# Magic Hour body swap
Accept “put me in this scene.” Identify the person reference and destination image, choose settings within the existing budget, inspect the result and deliver the image. Do not swap source and destination or reinterpret a face-only request as replacing the whole person.
## Prepare compatible inputs
Use `body_swap_create_image` when an entire person belongs in a supplied scene. Use photo Face Swap when the existing body/outfit must remain, AI Image Editor for a directed background or wardrobe change, and Character Replace when preserving a video performance is the actual job.
Inspect both images before generating: intended person, visible body extent, pose, camera height, lighting and destination scale. A headshot cannot specify unseen clothing or legs. Prefer a reference showing the body the scene needs; if a new view is necessary, create/edit it deliberately within budget and identify invented details. Preserve actual identity and clothing choices rather than adding unsolicited body or beauty changes.
Determine whether the scene contains one obvious replacement subject or needs a new placement. The endpoint has person and scene inputs but no point selector, mask or placement prompt. For multiple people or a precise empty-space location, use a tool that exposes suitable control, or first prepare an unambiguous scene. Do not guess which bystander the endpoint will replace.
## Generate and inspect the contact
Use the creation MCP at `https://mcp.magichour.ai/`; [setup](https://github.com/magichourhq/magic-hour-mcp/blob/main/user.md). Pass `assets.person_file_path` for the identity/body reference, `assets.scene_file_path` for the destination and a supported `resolution`. API users should read `/v1/body-swap` in the [live schema](https://docs.magichour.ai/api-reference/openapi.json). It does not accept a general prompt, strength, mask, seed or model field; do not invent them.
