      },
      "args": ["--verbose"]
    }
  }
}

🚀 Performance Optimization

Batch Operations

For multiple video creations, consider using the batch processing capabilities:

// Example: Create multiple videos efficiently
const videos = await Promise.all([
  client.callTool({
    name: "create_avatar_video",
    arguments: { text: "Video 1", avatarId: "anna", aspectRatio: "16:9" }
  }),
  client.callTool({
    name: "create_avatar_video",
    arguments: { text: "Video 2", avatarId: "john", aspectRatio: "16:9" }
  })
]);

Caching Strategies

Avatar/Voice Lists: Cache for 1 hour (they rarely change)
Video Status: Poll every 5-10 seconds for active tasks
Templates: Cache for 24 hours

🔐 Security Best Practices

Never commit API keys to version control
Use environment variables for all sensitive data
Rotate API keys regularly
Monitor API usage to detect unauthorized access
Use HTTPS for all webhook URLs

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"API credentials not found"

# Solution: Set environment variables
export CREATIFY_API_ID="your-api-id"
export CREATIFY_API_KEY="your-api-key"

"Video creation failed"

Check your Creatify account credits
Verify avatar/voice IDs exist
Ensure text is not empty
Check aspect ratio is valid

"MCP connection failed"

Verify the server is running
Check Claude Desktop configuration
Ensure Node.js version >= 18

Debug Mode

# Run with debug logging
MCP_LOG_LEVEL=debug creatify-mcp

📊 Monitoring & Analytics

Usage Tracking

Monitor your Creatify API usage:

// Check remaining credits
const credits = await client.readResource({ uri: "creatify://credits" });
console.log(`Remaining credits: ${JSON.parse(credits.contents[0].text).remaining_credits}`);

Performance Metrics

Video Creation Time: Typically 2-5 minutes
API Response Time: Usually < 2 seconds
Success Rate: Monitor failed requests
