Why the edge:
- Schema & documentation, sync. labs MCP server +23: PixVerse API 58 (No OpenAPI file published (0). llms.txt on the platform docs (10). Each endpoint page says what the operation does, and the model tables say which models support it. Older model tables still sit beside current ones (12). Typed parameters with fixed values for model, quality, duration and aspect ratio (11). Examples on each endpoint. Results use numeric status codes (1 done, 5 generating, 7 moderation failure, 8 failed) that an agent has to look up (10). A dated changelog that adds models and endpoints every few weeks (15).); sync. labs MCP server 81 (Tools generated from the public API specification plus workflow tools, with typed schemas in the source (25). llms.txt and .md pages (10). Tool table with descriptions (14 of 20). Typed from the API spec (12 of 15). Examples and an estimates tool; errors not documented (8 of 15). Tags v0.2.2 to v0.2.4 and dated commits (12 of 15). 25 + 10 + 14 + 12 + 8 + 12 = 81.)
- Maintenance & community, sync. labs MCP server +23: PixVerse API 52 (Model reading. The changelog's latest entry is the One-click VibeMV API on 24 September 2026, with five dated entries since July, after C1 on 7 April (30). Legacy models from V3.5 to V5.6 stay callable, and no removals were found (10). Dated changelog and support through the platform (12). No official SDK. The stdio MCP package hasn't been released since October 2025 (0). Nothing current to assess for package health (0).); sync. labs MCP server 75 (v0.2.4 and commits on 7 November 2026 (30). Three tags in recent weeks (20). Issues not read (0). Official registry entry io.github.synchronicity-labs/mcp-server (15). CI with verify, publish and review workflows (10). 30 + 20 + 0 + 15 + 10 = 75. Registry presence read from Anchor Terminal's own daily import of the official MCP registry (/api/v1/registry.json, 6 November 2026), not the registry's API.)
- Payments & pricing, sync. labs MCP server +20: PixVerse API 10 (No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Credits per second are public for every model, and the docs peg $1 at five 5 second V6 720p clips, but plan prices sit on a billing page that needs JavaScript, so the dollar price of a credit isn't stated outright (10). A Free API plan with 3 concurrent jobs is listed, but the docs don't say whether it includes credits (0). A person signs up on the platform (0).); sync. labs MCP server 30 (No machine payment protocol (0). Per-second prices published (20). A free try for short videos (10 of 20). A person signs up (0). 0 + 20 + 10 + 0 = 30.)
- Agent ergonomics, PixVerse API +15: PixVerse API 70 (Small JSON responses with a video id, plus webhooks so an agent needn't poll (25). Duration, quality and aspect ratio set output size. No task list endpoint found (10). Numeric status and error codes are documented but cryptic (12). Every submit needs a fresh UUID in Ai-trace-id, and reusing one returns the earlier job instead of creating a new one. That works as an idempotency key, though an agent that reuses an id by mistake gets the old video back (20). Required trace header, no official SDK. A CLI and an MCP server exist (3).); sync. labs MCP server 55 (A generated catalogue filtered by client profile, curated for ChatGPT (15). Project history and estimates (12 of 20). Recovery tools; errors not documented (8 of 20). Annotations not read (5 of 20). OAuth or a key, npm package and library use (15). 15 + 12 + 8 + 5 + 15 = 55.)
- Security & auth, sync. labs MCP server +10: PixVerse API 28 (Model reading of the checklist (credential, training, retention, operator visibility, programme). One API key in an API-KEY header (20). The platform terms don't say whether inputs or outputs train models (0). No retention period or deletion call found (0). A usage deduction query API since 18 August 2026 shows what each job cost, no audit log (8). No security.txt, bug bounty or certification found (0).); sync. labs MCP server 38 (OAuth per organisation, or an API key in the environment (22 of 30). No read-only mode (3 of 20). Media in and out, no third-party text (10). No audit log found (0). No security programme found (3 of 20). 22 + 3 + 10 + 0 + 3 = 38.)
- Reliability, sync. labs MCP server +8: PixVerse API 35 (No status page found (0). No incident history to read (5). Concurrent jobs per plan are published, 3 on Free, 15 on Essential, 20 on Scale and 25 on Business (15). Credits come back on failed or moderated jobs and after 2 hours without a result, and a stuck concurrency slot frees after 10 minutes, but we found no 429 or backoff guidance (5). No SLA (0). V6 and C1 are current models with no preview label (10).); sync. labs MCP server 43 (Status page at status.sync.so with maintenance and previous incidents (20). History not read (5). No MCP limits found (0). The source has abort-signal handling and recovery guidance for long jobs (8 of 15). No SLA found (0). Version 0.2.4, not labelled beta (10). 20 + 5 + 0 + 8 + 0 + 10 = 43.)
