version: "1.0.0" name: fal-ai-media description: Unified media generation via fal.ai MCP — image, video, and audio. Covers text-to-image (Nano Banana), text/image-to-video (Seedance, Kling, Veo 3), text-to-speech (CSM-1B), and video-to-audio (ThinkSound). Use when the user wants to generate images, videos, or audio with AI. origin: ECC

fal.ai Media Generation

Generate images, videos, and audio using fal.ai models via MCP.

When to Activate

User wants to generate images from text prompts
Creating videos from text or images
Generating speech, music, or sound effects
Any media generation task
User says "generate image", "create video", "text to speech", "make a thumbnail", or similar

MCP Requirement

fal.ai MCP server must be configured. Add to ~/.claude.json:

json

"fal-ai": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "fal-ai-mcp-server"],
  "env": { "FAL_KEY": "YOUR_FAL_KEY_HERE" }
}

Get an API key at fal.ai.

MCP Tools

The fal.ai MCP provides these tools:

search — Find available models by keyword
find — Get model details and parameters
generate — Run a model with parameters
result — Check async generation status
status — Check job status
cancel — Cancel a running job
estimate_cost — Estimate generation cost
models — List popular models
upload — Upload files for use as inputs

Image Generation

Nano Banana 2 (Fast)

    "image_size": "square",
    "num_images": 1,
    "guidance_scale": 7.5
  }
)

Common Image Parameters

Param	Type	Options	Notes
`prompt`	string	required	Describe what you want
`image_size`	string	`square`, `portrait_4_3`, `landscape_16_9`, `portrait_16_9`, `landscape_4_3`	Aspect ratio
`num_images`	number	1-4	How many to generate
`seed`	number	any integer	Reproducibility
`guidance_scale`	number	1-20	How closely to follow the prompt (higher = more literal)

Image Editing

Use Nano Banana 2 with an input image for inpainting, outpainting, or style transfer:

# First upload the source image
upload(file_path: "/path/to/image.png")
 
# Then generate with image input
generate(
  app_id: "fal-ai/nano-banana-2",
  input_data: {
    "prompt": "same scene but in watercolor style",
    "image_url": "<uploaded_url>",
    "image_size": "landscape_16_9"
  }
)

Video Generation

Seedance 1.0 Pro (ByteDance)

Best for: text-to-video, image-to-video with high motion quality.

generate(
  app_id: "fal-ai/seedance-1-0-pro",
  input_data: {
    "prompt": "a drone flyover of a mountain lake at golden hour, cinematic",
    "duration": "5s",
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
    "seed": 42
  }
)

Kling Video v3 Pro

Best for: text/image-to-video with native audio generation.

generate(
  app_id: "fal-ai/kling-video/v3/pro",
  input_data: {
    "prompt": "ocean waves crashing on a rocky coast, dramatic clouds",
    "duration": "5s",
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
  }
)

Veo 3 (Google DeepMind)

Best for: video with generated sound, high visual quality.

generate(
  app_id: "fal-ai/veo-3",
  input_data: {
    "prompt": "a bustling Tokyo street market at night, neon signs, crowd noise",
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
  }
)

Image-to-Video

Start from an existing image:

generate(
  app_id: "fal-ai/seedance-1-0-pro",
  input_data: {
    "prompt": "camera slowly zooms out, gentle wind moves the trees",
    "image_url": "<uploaded_image_url>",
    "duration": "5s"
  }
)

Video Parameters

Param	Type	Options	Notes
`prompt`	string	required	Describe the video
`duration`	string	`"5s"`, `"10s"`	Video length
`aspect_ratio`	string	`"16:9"`, `"9:16"`, `"1:1"`	Frame ratio
`seed`	number	any integer	Reproducibility
`image_url`	string	URL	Source image for image-to-video

Audio Generation

CSM-1B (Conversational Speech)

Text-to-speech with natural, conversational quality.

generate(
  app_id: "fal-ai/csm-1b",
  input_data: {
    "text": "Hello, welcome to the demo. Let me show you how this works.",
    "speaker_id": 0
  }
)

ThinkSound (Video-to-Audio)

Generate matching audio from video content.

  app_id: "fal-ai/thinksound",
  input_data: {
    "video_url": "<video_url>",
    "prompt": "ambient forest sounds with birds chirping"
  }
)

ElevenLabs (via API, no MCP)

For professional voice synthesis, use ElevenLabs directly:

python

import os
import requests
resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/text-to-speech/<voice_id>",
    headers={
        "xi-api-key": os.environ["ELEVENLABS_API_KEY"],
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    json={
        "text": "Your text here",
        "model_id": "eleven_turbo_v2_5",
        "voice_settings": {"stability": 0.5, "similarity_boost": 0.75}
    }
)
with open("output.mp3", "wb") as f:
    f.write(resp.content)

VideoDB Generative Audio

If VideoDB is configured, use its generative audio:

python

# Voice generation
audio = coll.generate_voice(text="Your narration here", voice="alloy")
# Music generation
music = coll.generate_music(prompt="upbeat electronic background music", duration=30)
# Sound effects
sfx = coll.generate_sound_effect(prompt="thunder crack followed by rain")

Cost Estimation

Before generating, check estimated cost:

estimate_cost(
  estimate_type: "unit_price",
  endpoints: {
    "fal-ai/nano-banana-pro": {
      "unit_quantity": 1
    }
  }
)

Model Discovery

Find models for specific tasks:

search(query: "text to video")
find(endpoint_ids: ["fal-ai/seedance-1-0-pro"])
models()

Tips

Use seed for reproducible results when iterating on prompts
Start with lower-cost models (Nano Banana 2) for prompt iteration, then switch to Pro for finals
For video, keep prompts descriptive but concise — focus on motion and scene
Image-to-video produces more controlled results than pure text-to-video
Check estimate_cost before running expensive video generations
