Your AI agent can't create anything. It

0:03

can write you a script, it can plan you

0:06

a campaign, it can describe the perfect

0:08

shot in beautiful detail, but if you're

0:11

actually asking it to generate a video

0:13

or a stunning picture, [music] it just

0:16

hands you a homework assignment. Well,

0:18

that just changed because Hicksfield

0:20

just shipped a connector that gives your

0:23

agent actual hands. And the part almost

0:26

nobody's covering is that it does not

0:29

only work inside of Claude. It works

0:31

with Hermes and any other agent you use.

0:34

So, in this video, I'm going to show you

0:36

exactly what shipped, how to connect it

0:39

to Hermes or any other agent, how to run

0:42

your first generation, and then I'm

0:44

going to point my agent at a product and

0:47

have it take my business to the next

0:49

level. Let's get started. Here is what

0:52

landed recently. Hicksfield released an

0:55

official MCP server, one single endpoint

0:59

that your agent connects to it once, and

1:02

from that point onwards, it can generate

1:04

videos, images, cut clips, reframe them,

1:09

and write the file straight into your

1:11

working directory. This video is

1:14

sponsored by Hicksfield, by the way,

1:16

which is great because that gives us a

1:18

good amount of credits to play around

1:20

with. I'm excited for this integration

1:22

because I absolutely hate having

1:25

hundreds of tabs open for every

1:27

individual thing that I run. And this

1:29

update allows us to connect it straight

1:31

to Hermes or whichever agent you use on

1:34

a daily basis. The link is in the

1:36

description if you want to try it out

1:38

for yourself. Connecting it takes about

1:40

30 seconds, and I will show you that in

1:42

just a minute. And here we can see the

1:44

same endpoint works in Claude, Grok Bot,

1:47

ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code,

1:49

OpenClaude, and even Hermes. But, before

1:52

I connect it to anything, let me tell

1:54

you about what this connector actually

1:57

does. The MCP exposes the full Hixfeld

2:01

model stack to your agent. This means it

2:04

has access to Seedens 2.5, GPT image 2

2:08

for images, and there is more in here

2:10

than just video generation. You can use

2:13

this for marketing, for faceless videos,

2:15

for website building, for image

2:17

generation. There is a clipper that

2:19

takes a long video and cuts it into

2:21

vertical shots. There is a reframe tool

2:23

that changes aspect ratio without

2:26

cropping. There's a virality predictor

2:29

that scores a clip before you post it.

2:31

I'm not going to cover all of those

2:33

today. I am going to cover the one that

2:35

excites me personally the most and that

2:38

I feel could help my business out. And

2:41

the fastest way to show you is to

2:43

connect it. So, let's do that. If you're

2:46

on Claude, all you have to do is go

2:49

click this little plus icon, click on

2:52

connectors, add a connector, add custom

2:56

connector, and then over here we're

2:57

going to call it Hixfeld, and then we're

3:00

going to copy this link,

3:03

mcp.hixfeld.ai/mcp,

3:07

and we're going to paste it over here

3:10

and click continue. Boom, just like

3:12

that. From here we're going to pick out

3:15

the recommended

3:17

options and click add. It's going to

3:20

open up this window, which is just us

3:23

allowing access. We're going to click

3:25

allow and open Claude. That's it. As

3:28

simple as that. That's the entire setup.

3:30

And boom, you can see, connected to

3:32

Hixfeld. And we know that it's live

3:35

because if we go to connectors, we can

3:36

see Hixfeld over here. It's turned on.

3:39

Hermes is MCP native, so it's the same

3:41

endpoint added to my MCP server's

3:44

config. All you have to do is click on

3:46

Hermes, copy this, paste it into your

3:49

Hermes chat, and it will give you a link

3:52

to authenticate and that is it. You're

3:54

authenticated and boom, over here,

3:57

Cleo's installed, authenticated,

3:59

workspace selected, and we have it

4:02

running. Now, let's get to the fun part.

4:05

Let's test it out. I'm not going to

4:07

start with a campaign. I am going to

4:09

start with one prompt so you can see the

4:11

mechanics with nothing else in the way.

4:14

So, here the first prompt I've given it

4:16

is using Higgs field, make me one

4:18

product shot video of a matte black

4:21

water bottle on a concrete surface, hard

4:24

side light, and attach it in this chat

4:26

so I can watch it. And by the way,

4:28

notice what it did there. I did not tell

4:30

it which model to use. It picked based

4:33

on my request and I don't know whether

4:36

it picked Seasons 2 or Seasons 2.5. I'm

4:38

assuming it picked Seasons 2.5 just like

4:41

that. So, it has the ability to

4:43

understand your job and through that

4:45

pick the specific model that will work

4:48

best for your use case. Now, let's watch

4:50

the video.

