FAQ

Do I need Node.js?

How much does it cost?

Same as API pricing: $1.96 per video, $0.18 per image, $0.68 per music track. Credits are deducted from your VAP balance.

Can I use it with Claude Pro?

Yes. MCP works with both free and Pro Claude Desktop accounts. Your Claude subscription is separate from VAP credits.
