Runnable examples for the Muse API by useapi.net: make images and 10-second videos with sound using Muse (muse.ai), Meta's AI agent, through a REST API that runs on your Muse subscription: Free, Power $20 or Maximum $100 a month (as of October 2026). Combine up to 9 photos into one picture, restore and colorize old photos, animate a still with spoken dialogue, and replace a person in a video. Every file Muse makes is an asset id the next job takes as an input, so edits chain with no downloads or re-uploads.

| Example | What it does | Tutorial | Tutorial date |
|---|---|---|---|
images-videos/ |
Three photos become one picture of a rider on a vintage motorcycle in the surf, the picture becomes a 10-second video in which she shouts a line, and a woman from a fourth photo replaces her in that video. Also two images from text, and a hundred-year-old portrait restored, colorized and brought to life.

narrated-short/ |
Narrated 30-second Short from a topic: a chat writes the script as JSON, three 9:16 video jobs run at once with the same off-screen narrator speaking each line, and a last chat joins the clips with ffmpeg into one MP4. About 2 to 3 minutes per Short. Optional fixed voice through Muse text to speech. Node.js and Python | Make a 30-second narrated Short | October 18, 2026 |
demo/ |
Live chat app: one self-contained HTML page that chats with the Muse agent through the API, with answers streamed live, files and cards, approvals, several live chats at once, workspace files and the agent's permissions. Open the live demo or open demo/index.html locally. Vanilla JS, no build |
Chat Streaming Guide | October 12, 2026 |
skills/muse-video/ |
Agent skill for Claude Code, Codex and other coding agents: ask for an image or a clip and the agent makes it with Muse (text to image, photo compositing, old-photo restoration, talking photos, person swap in a video) and downloads the .webp or .mp4, never paying twice for a request. Install: npx skills add useapi/muse-api --skill muse-video. Bash, curl, jq |

n8n/ |
n8n app: upload an old photo, Muse restores and colorizes it, you pick or redo, then the person in it says your line in a 10-second video with sound. 1 or 2 takes, the real share of the week used on the result page, optional Google Drive save, and a Google Sheet batch mode. Core n8n nodes, no community nodes. Plus narrated faceless Shorts from a topic: a script page, one narrated 9:16 scene per part, joined and saved to Google Drive | n8n template #20989, #21207 | October 19, 2026 |
| MCP server | Hosted MCP server: connect Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Windsurf to https://api.useapi.net/v1/muse/mcp and the assistant gets 37 tools for Muse images, videos, chat, files and permissions. Nothing to install or host |
MCP Server | October 13, 2026 |
You need Node.js v21 or newer or Python 3.x (no dependencies to install), a useapi.net API token, and a Muse account (free or paid) added with the Muse setup.
git clone https://github.com/useapi/muse-api.git
cd muse-api/images-videos
node ./images-videos.mjs <API_TOKEN> <EMAIL>
# or, equivalently, with Python:
python3 ./images-videos.py <API_TOKEN> <EMAIL>
# just one image and one video (restore an old photo, then make it talk):
node ./images-videos.mjs <API_TOKEN> <EMAIL> --steps portrait-videoEach example's README lists its options. Every endpoint is documented in the Muse API reference.
useapi.net also runs a hosted Model Context Protocol server for Muse, so an AI assistant such as Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code Copilot can use Muse on your Muse subscription. It has 37 tools: generate images and videos, chat with the Muse agent, answer its permission requests, open a live view of its web browser, manage the account's Library and files, and reset the account. Each tool calls the Muse API, so the same rules, limits and allowance apply. Nothing needs to be installed or hosted.
- Endpoint:
https://api.useapi.net/v1/muse/mcp - Transport: Streamable HTTP
- Authorization: your useapi.net API token in the
Authorization: Bearer …header, and at least one Muse account added with the Muse setup
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http useapi-muse https://api.useapi.net/v1/muse/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json):

"useapi-muse": {
"url": "https://api.useapi.net/v1/muse/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
}
}
}
}VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json):

