manga.list_stylesList the 24 canonical Mangii art styles with live style ids. Call this before manga.create_story. Experimental and alias ids are excluded. Filter with group or limit when you only need one look.manga.get_creditsReturn the API wallet. Spendable is apiPackCredits plus packCredits after the account has ever purchased. Later ad/referral grants on that pack pool also spend. weeklyCredits is display-only.manga.list_panelsList panels you own for a story. Use this to get panel_id values before changing Image 1 or Image 2 on manga.continue_story or manga.regenerate_panel. Each row has ref_role: identity on the first panel, scene on the last distinct panel, otherwise null.manga.list_storiesList stories you own, newest first. Call this when you lost story_id after context compaction so you can resume with manga.continue_story. Optional limit is an integer from 1 to 50 (default 20).manga.create_storyStart a new private manga (panel 1). Required: prompt + style_id from manga.list_styles. Optional identity_image or reference_image is Image 1. Style locks. Default async=false returns image_url, story_id, panel_id. Then manga.continue_story. Costs 1/2/5 credits by quality.manga.continue_storyAdd the next panel. Do not send style_id. Defaults: Image 1 = first panel (identity), Image 2 = last distinct panel (scene). Override via manga.list_panels then identity_panel_id or identity_image and/or continuity_panel_id or continuity_image. Same credit costs as create.manga.regenerate_panelRedraw or edit one panel. Style stays locked. Same Image 1 / Image 2 ref overrides as manga.continue_story. Get ids from manga.list_panels. Costs the same credits as a new panel.manga.buy_creditsReturn the Console billing URL so a human can fund apiPackCredits. Generate-scoped keys cannot create Checkout sessions. Call this after 402 insufficient_credits.manga.get_jobPoll a generation job from manga.create_story, manga.continue_story, or manga.regenerate_panel when async=true. Repeat until status is succeeded or failed. Prefer async=false so you do not need this tool.search_docsSearch bundled Chatpack documentation and the authoritative llms reference. Returns document ids, links and matching excerpts with package versions.get_documentRead a complete bundled Chatpack document by id. Use llms for the authoritative integration contract or concepts/errors for troubleshooting.get_integration_guideRetrieve the repository's framework setup guide with authentication guidance and the authoritative llms reference. Examples match the bundled package versions.list_ui_blocksList public runtime exports of @chatpack/ui, including components, providers and utilities. Returns names accepted by get_ui_block.get_ui_blockRetrieve a public @chatpack/ui export's source module and usage guide. Optionally include supporting UI modules and stylesheet. Files are reference source, not a standalone copy-and-paste component.Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
