# Use Vaaya in Muse

Connect Vaaya's remote MCP server at https://vaaya.ai/mcp. Reuse an existing connection. Otherwise, the user signs up at https://vaaya.ai/signup and completes OAuth in their own browser. Verify with vaaya_test_connection. Do not ask for credentials in chat.

## Tool flow

- **vaaya_test_connection:** Check the account connection before work starts.
- **consult:** Describe a goal when the service or inputs are unclear; it suggests calls and does not execute them.
- **use:** Run one chosen service action with its required inputs and a max_cost_cents ceiling.
- **result:** Poll a job_id returned by an async call; do not start the paid work again.

Discover current services and input schemas at https://vaaya.ai/api/catalog or https://vaaya.ai/docs/tools. A catalog listing is not permission to spend. Before paid calls, agree on a total budget, check each price and schema, set max_cost_cents on use, track actual charges, and cite URLs and dates for research. Account and feature availability can vary. Supported x402 services appear in the Vaaya catalog; do not assume arbitrary x402 URLs are payable through Vaaya.

## Recipes to try

- [Search and read](https://vaaya.ai/recipes/search-scrape): Find current pages, read the useful ones, and cite the source URLs. Example: “Find three current sources on this topic, read them, and tell me where they agree.”
- [Deep research](https://vaaya.ai/catalog/deep-research): Investigate a larger question across several sources and return a cited report. Example: “Research this market with primary sources and a $1 total budget.”
- [Product demo](https://vaaya.ai/recipes/product-demos): Record a browser walkthrough, then make a shareable demo video. Example: “Plan a 60-second demo of my app. Show the calls and estimated cost first.”
- [Find and enrich leads](https://vaaya.ai/recipes/find-enrich-leads): Find relevant companies and add verified context before outreach. Example: “Find five companies that fit this profile and cite the evidence for each.”
- [Hotel Lobby video](https://vaaya.ai/recipes/colors): Put one or two consenting adults into a curated performance video. Example: “Help me choose the left and right performers, check the price, and prepare the photos.”

## Hotel Lobby: choose who appears on each side

Hotel Lobby lets Muse replace the left performer, the right performer, or both in one video. Left and right mean the viewer's perspective in the source video. Ask who belongs on each side and collect 2–5 photos per consenting adult, keeping each person's photo set separate. For both, call colors/generate with two performers entries: slot: "left" with the left person's image_file_ids, and slot: "right" with the right person's image_file_ids; set consent: true for each after confirming permission. Omit a slot to keep its original performer. Include the user's prompt and variant, then poll result(job_id) for the finished video with original audio. Standard is 7 seconds and Extended is 29 seconds. A completed $10 paid top-up is required; welcome credit does not replace it. Check availability and current prices at https://vaaya.ai/api/colors and obtain spending authorization before generation. Full instructions: https://vaaya.ai/recipes/colors.

## Paste into Muse

Read https://vaaya.ai/muse.md and help me use Vaaya in Muse. Reuse my existing Vaaya connection if there is one. Otherwise connect the remote MCP server at https://vaaya.ai/mcp, open https://vaaya.ai/signup if I need an account, and let me complete sign-in and OAuth approval in my browser. Verify with vaaya_test_connection. Never ask me to paste a password, API key, or token into chat.

Show me how to use consult to choose a service, use to run a specific call with max_cost_cents, and result to poll an async job. Point me to relevant recipes at https://vaaya.ai/recipes. For each task, discover the current schema and price, ask for my total budget before paid work, keep each call within that budget, and report what was charged. Cite source URLs and dates when researching. Reuse results before paying for another call.

For now, only connect and verify. Do not make a paid call, purchase, or trade. If a step fails, tell me what failed and what I need to do.
