Common questions about Tavus Video Replicas MCP in Claude Desktop

You can check specific video jobs by retrieving their details. Just use `get_video_details` and let your agent process the current status for you.

Yep, if it's no good anymore, just run `delete_replica(replica_id)`. It permanently removes the identity from your system.

The server manages generation status tracking. When you trigger a job, it monitors the process internally, so you don't have to manually poll endpoints; your agent handles that.

You get access to seven core functions. These include listing and getting details for both replicas (`list_replicas`, `get_replica_details`) and generated videos.

The primary data types handled are replica identifiers, video job IDs, and associated script metadata. Always confirm what's being stored before running deletions.
