Gen-3 Alpha Turbo and Gen-4 Aleph were removed on 2026-07-30 with no prior notice in the changelog.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Runway API\n\n1. Send `X-Runway-Version: 2024-11-06` on every request or it fails\n2. Use the SDK's wait-for-output helper or poll GET /v1/tasks/{id} until SUCCEEDED or FAILED\n3. Don't retry a SAFETY.* failure unchanged. It's moderation, not an outage\n4. Take model IDs from the models page, not memory. Two were removed without notice on 2026-07-30\n5. Copy outputs to your own storage. URLs expire within 24 to 48 hours\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Popcraft MCP or Runway API?\n\nRunway API scores 60.8 (C) on agent readiness against Popcraft MCP's 37.9 (F), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Popcraft MCP leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Popcraft MCP and Runway API need an API key?\n\nPopcraft MCP uses an OAuth sign-in. Runway API needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Popcraft MCP and Runway API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Popcraft MCP has a hosted endpoint at https://popcraft.ai/api/mcp and Runway API at https://api.dev.runwayml.com/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/popcraft-mcp-vs-runway.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/popcraft-mcp-vs-runway.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"popcraft-mcp\", \"b\": \"runway\"}`.
