Integration

Pika integration

Official Pika video generation API for creating videos from text, images, and Pikaffects. The API runs at devapi.pika.art, authenticates with an X-API-KEY header, returns a video_id for generation jobs, and exposes a video lookup endpoint for status, progress, and output URL.

What you can do with Pika

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

generate_pikaffectsGenerate pikaffectsPOSTGenerates a Pika video effect from an uploaded image.
generate_turbo_image_to_videoGenerate turbo image to videoPOSTGenerates a Pika Turbo video from an uploaded image.
generate_turbo_text_to_videoGenerate turbo text to videoPOSTGenerates a Pika Turbo video from a text prompt.
get_videoGet videoGETGets Pika video status and output metadata.

Use Pika from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Pika in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Pika operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs
