Where the Katana AI Tool Fits In

Picture a Higgsfield skill that lives in your Claude chat: hand it an edit you already like, and it stages the same sequence again with your own cast, products, or wardrobe — charged to the plan you already hold.

  • One Reference Clip, Five Photos Max
    Bring a clip you filmed yourself or a ready-made preset, together with as many as five pictures of the people, products, or outfits that should appear in the finished piece.
  • Pacing, Shot Order, and Cut Timing
    The reference decides how the shots are sequenced, how long each one holds, and where the cuts fall against the music; your photos decide who and what fills the frame.
  • No Second Bill — Same Plan, Same Credits
    Everything runs on Higgsfield models through the MCP connector, pulling from the subscription and credit balance you already have, with no extra invoice and no Claude surcharge.

Running the Katana AI Tool in Three Moves

Everything happens in the Claude chat: pick your reference, attach your own assets, then polish the rebuilt edit with plain messages.

Inside the Katana AI Tool: Presets, Connectors, and Credits

Ready-made presets, connector setup, credit previews, and format inheritance — here is what the Katana AI Tool adds to your Claude chat.

Preset Library Sorted by Category and Origin

A preset is a reference edit prepared ahead of time, carrying its motion, its look, and a prompt for slotting in new material; the library is organised by category and by whether it came from Higgsfield or the Community.

Sharing a Preset With the Community

Creators publish from the Katana page: a 3–30 second clip provides the movement, as many as 40 images travel alongside, and the prompt calls on them with @ mentions. It goes live instantly, and removals follow reports.

Wiring Up the Higgsfield MCP Connector

Inside Claude, go to Settings → Connectors, add https://mcp.higgsfield.ai/mcp, then sign in and authorise; an active subscription is needed and no API key is required.

See the Credit Cost Before You Confirm

Claude shows a card with the precise credit charge before anything runs, and extra generations or alternate takes, corrections included, can push the total higher.

Output Keeps the Reference's Format

Testing produced an MP4 that matched the reference's duration, aspect ratio, and frame rate, displayed in a chat widget and stored in Assets with a download button.

Works Alongside Genjutsu and Other MCP Skills

The same connector and the same Assets are shared with Genjutsu, so a transformed clip can serve as the next reference and an edit can keep evolving without leaving Claude.

FAQ

Katana AI Tool: Questions Creators Ask

Answers to what people ask most before running the Katana AI Tool inside Claude.

1

Is an API key required to use this tool in Claude?

Not at all. Open Settings → Connectors in Claude, add the Higgsfield MCP server URL, and sign in with an active Higgsfield subscription — no key is ever generated or pasted.

2

What kind of reference files can I upload?

A reference video or a library preset, plus as many as five photos, sent through the Higgsfield window that appears in the chat or supplied as a direct media link; Instagram and TikTok profile links are refused.

3

May I share my own preset with the library?

You can, straight from the Katana page: a 3–30 second clip supplies the motion, up to 40 images ride along, and a prompt refers to them with @ handles. It shows up immediately and may be taken down after reports.

4

Will a correction regenerate the entire edit?

Follow-up messages refine the result already in the chat, and in testing only the shots you touched were re-rendered — though changes that require new generations can cost extra credits, and moderation may decline some requests.

5

What format is the finished video in?

An MP4 that mirrors the reference's duration, aspect ratio, and frame rate, previewed in a chat widget with a download button and saved to Assets on higgsfield.ai.

6

Who gets the most out of it?

Creators who already know the edit they want — a product video in a proven layout, a fashion cut with a set rhythm, an aura-farming clip, a motion-graphics intro. Without a reference to work from, start somewhere else.
