Use Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast from Claude & Cursor (MCP)

Point Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client at the ModelRunner MCP server and Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast becomes a tool your assistant can call directly — it authorizes via OAuth (no API key in config) and runs this model with the run_model tool using the endpoint bytedance/seedance-v1-pro-fast.

MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "modelrunner": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.modelrunner.run/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http modelrunner https://mcp.modelrunner.run/mcp

Then ask your assistant, for example: “Run bytedance/seedance-v1-pro-fast on ModelRunner to generate video”. MCP setup guide.

Model Details

Model Details

Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast turns a text prompt — or a single still image used as the first frame — into a short, silent video clip. It is the fast, lower-cost tier of the Seedance 1.0 Pro line, tuned to render smooth motion and coherent multi-shot narrative several times cheaper and quicker than the full Pro model, at 480p or 720p. Give it a descriptive prompt for text-to-video, or supply an `image` to animate that frame forward for image-to-video. Clips run 3 to 12 seconds at 24fps. The output has no audio track — it is a purely visual generator.

## Best for - Turning a text prompt into a short video clip quickly and at low cost - Animating a still photo (first frame) into motion for image-to-video - Rapid iteration, previews, and storyboards where speed and price matter more than maximum resolution - Social clips, product motion, and b-roll at 480p or 720p - Multi-shot narrative shots with smooth, controllable camera movement

## Choose another model when - You need 1080p or higher resolution — use the standard Pro tier `bytedance/seedance-v1-pro` - You need sound in the video — this model is silent, so use an audio-capable video model - You need last-frame control or multiple reference images — those modes are not supported here - You want a still image rather than a video — use a text-to-image model

## Tips - For image-to-video, `image` sets the first frame; `aspect_ratio` is ignored when an image is supplied because the clip matches the image's shape - Set `camera_fixed: true` to lock the camera for a static shot; leave it false for dynamic camera moves - Keep `duration` short (3-12 seconds) for the fastest, cheapest generations - Choose `resolution` "480p" for the cheapest previews and "720p" for delivery-quality clips

## Limitations - No 1080p and no audio — for either, pick a different Seedance tier or an audio-capable model - Fast generation trades some fine detail and temporal stability versus the full Pro model - Very long prompts with many distinct shots can drift in consistency across cuts

To run via the ModelRunner JavaScript client: ```js import { modelrunner } from "@modelrunner/client";

const result = await modelrunner.subscribe("bytedance/seedance-v1-pro-fast", { input: { prompt: "a hot air balloon festival at sunrise over rolling lavender fields, balloons slowly lifting off, soft golden light", resolution: "720p", duration: 5, aspect_ratio: "16:9", }, }); ```
