FAQ from Nova Reel Video MCP

What are the prerequisites for using the server?

Python 3.8+, an AWS account with Bedrock access, an S3 bucket for output, and AWS credentials with the required permissions (bedrock:InvokeModel, bedrock:StartAsyncInvoke, bedrock:GetAsyncInvoke, bedrock:ListFoundationModels, and S3 operations).

How are generated videos stored and accessed?

Videos are stored in your S3 bucket under a folder named by the job ID (s3://your-bucket/job-id/output.mp4). Each completed job returns an HTTPS URL to the video.

What are the supported video specifications?

Duration: 12–120 seconds (must be multiples of 6). Frame rate: 24 fps (recommended). Dimensions: 1280x720 (HD). Format: MP4. Model: amazon.nova-reel-v1:1.

Are there any known limitations or caveats?

Jobs are tracked in memory and are lost if the server restarts; for production use, implement persistent storage. Duration must be a multiple of 6 seconds. The only supported dimension is 1280x720.

What transport and authentication options are available?

The server supports stdio (direct MCP client integration), SSE (web interface on port 8000), and HTTP Streaming (bidirectional transport on port 8001). Authentication uses AWS credentials passed via CLI arguments or environment variables (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION, S3_BUCKET).
