bucket/ ├── job-id-1/ │ └── output.mp4 ├── job-id-2/ │ └── output.mp4 └── ...

Videos are accessible via HTTPS URLs:

https://your-bucket.s3.region.amazonaws.com/job-id/output.mp4

Supported Video Specifications

  • Duration: 12-120 seconds (must be multiples of 6)
  • Frame Rate: 24 fps (recommended)
  • Dimensions:
    • 1280x720 (HD)
  • Format: MP4
  • Model: amazon.nova-reel-v1:1

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  1. AWS Credentials Error
    • Verify your AWS credentials are correct
    • Ensure your account has Bedrock access enabled
    • Check IAM permissions
  2. S3 Bucket Access
    • Verify bucket exists and is accessible
    • Check bucket permissions
    • Ensure bucket is in the same region as Bedrock
  3. Duration Validation
    • Duration must be 12-120 seconds
    • Must be a multiple of 6
    • Valid values: 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78, 84, 90, 96, 102, 108, 114, 120
  4. Job Not Found
    • Use list_async_invokes to see all tracked jobs
    • Jobs are stored in memory and lost on server restart
    • For production, implement persistent storage

Debug Mode

Enable debug logging by setting environment variable:

export PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
