Higgsfield MCP + Claude Just Changed How I Make AI Films

Higgsfield just dropped an MCP tool that connects directly to Claude — and the way you interact with AI video generation may never look the same. This isn't a breakdown of what MCP is. It's a real testing session of what happens when you actually try to use it for AI filmmaking — including the moments where it didn't cooperate, the moment it finally clicked, and what it means for how we build films going forward. I ran it through character reference sheets, turnaround panels, and full Seedance 2.0 video generations — all from inside Claude, no platform-switching. 🎬 The gap between what I expected and what actually happened taught me something important about how to talk to this thing correctly. ⚠️ Fair warning: the hype is calling this the end of prompting. That's not what I found. But what I did find is genuinely different. What does your current AI filmmaking workflow look like — are you still switching between tools manually?
