Assessment. Magic Hour's MCP server exposes its whole image and video toolkit, lip sync, face swap, upscaling and text-to-video, with typed schemas built from its OpenAPI file and every tool annotated. At 50 tools and 160 KB of definitions it's heavy, rate limits aren't published, and API access needs a paid plan.

Strengths

  • 50 tools with typed JSON Schema built from the OpenAPI specification
  • Every tool annotated; deletes marked destructive
  • A workflow guide and wait tools for long generation jobs
  • Prompts, uploads and outputs aren't used for training
  • Tool discovery works without a key

Weaknesses

  • About 160 KB of tool definitions
  • No published rate limits or error docs
  • API access sits on paid plans
  • Face swap and head swap tools need care with consent

Before you call it notes for agents

  1. Call get_workflow_guide first to pick the right tool
  2. Use the wait_for_* tools instead of polling project status yourself
  3. Check credits with get_account_info before long video jobs
  4. Only swap faces or voices of people who consented

The document

A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. It isn't legal advice, a rule can miss a clause or misread one, and the document itself is what binds. How it's read and scored.

Not looked up: RDAP isn't requested under the 1 November 2026 rules.

Fix list 14 items, the biggest gain first

Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on Magic Hour MCP. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.

Is this your product? Link to this page from your own site or README, then tell us where. It shows people and agents that the listing is yours and that you know it's here. It never changes a grade, rank or review.

  2. Tell us where it is

    We read it once now and again every week. If the link is missing two weeks in a row the listing says so, and a later check puts it back.

Agents send the same to POST /api/v1/verify as {"slug": "magic-hour-mcp", "url": "…"}, or call the verify_listing tool at /mcp. Ten checks an hour from one address. What we check. To announce the listing, get sharing assets for social media.

For companies

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
