Published tool inventories disagree.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Luma AI API\n\n1. Send model `ray-3.2` and type `video`, with resolution and duration inside `video`. Older model names are rejected\n2. Poll GET /v1/generations/{id} until completed or failed, then copy the presigned URL\n3. On 429, read `detail`. Rate limit exceeded means wait Retry-After, Too many concurrent jobs means wait for a job to finish\n4. Use keyframes with `keyframe_indexes` for 10 second clips. start_frame and end_frame only work at 5 seconds\n\n### Popcraft MCP\n\n1. Preview credit cost and obtain approval before submitting paid generation.\n2. Discover the current tool list instead of assuming the advertised count.\n3. Poll the existing job rather than resubmitting a generation after a timeout.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Luma AI API or Popcraft MCP?\n\nLuma AI API scores 48.2 (D) on agent readiness against Popcraft MCP's 37.9 (F), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Popcraft MCP leads on security \u0026 auth and payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Luma AI API and Popcraft MCP need an API key?\n\nLuma AI API needs an API key. Popcraft MCP uses an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Luma AI API and Popcraft MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes. Luma AI API has a hosted endpoint at https://agents.lumalabs.ai/v1 and Popcraft MCP at https://popcraft.ai/api/mcp.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-popcraft-mcp.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-popcraft-mcp.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"luma\", \"b\": \"popcraft-mcp\"}`.
