Tools as reported by the server

• create_payment
  Create a Lightning invoice to pay for one AI service call. Returns JSON: { paymentId, invoice (BOLT11), amount (sats), expiresAt }. Each payment covers exactly one tool call — call this once per operation. Typical flow: list_models → create_payment → check_payment_status → call tool. The invoice exp
• create_cart
  Pay for 2 to 10 calls with ONE Lightning invoice, up to 2,000 sats in all. Each item is { toolName, ...the same inputs create_payment takes for that tool }. The server checks and prices EVERY item first: one bad item refuses the whole cart, with no invoice, and the error names the item by its index.
• check_payment_status
  Check whether a Lightning invoice has been paid. Returns JSON: { paid, serviceUsed, refundAllowed, readyToUse, next, state } — readyToUse=true means paid, not yet consumed, and no refund queued; next says what to do. state is unpaid, paid, delivered, held, refund-open, claimed or expired. held (with
• generate_image
  Generate an image from a text prompt. Returns JSON with image URL. Models: Grok Imagine 2 (fast creative generation, 100 sats), Seedream 5 Pro (most permissive content policy, 150 sats at 1K / 300 at 2K), GPT Image 2.5 (ranked #1 on the Artificial Analysis text-to-image leaderboard as of September 2

  Generate cinematic video from a text prompt. Uses MiniMax H3 — top 2 on the Artificial Analysis text-to-video leaderboard — with native audio. Async — returns requestId, poll with check_job_status. 768p or 2K (2K is upscaled from a 768p render), 5-15 seconds, priced per second by resolution (native
• animate_image
  Animate a still image into cinematic video with MiniMax H3 — provide a first frame and a prompt to direct the motion. Native audio. Async — returns requestId, poll with check_job_status. 768p or 2K (2K is upscaled from a 768p render), duration 5-15 seconds, priced per second by resolution. Pay per r
• check_job_status
  Poll the status of an async job. Use this after calling any async tool (generate_video, animate_image, generate_3d_model, transcribe_audio, epub_to_audiobook, ai_call) that returns a requestId. Returns JSON: { status: 'IN_PROGRESS' | 'COMPLETED' | 'FAILED', requestId, jobType }. For epub-audiobook,
• get_job_result
  Retrieve the final output of a completed async job. Call ONLY after check_job_status returns status='COMPLETED' — calling on a job that has not completed returns an error. Returns JSON whose shape depends on jobType: video/video-image → { videoUrl, duration }; image-3d → { modelUrl } (GLB format); t
• await_result
  Wait for an async job to finish and return its result in ONE call — no manual polling loop. Pass the requestId + jobType from an async tool (generate_video, animate_image, generate_3d_model, transcribe_audio, epub_to_audiobook, ai_call). If your MCP client opened the request with 'Accept: text/event

Deterministic layout, no AI model: the text you send is exactly what appears, which no image generator can promise. Built for video title cards and slides, t

• vote_on_service
  Vote for a planned service to be built next. Returns JSON: { success, slug, newVoteCount }. 1 sat per vote — multiple votes allowed. Call list_planned_services first to discover valid slugs and current vote counts. Highest-voted services get prioritized. Requires create_payment with toolName='vote_o
• list_planned_services
  List all planned services with current vote counts. Returns JSON array: [{ slug, name, description, votes }], sorted by votes descending. No payment required — this is a free discovery tool.
