clone-video-ad-seedance-arcads-mcp

clone-video-ad-seedance-arcads-mcp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from krusemediallc/cursor-ad-agent. It costs 111 tokens per session (5,894 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

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.

In plain words
What is it for?
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.
Why use it?
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.

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 13d 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.
