Frequently asked questions

Yes — exactly the same balance. Every image or video generated from Claude, Cursor or any MCP client consumes credits from your Aura AI account, just like generating from the web app.
The tool returns a clear error to your AI agent (e.g. "Insufficient image tokens") together with a link to top up your balance. If you have an active plan, the link goes to the credit top-up popup; if you're on Free, it goes to plan selection — both at auraai.app/animate.
No. Tokens are deducted only when generation completes successfully. If a model errors out or times out, no credits are consumed.
All 25+ image and video models available in the web app: Veo 3, Sora 2, Kling, FLUX, Imagen, Wan 2.7, Seedream, Ideogram, and more. Credit cost varies per model — your AI agent can call the list_capabilities tool to retrieve the live catalog with costs, supported aspect ratios, durations and resolutions.
Yes. Each agent registers as its own MCP client and goes through the OAuth flow once, but they all draw from the same Aura AI token pool. Generate from any of them — your balance updates in one place.
No — MCP works with any Aura AI account, including Free, as long as you have available tokens. Note that some advanced models (e.g. Veo 3, Sora 2, Kling O3 Pro) require a Starter plan or higher, just like in the web app. Claude Desktop itself requires a paid Claude plan (Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise) to use Custom Connectors — that's an Anthropic restriction, not Aura's.
In Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors, click the Aura connector, then Disconnect or Remove. In Cursor: Settings → Tools & MCP, remove the server. The token expires automatically after 30 days; rotating your account password (via Firebase Auth) terminates active sessions immediately.
Yes. Aura AI MCP uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE (S256) — the modern standard for connecting third-party agents. We never store passwords; you sign in with the same Firebase Auth (Google or email magic link) you already use on auraai.app. Tokens are scoped, time-limited, and never leave your client.
Aura AI sends images inline (base64) per the MCP spec, so most clients render them directly in chat. If your client only shows the URL, make sure it's updated to the latest version — older versions of Claude Desktop and Cursor sometimes only show a link instead of the image.
