Call it from your agent

Connect the hosted MCP server once, then ask in plain words. The agent calls Seedance 2.5, waits for the result and hands you the file with its cost.

  --header "Authorization: Bearer ait_your_key"

“Make a 5 second 720p Seedance 2.5 clip of our product on a kitchen counter, 16:9.”

Or from your code

  -d '{"projectId":"<project id>","prompt":"<your prompt>","engine":"seedance-2.5","resolution":"720p","duration":5,"ratio":"16:9"}'
