Troubleshooting
Claude Desktop shows "connection failed"
Make sure the URL is exactly https://www.smasher.studio/mcp/mcp and you've restarted Claude Desktop after editing the config.
Tools are not showing up
Check that your config JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Try removing and re-adding the server entry, then restart.
"Insufficient credits" error
Guest mode gives 5 free credits per IP. Sign up at smasher.studio for more credits, or check your balance with the check_credits tool.
Video generation seems stuck
Video generation is async and takes 1-3 minutes. Use check_video_status with the job_id to poll for completion.
