# Evolink Video — AI Video Generation

Generate AI videos with 37 models including Sora, Kling, Veo 3, Seedance, Hailuo, WAN, and Grok. Text-to-video, image-to-video, first-last-frame, video editing, and audio generation — all through one API.

> This is the video-focused view of [evolink-media](https://clawhub.ai/EvoLinkAI/evolink-media). Install the full skill for image and music generation too.

## Setup

Get your API key at [evolink.ai](https://evolink.ai/signup?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=video-generation-skill-for-openclaw) and set `EVOLINK_API_KEY`.

### Bridge MCP Server (recommended)

For the full tool experience, bridge the MCP server `@evolinkai/evolink-media` ([npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@evolinkai/evolink-media)):

**Via mcporter:**
```bash
mcporter call --stdio "npx -y @evolinkai/evolink-media@latest" list_models
```

**Or add to mcporter config:**
```json
{
  "evolink-media": {
    "transport": "stdio",
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@evolinkai/evolink-media@latest"],
    "env": { "EVOLINK_API_KEY": "your-key-here" }
  }
}
```

**Direct install** (Claude Code): `claude mcp add evolink-media -e EVOLINK_API_KEY=your-key -- npx -y @evolinkai/evolink-media@latest`

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `prompt` | string | — | Video description (required) |
| `model` | enum | `seedance-1.5-pro` | Model to use |
| `duration` | integer | model default | Duration in seconds |

## File Upload

For image-to-video generation, upload reference images first:

1. Call `upload_file` with `file_path`, `base64_data`, or `file_url` → get `file_url` (synchronous)
2. Use that `file_url` as `image_urls` input for `generate_video`

**Supported:** Images (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP). Max **100MB**. Files expire after **72 hours**. Quota: 100 files (default) / 500 (VIP).

## Workflow

1. Upload reference images/video if needed (via `upload_file`)
2. Call `generate_video` → get `task_id`
3. Poll `check_task` every 10–15s until `completed`
4. Download result URLs (expire in 24h)

## Without MCP Server — Direct File Hosting

When MCP tools are not available, you can still upload files to Evolink's hosting via `curl`:

```bash
# Upload local file
curl -X POST https://files-api.evolink.ai/api/v1/files/upload/stream \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EVOLINK_API_KEY" \
  -F "file=@/path/to/image.jpg"

# Upload from URL
curl -X POST https://files-api.evolink.ai/api/v1/files/upload/url \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EVOLINK_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"file_url": "https://example.com/image.jpg"}'
```

Response returns `file_url` (public link, expires in 72h). Supported: Images (JPEG/PNG/GIF/WebP). Max **100MB**.
