What is clone-video-ad-seedance-arcads-mcp?

A workflow for copying an existing video ad to a different product using Seedance 2.0, a video-generation model, through the Arcads MCP server.

It helps analyze a source ad’s dialogue, structure, camera work, and tone, adapt those elements to another product, generate a new video, and retrieve the finished asset.

It removes the need to manually inspect video frames, transcribe dialogue, upload files, authenticate with the service, and repeatedly check generation status.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00111	$0.05894
Opus 5.5	$0.00044	$0.02358
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00022	$0.01179
Haiku 4.5	$0.00011	$0.00589

Security

Grade A, and why

clone-video-ad-seedance-arcads-mcp scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Clone Video Ad — Seedance 2.0 (Arcads MCP)

Clone an existing video ad onto a different product. The agent analyzes the source ad with the Arcads MCP's arcads_analyze_media tool (Gemini watches the whole video — dialogue, beats, camera, tone), adapts the structure for the user's product, and generates a new Seedance 2.0 video via arcads_generate_video_seedance_20.

This is the MCP-native version. It replaces the REST clone-ad sub-skill's machinery — no .env, no HTTP Basic auth, no presigned-upload plumbing, no ffmpeg frame extraction, no local whisper transcription, no session-folder REST calls. The Arcads MCP server handles auth, file upload, and analysis.

REST `clone-ad` step	MCP replacement
`ffmpeg` extract-frames + read frames + `whisper` transcribe	one `arcads_analyze_media` call (Gemini)
Hand-rolled curl auth / `.env` HTTP Basic	MCP handles auth — no `.env` needed for generation
`POST /v2/videos/generate` (model `seedance-2.0`)	`arcads_generate_video_seedance_20`
`GET /v1/assets/{id}` polling loop	`arcads_watch_asset` (status + download URL), with a REST fallback (see Polling)
N parallel POSTs for N variations	`nbGenerations` (1–10) in a single call
Session folder / project / add-to-project	nothing — `productId` auto-selects

⚠️ Reference files need an explicit upload in remote agent clients. Automatic local-path upload only works in MCP clients with explicit filesystem bridging. In Cursor the MCP server cannot read local disk; passing a local path returns 400 REFERENCE_FILE_NOT_FOUND. You must upload via arcads_get_upload_url + an HTTP PUT, then pass the returned S3 filePath. See Uploading reference files below.

Tools used (Arcads MCP)

Tool	Role
`arcads_list_products`	Resolve `productId` (skip if you already have it; the generate tools auto-select when there's only one product).
`arcads_get_upload_url`	Get a presigned S3 URL for each local reference file (source video, product image). Required in remote agent clients such as Cursor — see Uploading below.
`arcads_analyze_media`	Watch + transcribe the source ad. `referenceVideos: ["<s3 filePath>"]`. Returns the blueprint in `data.generatedText`.
`arcads_generate_video_seedance_20`	Generate the clone. Key params below.
`arcads_watch_asset`	Poll status and get the signed download URL once generated. Primary polling tool; REST fallback below.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
