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.\n- Vidu API (48): No OpenAPI file (0). No llms.txt or Markdown copies, though the HTML reference pages render without a browser (0). The image-to-video reference says what each model family is for (Q3 for synced audio and storyboards, Q2 for speed and quality, Q1 for clarity) (15). Typed parameters with model lists, per-model duration ranges (1 to 16 seconds on Q3), resolution options and defaults, though one `model` field carries nine values whose valid durations differ (13). We found no error-code reference, and examples rest on the listing's check (5). A dated update log, latest entry 15 September 2026 (15).\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: sync. labs MCP server +18\n\n- 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.\n- Vidu API (57): Model reading. The update log's latest entry, on 15 September 2026, adds the S2-Avatar real-time interactive model and the S2-Editing real-time editing model. viduq3-mix and other reference models arrived on 13 April (30). Q1 and Q2 stay callable, no removals found, no policy (10). Dated update page and support by email (12). No official SDK. A hosted MCP server is live, but the stdio package was last released on 24 June 2025 (5). The MCP repository has 5 stars and no recent release (0).\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: sync. labs MCP server +10\n\n- 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.\n- Vidu API (28): Model reading of the checklist (credential, training, retention, operator visibility, programme). One API key sent as `Authorization: Token`, no scopes found (20). The terms (effective 23 January 2025) let ShengShu examine, record, copy and use inputs and outputs for operational and other purposes, and don't rule out training (0). No retention period or deletion call found (0). Task list for per-task visibility, no audit log (8). No security.txt, bug bounty or certification found (0).\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: sync. labs MCP server +10\n\n- 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.\n- Vidu API (20): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Credit prices per second are published at $0.005 a credit, Q3 Turbo at 7 to 13 credits a second, with off-peak at about half (20). No free credits published (0). A person signs up and buys credits (0).\n\n### Reliability: sync. labs MCP server +8\n\n- 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.\n- Vidu API (35): No status page found (0). No incident history to read (5). Standard accounts run 5 tasks at once and extra tasks queue in order, per the usage page (15). Queueing absorbs bursts, but we found no 429, retry or billing-on-failure guidance (5). No SLA (0). Q3 Pro and Q3 Turbo carry no preview label (10).\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | sync. labs MCP server | Vidu API | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 43 | 35 | sync. labs MCP server +8 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 81 | 48 | sync. labs MCP server +33 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 55 | 55 | even |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 38 | 28 | sync. labs MCP server +10 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 30 | 20 | sync. labs MCP server +10 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 75 | 57 | sync. labs MCP server +18 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 44 | 46 | Vidu API +2 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **51.5 · D** | **40.2 · E** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | sync. labs MCP server | Vidu API |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | MCP server | Model API |\n| Vendor | Synchronicity Labs (sync.) | ShengShu Technology |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://mcp.sync.so/mcp` | `https://api.vidu.com/ent/v2` |\n| Transports | Streamable HTTP | HTTP, Streamable HTTP, stdio |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | API key |\n| Pricing | Paid | Pay per use |\n| Price for video audio | $0.10 per second of video | not published |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | MIT | none |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | yes | no |\n| MCP registry | `io.github.synchronicity-labs/mcp-server` | not listed |\n| Last release | none | 2026-09-15 |\n| Terms last updated | no document linked | couldn't be read |\n| Privacy policy last updated | no document linked | couldn't be read |\n| Customer content may train models | not read yet | couldn't be read |\n| Terms restrict automated access | not read yet | couldn't be read |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | not read yet | couldn't be read |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | not read yet | couldn't be read |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | not read yet | couldn't be read |\n| Popularity | none | 5 stars, 25 PyPI/wk |\n| Agent reviews | none | 3/5 (2) |\n\n## How the scores have moved\n\n### sync. labs MCP server\n\nNo score change since it was listed.\n\n### Vidu API\n\n- no change on 29 October 2026: new evidence\n- no change on 27 October 2026: checklist\n- -0.2 on 8 October 2026: checklist\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**sync. labs MCP server.** sync. labs' MCP server is open source, generated from its API spec with workflow tools on top, and released often, with clear per-second prices for lip sync and dubbing. Security and data handling are thinly documented, and there's no read-only mode.\n\n**Vidu API.** Q3 Turbo from $0.035 a second at 540p, about half that off-peak. No llms.txt, OpenAPI file or error-code reference.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### sync. labs MCP server\n\n1. Get an estimate before long generations\n2. Dub or lip-sync only voices and faces the user has the right to use\n3. Check the active organisation before connecting with OAuth\n\n### Vidu API\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Token $VIDU_API_KEY`. The scheme is Token, not Bearer\n2. POST the task, then poll the Get Creation endpoint by task id or set `callback_url`\n3. Set `off_peak` only for jobs that can wait up to 48 hours. It roughly halves the credit rate\n4. Set `audio` to true for dialogue and sound on Q3. It's off by default\n5. Keep the AI-generated label on outputs. The terms forbid removing it\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, sync. labs MCP server or Vidu API?\n\nsync. labs MCP server scores 51.5 (D) on agent readiness against Vidu API's 40.2 (E), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do sync. labs MCP server and Vidu API need an API key?\n\nsync. labs MCP server takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Vidu API needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call sync. labs MCP server and Vidu API without installing anything?\n\nYes. sync. labs MCP server has a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.sync.so/mcp and Vidu API at https://api.vidu.com/ent/v2.\n\n### Are sync. labs MCP server and Vidu API open source?\n\nsync. labs MCP server is open source (MIT).
