🔧 Advanced Configuration

Environment Variables

Claude Desktop Advanced Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "creatify": {
      "command": "creatify-mcp",
      "env": {
        "CREATIFY_API_ID": "your-api-id",

    }
  }
}

🚀 Performance Optimization

Batch Operations

For multiple video creations, consider using the batch processing capabilities:

// Example: Create multiple videos efficiently
const videos = await Promise.all([
  client.callTool({
    name: "create_avatar_video",
    arguments: { text: "Video 1", avatarId: "anna", aspectRatio: "16:9" }
  }),
  client.callTool({
    name: "create_avatar_video",
    arguments: { text: "Video 2", avatarId: "john", aspectRatio: "16:9" }
  })
]);

Caching Strategies

• Avatar/Voice Lists: Cache for 1 hour (they rarely change)
• Video Status: Poll every 5-10 seconds for active tasks
• Templates: Cache for 24 hours

🔐 Security Best Practices

1. Never commit API keys to version control
2. Use environment variables for all sensitive data
3. Rotate API keys regularly
4. Monitor API usage to detect unauthorized access
5. Use HTTPS for all webhook URLs

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"API credentials not found"

# Solution: Set environment variables
export CREATIFY_API_ID="your-api-id"
export CREATIFY_API_KEY="your-api-key"

"Video creation failed"

• Check your Creatify account credits
• Verify avatar/voice IDs exist
• Ensure text is not empty
• Check aspect ratio is valid

"MCP connection failed"

• Verify the server is running
• Check Claude Desktop configuration
• Ensure Node.js version >= 18

Debug Mode

# Run with debug logging
MCP_LOG_LEVEL=debug creatify-mcp

📊 Monitoring & Analytics

Usage Tracking

Monitor your Creatify API usage:

// Check remaining credits
const credits = await client.readResource({ uri: "creatify://credits" });
console.log(`Remaining credits: ${JSON.parse(credits.contents[0].text).remaining_credits}`);

Performance Metrics

• Video Creation Time: Typically 2-5 minutes
• API Response Time: Usually < 2 seconds
• Success Rate: Monitor failed requests
