CLI, MCP, or API: picking a Versely surface
Three developer doors into the same catalog, decided by one question: who initiates the request and who is waiting for the result. With a decision table.

Most failed MCP connections are authorization problems with a short list of causes. Work this checklist before reinstalling anything.
A hosted remote MCP server removes local installs and secrets in config files. Here is the operational trade-off against a local stdio shim.
Browser-approval login cannot run on a build runner. Set up a scoped key, inject it as a secret, and keep the job fully non-interactive.
Skills load instructions; MCP tools expose callables. Leave knowing which layer to reach for, and why a working setup almost always has both.
Each of the eight installed skills covers a different pipeline shape. Leave knowing which one an agent will reach for, and how to phrase the request.
Install the CLI, mint a key, dispatch an image and a video job over HTTP, poll status, and pull the finished file down without opening the web app.
One CLI command detects the coding agents on your machine and writes the Versely MCP server into each of them, with the key already attached.
What Versely's skill packs are, how one CLI command installs them and wires MCP into Claude Code, and which parts of the job still belong in the editor.
