Bluma

Bluma is a San Francisco-based AI company (Y Combinator Fall 2025) building a short-form AI content engine that lets creators, agencies, and brands produce social media video ads at scale. The platform "de-edits" existing reference videos into their individual scenes, captions, and overlays, then uses AI asset generation and a node-based canvas editor to recreate and remix shots into new ads, UGC, and template-based videos optimized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Bluma ships a public developer program: a REST API at api.getbluma.com/api/v1 for asynchronous video generation, templates, credits, API keys, webhooks and usage analytics; Mintlify-hosted documentation at docs.getbluma.com; first-party TypeScript and Python SDKs; a seven-event HMAC-signed webhook surface; published per-tier rate limits; and an undocumented but live hosted MCP server at api.getbluma.com/api/mcp gated by Clerk OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration. Founded by Alisa Wu (formerly Zoox/Amazon) and Stephen Ni.

Bluma publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, AI, Video, Video Generation, and Advertising.

The Bluma catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Bluma’s developer surface includes signup flow, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, pricing, changelog, and 23 more developer resources.

    note: Bluma's API Reference Overview advertises a complete OpenAPI at this URL and tells readers to import it into Postman,
      Insomnia or Swagger UI. It returns 401 "No authorization token provided" to an anonymous request, so the spec could
      not be retrieved and none has been saved. Publishing it unauthenticated is the single highest-value fix available to
      this provider.

  description: Hosted Model Context Protocol server on the Bluma API host. Discovered via RFC 9728 OAuth Protected Resource
    Metadata rather than from the documentation, which never mentions it. Requires an OAuth 2.1 bearer token issued by clerk.getbluma.com;
    dynamic client registration and PKCE S256 are supported, so a compliant MCP client can bootstrap itself. An anonymous
    tools/list returns 401 with a spec-correct WWW-Authenticate resource_metadata challenge, so the live tool surface is not
    publicly readable.

  note: 'Prior rounds recorded "no public developer API". That is now wrong: docs.getbluma.com and api.getbluma.com both serve
    a live developer program, and a hosted MCP server was found on the API host root via RFC 9728 metadata. No OpenAPI was
    saved — the spec Bluma advertises at /api/v1/openapi.json is 401-gated — and no agent card exists.'
x-coverage:
  state: covered
  reason: contract-gated-but-docs-rich
  detail: Bluma's developer documentation, SDKs, webhook catalog, rate limits, plans and error reference are all public and
    were captured, and its MCP server was discovered through anonymous OAuth metadata; only the machine-readable OpenAPI it
    advertises at https://api.getbluma.com/api/v1/openapi.json is behind the API's blanket auth gate (HTTP 401), so no spec
    could be saved.
