# Mediamonster

> Clips, captions, thumbnails and every crop your platforms ask for. Free tools, and AI skills priced per run in credits.

- [Mediamonster docs](https://docs.mediamonster.app/index.md): Free image and video tools in the browser, and AI skills priced per run in credits. Same pipeline on the Workbench, REST, and MCP.
- [Quickstart](https://docs.mediamonster.app/getting-started/quickstart.md): Convert an image with no account, then sign in and run your first Workbench line.
- [Key concepts](https://docs.mediamonster.app/getting-started/concepts.md): Lines, skills, recipes, credits, the Vault, and galleries — the words the product actually uses.
- [Credits and plans](https://docs.mediamonster.app/getting-started/credits-and-plans.md): Cyclops, Minotaur, Kraken, and Behemoth — prices, credits, Vault, API access, and when a run is charged.
- [Workbench](https://docs.mediamonster.app/workbench.md): Drop a file, add a line of steps, press Run. How batching, sets, and credits work on the bench.
- [Recipes](https://docs.mediamonster.app/recipes.md): A recipe is a named line of existing skills. Open one on the Workbench — nothing runs until you press Run.
- [Vault](https://docs.mediamonster.app/vault.md): Stored uploads and Workbench results. Cyclops keeps files 30 days. Paid plans keep them until you delete them.
- [Galleries](https://docs.mediamonster.app/galleries.md): Client deliveries built from Vault files. Draft, live, or closed — with a public review link on mediamonster.link.
- [Queue](https://docs.mediamonster.app/queue.md): Every run — running first, then history. The last 100. Open a row to put it back on the Workbench.
- [Skills](https://docs.mediamonster.app/skills/overview.md): The live catalogue — generators, free tools, and credit-priced skills. One source of prices for the site, the API, and MCP.
- [Free tools](https://docs.mediamonster.app/skills/free-tools.md): Zero-credit skills and browser convert. Cyclops gets 25 free-tool runs a day.
- [Generators](https://docs.mediamonster.app/skills/generators.md): Make an image, a clip, a voice, or music from a prompt. Each model is its own price.
- [Formats](https://docs.mediamonster.app/formats.md): What you can drop in, and what convert will write. Unknown output formats are refused, not substituted.
- [API overview](https://docs.mediamonster.app/api/overview.md): The same pipeline the Workbench runs, from a script. Conversion is free of credits. Skills charge. Paid plans only.
- [Authentication](https://docs.mediamonster.app/api/authentication.md): Mint a key on a paid plan. Send it as a bearer token. Keys start mm_live_ and are shown once.
- [Convert a file](https://docs.mediamonster.app/api/convert.md): Convert or resize one file. Free of credits. Send bytes, a URL, or a previous job id.
- [Run a skill](https://docs.mediamonster.app/api/run-skill.md): Run one skill by slug. Options come from GET /api/v1/skills. Credits are charged first.
- [Run a line](https://docs.mediamonster.app/api/runs.md): Run a saved recipe or an inline line of steps. Same placement rules as the Workbench. Each skill is charged as it starts.
- [Assets and galleries](https://docs.mediamonster.app/api/assets-and-galleries.md): List the Vault, store a finished job, and create a client gallery from the API.
- [Errors](https://docs.mediamonster.app/api/errors.md): Every failure is JSON with a stable code and a message written for a human reading a log.
- [MCP](https://docs.mediamonster.app/mcp.md): Point an MCP client at Mediamonster. Seven tools. Agents hold links, not files.
- [Settings](https://docs.mediamonster.app/account/settings.md): Profile, email, password, Workbench auto-save, notifications, and the danger zone.
- [Billing](https://docs.mediamonster.app/account/billing.md): Upgrade, cancel at period end, top up credits, and add Vault storage.
- [Limits](https://docs.mediamonster.app/help/limits.md): File size, batch size, source length, steps per run, prompts, and poll ceilings.
- [Support](https://docs.mediamonster.app/help/support.md): Email support@mediamonster.app or join Discord. Priority support on paid plans.