"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
}
}
}
}Windsurf setup, a curl test, the full list of 37 tools and how long-running videos and chats are handled: Muse MCP Server.
This repo is also a Claude Code plugin marketplace. The plugin adds the hosted Muse MCP server and the muse-video agent skill, and reads your token from the USEAPI_TOKEN environment variable, so set it before you start Claude Code:
export USEAPI_TOKEN=user:12345-... # your useapi.net API tokenThen, inside Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add useapi/muse-api
/plugin install muse@useapi-muse
On Claude Code 2.1.275 or later, /plugin install muse --marketplace useapi/muse-api does both in one step. Run /mcp to check that useapi-muse is connected.
This repo is also a Gemini CLI extension with the same MCP server and the muse-video agent skill:
gemini extensions install https://github.com/useapi/muse-apiThe install asks for your useapi.net API token and keeps it in the system keychain. Change it later with gemini extensions config useapi-muse, and check the connection with gemini mcp list. The muse-video skill's scripts read USEAPI_TOKEN from your shell, so export it as well if you use the skill.

- YouTube: Meta Muse API demo, a narrated 30-second Short made only with Muse API calls, 3 photos in, 1 talking video out
- Is there a Meta Muse API? Yes, through useapi.net: the useapi.net Muse API makes 10-second videos with sound and spoken dialogue, images, photo edits, person swaps and live chat with the Muse agent, on your Muse subscription. Meta sells no Muse video API: its Model API has the Muse Image model at $0.01 per image, but no video model and no API for the Muse agent (as of October 2026). Is There a Meta Muse Video API? compares the options.
- How much does it cost? Through useapi.net, an image or a video has no price of its own: it uses the weekly allowance of your Muse subscription, and the free plan works. In our tests on the free plan, a video used 2 to 3 percent of the week and an image 0 to 1 percent, and a paid plan gets a bigger allowance (usage limits). Meta's Model API sells no Muse video at any price (as of October 2026).
- Is there a Muse API key? Through useapi.net, one useapi.net API token is all the key you need, for the REST API and the MCP server alike. Add your muse.ai email and password once with Setup Muse, and we keep the account signed in, with no cookies to copy. Create the account in the US or Canada, where Muse is available, then call the API from anywhere.
- How do I set the aspect ratio, length or resolution? Through useapi.net, in the prompt: the Muse API has no parameters for them, because Muse picks its own model. Write
in exactly 16:9 aspect ratio. Every video is about 10 seconds at about 720p, with sound, and lines written in quotes are spoken. - Can I use my own photos and videos? Through useapi.net, yes: upload them with the Muse API (up to 50 MB each) and pass the
assetIdasimage_1..image_9; video jobs also takevideo_1..video_3andaudio_1..audio_3. All inputs of one job must be on the same Muse account, and uploads use none of the weekly allowance.
这是 useapi.net 的 Muse API 示例代码。通过 REST API 调用 Meta 的 AI 助手 Muse（muse.ai），生成图片和带声音、带对白的 10 秒视频：多张照片合成一张图、老照片修复上色、让照片开口说话、视频换人。每个生成的文件都有一个 assetId，可以直接作为下一个任务的输入，无需下载再上传。
- 使用你的 Muse 订阅：免费版、Power 每月 20 美元或 Maximum 每月 100 美元（截至 2026 年 10 月），免费版即可。Muse 按周计算额度：免费版每个视频约占每周额度的 2% 到 3%，每张图片约 0% 到 1%。
- 没有画幅、时长、分辨率参数，全部写在提示词里，例如
in exactly 16:9 aspect ratio。视频约 10 秒、约 720p，引号里的台词会被说出来。 - 价格：useapi.net 每月 15 美元（含所有 API），不按图片或视频计费。
- Muse 目前只在美国和加拿大开放（Meta 官方说明），账号需要在这两个国家注册；绑定后可以在任何地方调用 API。
- MCP 服务器：在 Claude Code、Cursor、VS Code 或 Windsurf 中连接托管的 MCP 服务器
https://api.useapi.net/v1/muse/mcp（Streamable HTTP，Authorization: Bearer填 useapi.net API token），即可获得 37 个工具：生成图片和视频、与 Muse 对话、处理权限请求、管理文件。说明：Muse MCP Server。 - useapi.net 是独立的第三方 API，与 Meta 无关联。

useapi.net is a third-party REST API for AI services, not affiliated with or endorsed by Meta. The Muse API runs on your Muse subscription, so each image or video uses that account's weekly Muse allowance, with no price per image or video. One $15/month subscription covers every useapi.net API and 3 Muse accounts.
