MCP Server Guide

Use Wan 2.7 T2V from Claude Code

Wan 2.7 T2V is Alibaba's video generation flagship. Notable for its long-form support (up to 30 seconds, longest on the platform) and strong stylized/anime aesthetic. The right pick for anime-style or fantasy video work.

If you use Claude Code and you want Wan 2.7 T2V available as a native tool that the agent can call directly, the AetherWave MCP server wires it up in one command. No SDK to learn, no separate API key per provider, no polling loop to write.
