Higgsfield Virality Predictor in Claude: score your video before you post it

This is the guide for connecting the Higgsfield Virality Predictor to Claude. I wrote it so that anyone can follow it, even a five year old. Go one step at a time. Do not skip steps.

The idea in one minute

You made a video. You are not sure if people will like it.

Higgsfield has a tool called the Virality Predictor. Think of it as a crystal ball for your video.

You show your video to Claude. Claude asks the crystal ball. The crystal ball tells you:

• will people probably love it or skip it
• is the start strong
• how many people will probably keep watching
• the exact moment where people stop watching or skip

The tool learned from thousands of videos. That is how it can guess.

It is a guess, not magic. Use it as a second opinion before you post.

Words you will see

• Claude: the AI helper you chat with.
• Higgsfield: a website with AI tools for video and images.
• Connector (also called MCP): a plug. It lets Claude use another app. Here, it lets Claude use Higgsfield.
• Hook: the first seconds of your video.
• Hold rate: how many people stay and keep watching.

What you need (3 things)

1. A Claude account. You can use claude.ai in your browser, or the Claude Desktop app.
2. A Higgsfield account with a paid subscription. Higgsfield says you need an active paid plan to connect it. Without it, this will not work.
3. Your finished video on your computer.

You do not need any key or password file. Just your two accounts.

Step 1: plug Higgsfield into Claude

Do this one time only.

1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the Claude Desktop app).
2. Click Settings.
3. Click Connectors.
4. Click Add custom connector.
5. In the name box, type: Higgsfield
6. In the address box, copy and paste exactly this: https://mcp.higgsfield.ai/mcp
7. Click Connect.
8. A Higgsfield window opens. Log in to your Higgsfield account and click to allow. If you are already logged in on higgsfield.ai, it does this by itself.
9. Go back to Claude. You should now see Higgsfield in your list of connectors. That means the plug is in.

Safety tip: when the allow window opens, read what it asks. The plug can act inside your Higgsfield account. Only allow it if you trust it.

Using Claude Code (the terminal tool) instead? It connects another way. Open this Higgsfield help page, find the part called "How do I connect in Claude Code, OpenClaw, or Hermes?", copy the message in it, and send it to Claude Code.

Step 2: show Claude your video

1. Open a new chat in Claude.
2. Click the plus or paperclip button and add your video.
3. Copy this message and paste it in the chat. Send it.

Use the Higgsfield Virality Predictor on my video.
Tell me in very simple words:
1. Will it probably go viral?
2. Is the start (the hook) strong?
3. How many people will probably keep watching?
4. At what moment do people stop or skip?
Do not make up numbers. If the tool does not give a number, say so.

1. Wait a little. Claude will ask Higgsfield and bring back the answer.

If Claude asks "Can I use Higgsfield?", click allow.

Important: Higgsfield says the tool works on clips up to 15 seconds. If your video is longer, show Claude the first 15 seconds. That is where the hook lives anyway.

Step 3: read the answer

Look at these four things:

• Viral score: how likely people are to share and spread it. Higher is better.
• Hook score: how strong your first seconds are. If this is low, change your start.
• Hold rate: how many people stay. If this is low, your video is losing people.
• The stop and skip moment: the second where people leave. This is the most useful one. It tells you what to fix first.

Higgsfield also says it shows a brain picture (a heatmap) of which parts of the brain your clip wakes up.

Step 4: fix one thing, then test again

1. Look at the moment where people leave.
2. Ask yourself: what is on the screen at that second? What am I saying?
3. Copy this message into Claude and fill the square brackets:

People leave my video at second [write the second].
At that moment I say: [write what you say].
On the screen there is: [write what people see].
Give me 3 easy ways to fix it. One cut, one picture change, one new first sentence.

1. Change your video, then show it to Claude again.
2. Keep the version with the better score. Two rounds is enough. Do not chase a perfect score.

Bonus: which start is better?

Do you have two versions of the same video, with different first seconds? Show both to Claude and send this:

Here are two versions of the same video. Only the start is different.
Use the Higgsfield Virality Predictor on both.
Make a small table: viral score, hook score, hold rate, and where people leave.
Tell me which start is better, using only what the tool said.

Post the better one first.

Good to know

• You need a paid Higgsfield plan to connect. That is what Higgsfield says on its help page.
• The predictor itself was announced as an experimental preview that does not use credits. That can change later. Things you create with Higgsfield through Claude do use credits.
• The score is a prediction made by Higgsfield. I could not find an independent test of how right it is. Always check your real numbers after you post.
• Your video goes to another company's service. Do not test videos you are not allowed to share.

If something goes wrong

• I do not see Higgsfield in my connectors. Do Step 1 again. Check that the address is exactly the same, with no extra space.
• Claude says it cannot use Higgsfield. Check that your Higgsfield plan is paid and active, then connect again.
• My video is too long. Cut the first 15 seconds and test that part.

Quick checklist

• Higgsfield shows in my Claude connectors
• I showed Claude my video
• I wrote down the viral score, hook score and hold rate
• I found the moment people leave
• I fixed one thing and tested again