4:52

>> [music]

4:55

>> There we go. Took literally less than a

4:58

minute and we have a video of exactly

5:01

what we asked for. Now, this cost me 45

5:05

credits, which roughly comes down to 2

5:09

and 1/2 dollars. Uh I will come back to

5:11

that number at the end because this is

5:13

the number that will decide how worth it

5:16

is this. But, that is the mechanic. One

5:19

prompt, you get one file, but a single

5:22

product shot is a demo. It's not a

5:24

business. So, let me show you what I

5:27

would actually use this for. Now, there

5:29

are three major ways that you can use

5:32

this. Let's start with number one. UGC

5:35

ads. I mean, UGC ads is a massive use

5:39

case for this type of workflow and you

5:42

can see a lot of the content being

5:45

created and a lot of the use cases are

5:48

UGC factories. So, with that, what I've

5:51

done is I've told it take that water

5:54

bottle you just made and turn it into a

5:56

15-second UGC ad, someone holding it,

5:59

talking to the camera, natural lighting,

6:01

like a real customer review. Let's see

6:03

what it gives us. Our ad is ready, so

6:06

let's go ahead and watch it together.

6:08

>> using this matte black bottle every day.

6:11

It keeps water cold for hours, doesn't

6:13

leak in my bag, and the finish feels

6:15

premium. If you need one bottle, get

6:17

this. Seriously.

6:20

>> I like that it kept the same exact

6:23

bottle shape. It kept the bottle true to

6:25

dimension. I would change the actor's

6:30

voice. He does sound AI generated, but

6:33

then again, most of the UGC videos that

6:36

are printing right now sound exactly the

6:39

same. So, if I were to use this for,

6:42

say, I had a I don't know, a bottle

6:44

company, then I would try to switch up

6:47

the voice just a little bit so that I

6:48

could differentiate myself from the rest

6:50

of the competition. But, that is a

6:52

finished ad in 4 minutes. This product

6:56

literally did not exist 4 minutes ago.

6:58

This generation, since it's 15 seconds,

7:00

cost us 75 credits, which roughly comes

7:03

down to about $4. This second use case

7:06

is a little bit more selfish, but I need

7:09

a new intro animation, and I do not want

7:11

to wait 2 days for an animator to make

7:14

one for me for every single video. So,

7:18

what I did is I asked it, "I want you to

7:19

make me a 10-second cartoon animation

7:22

for my YouTube video intro that I want

7:24

to include as a B-roll." The video's

7:26

titled Hermes Agent Can Make Videos Now,

7:29

and it's a Pictory's new MCP

7:31

functionality inside of Hermes. And then

7:33

I described what I wanted in my video,

7:36

and I asked it, "But first, help me

7:38

conceptualize the prompt before we run

7:41

it." So, I want to have a hand in what

7:44

it ends up creating. So, it asked me a

7:45

bunch of questions. I told it, "Yes,

7:47

I'll send you a picture. Here's what I

7:49

want. Here's what I have in mind." And

7:51

it came back with a concept, which I

7:53

approved, and it gave me a first still,

7:56

which I was not a fan of the anime

7:59

style, even though I picked it. So, I I

8:02

changed my mind. I told it, "Never mind.

8:04

I want a 3D Pixar or Disney-style

8:06

cartoon version." which it gave me this,

8:08

which I liked a lot more. So, I told it,

8:11

"Yes, this one is much better." I told

8:13

it, "Great. Let's Let's get started."

8:15

And it just generated the four different

8:18

stills. Still number one, still number

8:20

two, still number three, just like that.

8:23

And I'm going to tell it, "I love it.

8:24

Let's do the shots." Now, all we have to

8:28

do is wait and come back to it in a few

8:30

minutes to see what we got. And it just

8:33

finished. So, let's give that a watch

8:35

over here. So, shot number one, shot

8:37

number two, shot number three, shot

8:40

number four. That was not bad at all. A

8:42

couple of things I would change in my

8:44

next generation would be to hand it

8:47

specific logos. For example, Hicksfield,

8:49

it generated the logo from scratch,

8:52

which is something all AI agents tend to

8:54

do. So, giving it the actual logos, the

8:56

Hermes agent logo,

8:58

giving it better direction. I really

9:00

like this shot right here. This one, for

9:03

example, again, same thing, change the

9:06

Hicksfield logo. So, I handed more brand

9:09

assets. Maybe I would create a a brand

9:11

asset folder where I would input all of

9:15

my brand assets, other brand assets, the

9:17

brands I'm talking about, so on and so

9:19

forth. But, from this show, I really

9:21

like shot number one, shot number three.

