Perplexity

Generate high-fidelity videos inside Claude Desktop

The `text_to_video` tool initiates cinematic video generation using Kling V3 directly from your Claude Desktop chat window. You feed a detailed visual prompt to your agent, which instantly returns a task ID to track the rendering progress. To see the final output, the agent uses `get_video_task` to poll the server until the MP4 file is ready. You watch the rendering finish without switching to a browser or copying API keys.

Animate static assets using this custom MCP Server

The `image_to_video` tool converts static product photos or concept art into realistic moving scenes. This MCP Server lets your Claude Desktop agent take local image files from your computer and send them straight to the Kling rendering engine. If you need to match audio tracks with a video portrait, the `lip_sync_video` tool drives the mouth movements to sync speech perfectly. Your agent monitors these operations using `get_lipsync_task` and returns the final MP4 when the job finishes.

Map digital garments onto models with Claude Desktop

The `virtual_try_on` tool blends a garment image onto a target model photo to create instant catalog assets. Your agent coordinates this complex image-compositing pipeline right inside your chat interface. Once the generation starts, the agent uses `get_tryon_task` to check the status and retrieve the final composited image URL. This process replaces slow manual editing and speeds up your design reviews.
