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.inspectDocument and media evidence when Markdown is not enough. video_timeline (bounded scene/cue timeline) and render_frame (actual decoded frames), and cite_check (quote/location support, not semantic truth), are anymd Pro; PDF operations: inspect (page facts, metadata), render_page (PNG images), extract_regions (crop bounding boxes), ocr_pages / analyze_regions (configured OCR or vision provider), structure (JSON with document map, elements, geometry; profile quality|research adds trust and accessibility reports), compare (page-level diff of sources[0] vs sources[1]).outlineReturn a document heading tree with stable node ids, title paths, page/slide/chapter ranges and Markdown byte ranges. PDF bookmarks or detected headings, Word headings, PowerPoint slides, EPUB chapters and headings, HTML and Markdown. format json (default) or tree. Pass a node id to read to fetch that section.readRead any document as clean Markdown: PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), Excel (XLSX/XLS/ODS), CSV, EPUB, HTML or a web URL, Markdown/text, images (metadata + OCR), audio/video (metadata, chapters, subtitles). Pages/slides/sheets carry <!-- page N --> style markers for citation. Long documents stop at max_tokens (default 20000) and end with a cursor to continue; choose pages with pages: "1-5,8". A directory returns its readable files.searchSearch documents for text: one file, many files, whole directories (recursive, .gitignore aware), or URLs, across every format read supports. Returns each hit as file + page/slide/sheet + a snippet with the match in bold. mode auto (default) finds the exact phrase and falls back to BM25-ranked passages when there is none; literal or ranked force one. Narrow directories with glob, e.g. "*.pdf".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.