9:23

Those are very good shots. The other

9:25

two, I would ask it to regenerate, but

9:28

all in all, this cost me 136 credits,

9:32

which comes down to roughly $7.5. Now,

9:35

that might sound like a lot, $7.5,

9:38

but think of the alternative, hiring an

9:41

animator, waiting 1 plus week for an

9:45

animation. I can understand why a lot of

9:47

people are switching to optimizing their

9:50

workflow with AI from video editing to

9:53

video creation to animation itself. With

9:56

that being said, let's head on to use

9:59

case number three, which I'm which I'm

10:01

also very excited about. Something I'm

10:03

excited to try this out with is for web

10:06

design. Let me show you this. You can

10:08

build out interactive websites through

10:12

the Hixfeld MCP. And there's an entire

10:16

category. I mean, look at these. These

10:17

look wonderful. And that's exactly what

10:20

I want to try it with for my own

10:23

website. So, what I've done is I've

10:24

asked Claude to build a responsive site

10:27

in white and black, blah, blah, blah,

10:29

with a red color accent and a strong

10:31

CTA. But, first I want you to help me

10:34

scope what you need from me, so ask me

10:36

questions and run me through the prompt

10:38

before you execute. And there you go. It

10:41

just built this in 5 minutes and we have

10:45

this new hero website. Just like that.

10:48

This animation right here that plays as

10:51

you scroll. I really like this. I think

10:53

I'm definitely going to be using this

10:55

more often in my other websites.

10:58

That being said, this cost us 41

11:00

credits. It was the cheapest out of the

11:03

the four tests we've done, which narrows

11:05

down to about $2.

11:07

Claude is a chat window. It runs when

11:10

I'm sitting in front of it, but Hermes

11:12

Hermes is not. Hermes runs on a machine

11:15

on a schedule whether I'm awake or not.

11:19

So, instead of typing these animation

11:21

prompts every single time I have to

11:23

film, I can turn these into a skill and

11:27

that skill can hold your preferences,

11:29

your brand colors, the style you want,

11:31

the folder your editor pulls from, or

11:34

whichever workflow you use video

11:37

animation for, or web design, or image

11:40

generation for. A prompt is a one-time

11:42

instruction, whereas a skill is a

11:44

repeatable process. Then, you can point

11:46

a cron with this skill that you've built

11:49

out in Hermes. And every time, say I

11:52

film a new YouTube video, Hermes can

11:55

read the title and the film footage's

11:58

transcript, and it can generate three

12:00

intro options for me for that specific

12:02

video, and drop them for me in the same

12:04

folder. And just like that, that's how

12:06

you can use Hermes' power, its ability

12:09

to have skills, its ability to schedule

12:12

cron jobs with this new update. Your

12:16

agent did not get an you too. Your agent

12:19

got the ability to finish. Before this,

12:21

every creative workflow ended the same

12:24

way. The agent did the thinking, and

12:26

then

12:27

handed the doing back to you. You still

12:29

have to open other apps. You still

12:31

exported the file. You still did the

12:34

last mile yourself. And that last mile

12:38

is now gone. The only thing that stood

12:40

between you and 50 different creatives

12:43

was production time, but that constraint

12:46

is now gone, as well. My verdict is that

12:49

this is the first version of agentic

12:51

creative that I would actually put into

12:53

a real business. If you want to try this

12:56

out yourself, the connector is one URL,

12:58

and it takes about 30 seconds to set up.

13:00

I'll leave the link in the first line of

13:03

the description. And comment "Hixfield"

13:05

if you want more videos like this, or

13:08

just let me know what you'd love to see

13:10

more of. If you enjoyed this video, make

13:12

sure to leave a like. And if you're new

13:14

to my channel, then subscribe, because I

13:16

have a ton more content coming your way.

13:18

Oh, and the algorithm gods just told me

13:21

you're very likely to enjoy this video,

13:23

as well. So, click it, and I'll see you

13:25

there.

Interactive Summary

This video explores the integration of the Hicksfield MCP connector, which provides AI agents like Claude and Hermes with the ability to perform direct creative tasks such as video generation, editing, and web design. By bypassing the need for manual file manipulation, the creator demonstrates how this connector allows agents to produce tangible business assets, from UGC ads to website mockups, and explains how to automate these processes using skills and scheduling.
