General
What is an MCP connector?
MCP is the open standard Claude, ChatGPT and other assistants use to call outside tools. Add Typeshoot's URL once and your assistant can generate and edit media for you, in the same chat.
Which assistants does it work with?
Claude (web, desktop and Claude Code), ChatGPT with developer mode, Codex, and any client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth.
Can it edit videos I already have?
Yes. Paste a TikTok or Reel link or upload a clip, and your assistant can break it down, trim it, reframe it to 9:16, add music and word-by-word captions, or swap in a different person (with their consent).
How do credits work?
Each model has a credit price shown before anything runs. A job reserves its estimate, settles at the real cost, and is refunded in full if it fails. You start with 100 free.
Who owns what I make?
You do. Every output is copied to permanent storage under your account, with a link that does not expire.
Can I keep my brand consistent?
Yes. Save your logo, colours, fonts and tone as a brand kit, and save people or mascots as characters. Your assistant reuses them on every request.
Pricing and credits
Is there a subscription?
No. You buy credit packs when you need them ($10, $25 or $50) and credits never expire. New accounts get 100 free credits after confirming their email.
How do I know what something will cost?
Every model has a fixed credit price, listed on this page and on each model’s page. Your assistant can also ask for an estimate first, and anything over 100 credits asks before it runs.
What happens if a generation fails?
Credits are reserved when a job starts and refunded automatically if it fails on our side.
Do I pay extra for Claude or ChatGPT?
No. Typeshoot works inside the assistant you already use; you only pay Typeshoot credits for what you make.
Why are some prices marked as estimates?
A few models (GPT Image and Seedance 2.5) are billed by the provider on usage, so the final cost can differ slightly. You are charged the real cost, and the estimate is shown first.
Can I get a refund on unused credits?
Yes, within 14 days of buying a pack, for the credits from that pack you haven’t used. Free credits can’t be refunded. The refund policy has the details.
Connecting
Do I need an API key?
No. Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Cursor sign in with OAuth: you paste the URL, click Connect and approve on the Typeshoot page. API keys are optional, for scripts and headless setups.
Which Claude plans support custom connectors?
Custom connectors are available on Claude plans that support them in the desktop and web apps. Look for Settings › Connectors in your account.
Why can’t Claude or ChatGPT reach my connector?
They connect from their own servers, so they need the public URL (https://typeshoot.com/mcp), not a localhost address. Claude Code and Cursor run on your computer and can use either.
How do I disconnect?
Remove the connector in your assistant’s settings, or disconnect the app from your Typeshoot dashboard. Either one stops access straight away.
Does it spend credits without asking?
Anything over 100 credits asks before it runs, and nothing is regenerated without your yes.
