Why This Package?

@runapi.ai/hailuo-mcp is a focused Model Context Protocol server for the Hailuo model line on RunAPI. It gives MCP-compatible assistants direct access to 2 endpoints and 6 model variants without loading the full RunAPI catalog.

Use this per-model server when an agent should stay scoped to Hailuo. Use @runapi.ai/mcp when one assistant should discover every RunAPI model line.


Related MCP server: @runapi.ai/gemini-omni-mcp

Install

Add it to Claude Code:

claude mcp add hailuo -s user -- npx -y @runapi.ai/hailuo-mcp

Use project scope when the server should be shared with a repository:

claude mcp add hailuo -s project -- npx -y @runapi.ai/hailuo-mcp

Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Roo Code, and other MCP hosts can use the same stdio command:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hailuo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@runapi.ai/hailuo-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

check_pricing works before sign-in. For task creation and status polling, ask your assistant to call the login tool. It opens a browser login and saves credentials to ~/.config/runapi/config.json, the same file used by runapi login. Headless and CI hosts can still set RUNAPI_API_KEY before starting the MCP host.

Ready-made examples are in examples/ for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and Roo Code.


Tools

Tool

Auth

Purpose

image_to_video

Yes

Create a Hailuo image to video task and optionally wait for a terminal status. Returns the task id, status, and output URLs.

text_to_video

Yes

Create a Hailuo text to video task and optionally wait for a terminal status. Returns the task id, status, and output URLs.

get_task

Yes

Fetch the current status and latest payload for an existing task.

check_pricing

No

Look up current pricing for a Hailuo model and endpoint.


Models

Hailuo covers 6 model variants across 2 endpoints. Each tool accepts the models listed for it:

Tool

Models

image_to_video

hailuo-02-image-to-video-pro, hailuo-02-image-to-video-standard, hailuo-2.3-image-to-video-pro, hailuo-2.3-image-to-video-standard

text_to_video

hailuo-02-text-to-video-pro, hailuo-02-text-to-video-standard

Model availability can change between releases. Use check_pricing or the Hailuo model page for the current catalog view.


Agent Prompts

Ask your assistant in natural language; it can inspect pricing, create the task, and return the task id plus output URLs.

Create a task

Run a Hailuo image to video task with RunAPI.

The assistant can call check_pricing, then image_to_video, and return the task id, status, and output URLs.

Submit without waiting

Create the task but don't wait for it to finish.

The assistant calls the create tool with wait: false and returns the task id. Check on it later with get_task.

Check pricing before creating

Check current Hailuo pricing, then create the task if it matches my request.

The assistant calls check_pricing and can link to the Hailuo model page for the canonical catalog entry.


Configuration

The server resolves auth in this order:

  1. RUNAPI_API_KEY environment variable, useful for headless and CI hosts

  2. ~/.config/runapi/config.json, created by the MCP login tool or runapi login

  3. No key, which still allows check_pricing

The config file is normally managed by login. A pre-provisioned headless config can use:

{
  "apiKey": "your_runapi_key"
}

Do not commit real API keys.

    TDQS

    A3.5/5.0

    Scored across 5 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: two generation tools differ by input modality (image_to_video vs text_to_video), get_task handles retrieval, and login/check_pricing are distinct utilities. There is no meaningful overlap that would cause misselection.

    Naming Consistency4/5

    Almost all tools use snake_case with a verb_noun or noun_to_noun structure (check_pricing, image_to_video, text_to_video, get_task), which is readable and consistent. 'login' is a bare verb that breaks the noun pattern slightly, but this is a conventional deviation.

    Tool Count5/5

    Five tools is well-scoped for a video-generation service, with each tool earning its place: auth, pricing, two generation modes, and task polling. Nothing feels redundant or missing from the count perspective.

    Completeness4/5

    Core lifecycle is covered: login, check pricing, create tasks in both modes, and poll task status/results. Minor gaps exist such as no task cancellation or listing of prior tasks, but the primary workflow is complete.
