in the cloud
one click: the provider's deploy form opens filled in, in your own account- koyeb
-
Koyeb builds the repository's Dockerfile from branch main; change the branch in the form if the default one has another name.
Clients connect to the service's https://…koyeb.app address plus /mcp.
- cloud run
-
Cloud Shell clones the repository, builds its Dockerfile and deploys it to Cloud Run.
Cloud Run sends requests to $PORT (8080); the recipe expects :8000, so the server has to read PORT, or set the container port on the service afterwards.

Pass 3 to 6 scenes (5 to 8 seconds each, one action per scene, spoken lines at most 20 words; empty spoken_line for silent characters). Consecutive scenes pack into single TAKES of up to 15 seconds, one generation each. HOW CHARACTER IDENTITY WORKS, read carefully: all characters are described in TEXT (avatar_id resolves to its persona brief; or write the persona field yourself, covering one character or a whole ensemble). The video model rejects every image that contains a person, so no photo can anchor a face. Text keeps a character IDENTICAL only WITHIN a take; ACROSS takes it preserves the look and styling but the exact face can drift, and neither avatar_id nor persona prevents that. Structure your script so scenes where the same character must be recognizably identical sit adjacent and fit one take (15s or less); treat cross-take appearances as different shots of a matching character, and review the result. reference_image_urls (up to 9 https images) keeps real products or props on-model in every take; these images must contain no people. Without confirm, it validates the contract and returns the per-scene price estimate in EUR, and makes nothing. With confirm=true it starts the metered render and returns a job_id: rendering runs in the background over a few minutes, so poll clips_status with that id to get per-scene clip URLs plus the uncut takes.
