fal.ai Media Generation

Drift-prone skill. fal.ai model IDs, pricing, inputs, and MCP tool names change quickly. Search or fetch the current model metadata before promising a specific model, parameter, output format, or cost.

Generate images, videos, and audio using fal.ai models via MCP.

When to Activate

User wants to generate images from text prompts
Creating videos from text or images
Generating speech, music, or sound effects
Any media generation task
User says "generate image", "create video", "text to speech", "make a thumbnail", or similar

MCP Requirement

fal.ai MCP server must be configured. Add to ~/.claude.json:

"fal-ai": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "fal-ai-mcp-server"],
  "env": { "FAL_KEY": "YOUR_FAL_KEY_HERE" }
}

Get an API key at fal.ai.

MCP Tools

The fal.ai MCP provides these tools:

search — Find available models by keyword
find — Get model details and parameters
generate — Run a model with parameters
result — Check async generation status
status — Check job status
cancel — Cancel a running job
estimate_cost — Estimate generation cost
models — List popular models
upload — Upload files for use as inputs

Image Generation

Nano Banana 2 (Fast)

generate(
  app_id: "fal-ai/nano-banana-2",
  input_data: {
    "prompt": "a futuristic cityscape at sunset, cyberpunk style",
    "image_size": "landscape_16_9",
    "num_images": 1,
    "seed": 42
  }
)

Nano Banana Pro (High Fidelity)

Best for: production images, realism, typography, detailed prompts.

generate(
  app_id: "fal-ai/nano-banana-pro",

  }
)

Common Image Parameters

Param	Type	Options	Notes
`prompt`	string	required	Describe what you want
`image_size`	string	`square`, `portrait_4_3`, `landscape_16_9`, `portrait_16_9`, `landscape_4_3`	Aspect ratio
`num_images`	number	1-4	How many to generate

`guidance_scale`	number	1-20	How closely to follow the prompt (higher = more literal)

Image Editing

Use Nano Banana 2 with an input image for inpainting, outpainting, or style transfer:

# First upload the source image
upload(file_path: "/path/to/image.png")

# Then generate with image input
generate(
  app_id: "fal-ai/nano-banana-2",

## Audio Generation

### CSM-1B (Conversational Speech)

### ThinkSound (Video-to-Audio)
Generate matching audio from video content.

generate( app_id: "fal-ai/thinksound", input_data: { "video_url": "<video_url>", "prompt": "ambient forest sounds with birds chirping" } )


### ElevenLabs (via API, no MCP)
For professional voice synthesis, use ElevenLabs directly:

```python
import os
import requests

resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/text-to-speech/<voice_id>",
    headers={
        "xi-api-key": os.environ["ELEVENLABS_API_KEY"],
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    json={
        "text": "Your text here",
        "model_id": "eleven_turbo_v2_5",
        "voice_settings": {"stability": 0.5, "similarity_boost": 0.75}
    }
)
with open("output.mp3", "wb") as f:
    f.write(resp.content)

VideoDB Generative Audio

If VideoDB is configured, use its generative audio:

# Voice generation
audio = coll.generate_voice(text="Your narration here", voice="alloy")

# Music generation
music = coll.generate_music(prompt="upbeat electronic background music", duration=30)

# Sound effects
sfx = coll.generate_sound_effect(prompt="thunder crack followed by rain")

Cost Estimation

Before generating, check estimated cost:

estimate_cost(
  estimate_type: "unit_price",
  endpoints: {
    "fal-ai/nano-banana-pro": {
      "unit_quantity": 1
    }
  }
)

Model Discovery

Find models for specific tasks:

search(query: "text to video")
find(endpoint_ids: ["fal-ai/seedance-1-0-pro"])
models()

Tips

Use seed for reproducible results when iterating on prompts
Start with lower-cost models (Nano Banana 2) for prompt iteration, then switch to Pro for finals
For video, keep prompts descriptive but concise — focus on motion and scene
Image-to-video produces more controlled results than pure text-to-video
Check estimate_cost before running expensive video generations

ai-video-generation
Generate AI videos on RunComfy via the `runcomfy` CLI — a smart router across the full video-model catalog: HappyHorse 1.0 (Arena #1, native in-pass audio), Wan-AI Wan 2-7 (open weights, audio-driven lip-sync), ByteDance Seedance v2 / 1-5 / 1-0 (multi-modal cinematic), Kling 3.0 / 2-6, Google Veo 3-1, MiniMax Hailuo 2-3, ByteDance Dreamina 3-0. Covers text-to-video (t2v), image-to-video (i2v), and Veo's video-extend endpoint. The skill picks the right model for the user's intent (Arena-#1 quality, multi-shot character identity, in-pass audio, cinematic motion, fastest path, sub-15s clip, longest duration) and ships each model's documented prompting patterns plus the minimal `runcomfy run` invoke. Triggers on "generate video", "make a video", "text to video", "t2v", "image to video", "i2v", "animate", "AI video", "make X move", "video from prompt", "video from image", or any explicit ask to produce a video clip from prompt or still.
