Using Moondraft over MCP

This guide is for driving Moondraft from an AI assistant like Claude Code or Cursor over MCP, so you generate by chatting. Prefer a visual workspace? The free Moondraft canvas app does the same generation with a full UI. Either way, it's the same engine and the same credits.

1 Get your API key

Sign up at the sign-up page. You'll get an API key and 50 free credits.

2 Connect to Claude Code

Open a terminal and run:

claude mcp add --transport http moondraft https://moondraft.ai/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Then quit and reopen Claude Code. The tools won't load until you restart.

3 Start making things

Just type what you want. Some examples:

• "Make a hero image for my landing page, dark theme with purple gradients"
• "Generate 5 onboarding illustrations for my app, flat style, pastel colors"
• "Make a video of a woman saying 'Welcome to our app. Getting started is easy.'"
• "Take this screenshot and make the background warmer"
• "Upscale this logo to high resolution"

You don't need to pick models, adjust settings, or write technical prompts. Moondraft handles that behind the scenes.

What it costs

• Image 3 credits (premium) or 1 credit (standard, faster)
• Video 10 credits
• Video with speech 15 credits (portrait, voice, and lip-sync, all automatic)
• Edit an image 1 credit
• Enhance / upscale 3 credits
• Preview prompt refinement free

How MCP tools work

When you type a message, your AI assistant reads it and decides which Moondraft tool to call. You'll see a confirmation showing the tool name and parameters. Press 1 to approve, or 2 to approve and skip the prompt for that tool from then on.

Characters in multiple scenes

If a character appears in more than one image, Moondraft automatically creates a reference sheet first, so they stay consistent across every scene. You don't need to do anything, just mention the character.

Style matching

Got a reference image with a look you like? Paste it in and say "match this style." Moondraft picks up the color palette, lighting, and rendering approach.

Voice options for video

When making a video where someone speaks, Moondraft picks a voice based on who you describe. You can also specify:

• Female: Sarah, Aria, Laura, Jessica, Charlotte
• Male: Roger, Charlie, George, Callum, Liam, Daniel

Just say "use Roger's voice" or "make it a male voice" in your prompt.
