Grab the prompts below and an optional starter skill. Claude controls Higgsfield through Higgsfield's official MCP connection.
These resources are free. Provider accounts and generation credits may cost money. Results won't be identical to the video, and nothing produces finished Shorts automatically.

Official Higgsfield MCP instructionsCopy this prompt into Claude, fill in your topic and budget. It plans first and asks before spending — no skill install needed.
I want to make a short narrated explainer video using my connected Higgsfield tools. You don't need any extra skill installed — just follow these steps. My details (ask me for anything I left as [ ]): - Topic: [TOPIC] - Audience: [AUDIENCE] - Narration language: [LANGUAGE] - Target length: [e.g. 60 seconds] - Format: [9:16 vertical or 16:9 horizontal] - My budget: [credits or amount — if empty, assume zero and only plan] Steps: 1. Check which Higgsfield tools are actually connected and what they support and cost. Don't invent tool names. If nothing is connected, tell me how to connect the official Higgsfield MCP (https://mcp.higgsfield.ai/mcp) and stop. Never ask me for passwords or keys. 2. Research the topic and list your sources. 3. Write a factual script sized to my length at a natural speaking pace, then a scene-by-scene storyboard with a consistent visual style. 4. Show me the script, storyboard, models and an itemised cost estimate. Wait for my explicit approval before spending anything. 5. After approval, generate the scenes and narration. Log every job ID and cost. Poll existing jobs before retrying. Never buy credits or subscriptions. 6. If an editing/assembly tool is available, assemble the video. Otherwise give me the assets plus clear edit instructions and captions. 7. Quality check: confirm each file actually exists, sentences are complete, narration fits the scenes, captions match, and list anything that failed. Don't claim anything was produced unless it was.
Voice cloning is optional and needs your own recording (or one you have permission to use). No voices, images or private files are included — the basic text-to-video workflow doesn't need any.
