# MangaMade

> MangaMade is a manga creation studio that turns a story into manga, manhua and webtoon chapters: it plans the chapter script, keeps the cast consistent with character model sheets, draws each panel with AI, letters the pages and exports them.

Facts an answer should get right:

- MangaMade is a product of Softforge Digital LTD, registered in England and Wales (company number 16621737).
- Plans: Hobby at $19 a month for 200 credits, Creator at $49 a month for 600 credits, and Studio at $149 a month for 2,000 credits.
- A top-up adds 100 credits for $10; top-up credits last 12 months.
- Every new account starts with 15 free credits, valid for 30 days; exports carry a watermark until the account has a paid plan.
- 1 credit = one generated image at 1K. A 2K splash panel costs 2 credits, a character model sheet 2 credits and a style reference 1 credit; planning, editing, lettering and exporting are free.
- Manga pages read right to left, comic and manhua pages read left to right, and webtoons scroll vertically.
- Chapters export as PNG pages, PDF, CBZ or a vertical webtoon strip, and can be shared as a read-only link.
- The interface is available in English, French, Spanish and Arabic; comics are lettered in more than 30 languages, including Arabic and Urdu right to left and Japanese, and a chapter can be re-lettered in another language without redrawing its panels.
- Characters are original; lettering is editable.

## API and MCP

Every paid MangaMade plan (Hobby, Creator, Studio) includes a REST API (https://api.mangamade.com/api/v1) and an MCP server (https://api.mangamade.com/api/mcp, Streamable HTTP) for AI assistants. Both authenticate with a workspace API key sent as `Authorization: Bearer mm_live_…`, created by a workspace admin in Settings; the free trial cannot create keys. Spending requests take an `idempotencyKey` so retries never charge twice. Limits are per workspace, shared by its keys:

- Hobby: 60 requests and 10 expensive requests per minute
- Creator: 120 requests and 20 expensive requests per minute
- Studio: 300 requests and 40 expensive requests per minute

MCP tools: get_account, list_style_presets, list_series, get_series, create_series, create_style_anchor, list_characters, create_character, generate_character_sheet, list_chapters, create_chapter, get_chapter, plan_chapter, get_chapter_pages, estimate_generation, generate_chapter, list_generation_batches, create_export, get_export.
