Createya MCP skill

Createya is an AI-platform that aggregates 20+ image and video generation model families under a single API key + single MCP endpoint. Direct access without VPN, billing in rubles. Free credits on signup.

Currently supported via MCP/REST: image and video. Audio and text models are on the roadmap.

When to trigger this skill

• User says "сгенерируй / создай / сгенерь картинку или видео через Createya"
• User wants AI image/video without VPN, with ruble billing
• User mentions createya.ai, crya_sk_, or https://api.createya.ai/mcp
• User asks for a specific model family that's on Createya's roster (see live catalog below — never guess slugs)

How to use — golden rule

Always call `createya:list_models` first. Do not assume slugs from memory or from this file. The live catalog reflects what's actually available right now (new models added daily, some removed, prices change). This file's examples are illustrative only — agents that hardcode slugs from memory get 404 model_not_found.

1. Check connection

If createya:list_models tool is available — proceed. If not, point user to setup:

# One-line install (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, opencode all supported)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Createya-ai/createya-mcp/main/install.sh \
  | bash -s -- crya_sk_YOUR_KEY

Get the key at createya.ai/settings/api-keys (free credits on signup).

2. List families and pick one

createya:list_models()

Returns a data: [...] array of families, each with:

{
  "id": "nano-banana-pro",          // ← pass this to run_model
  "object": "model_family",
  "name": "Nano Banana",            // brand
  "version": "Pro",                 // variant
  "output_type": "image",           // image | video | audio | text
  "status": "public" | "test",
  "credits_range": { "min": 18, "max": 152 },
  "endpoints": [
    {
      "id": "nano-banana-pro-t2i",
      "mode": "text-to-image",
      "credits_per_request": 18,    // typical (at defaults)
      "credits_min": 36,
      "credits_max": 152,
      "pricing": {
        "axes": [...],
        "human_description": "resolution: 1K=18кр, 2K=18кр, 4K=36кр; × num_images (1–4)"
      },
      "parameters_schema": [...],
      "media_inputs": [...]
    }
  ]
}

Read `credits_range` to estimate cost before running. credits_per_request is the cost at schema defaults, credits_min / credits_max are the actual range across all axis combinations.

*Read `parameters_schema[].constraints`** for typed cross-axis rules (e.g. "при 4K только 16:9/9:16/4:3/3:4 — не 1:1"). Don't violate them — server will reject or downgrade.

3. Run a model with family slug

createya:run_model({
  model: "nano-banana-pro",   // family slug — server picks endpoint by input
  input: {
    prompt: "кот на луне в стиле Studio Ghibli",
    aspect_ratio: "16:9"
  }
})

Family routing — when you pass family slug, server scores endpoints by input shape:

If you want a specific endpoint, pass its full slug (e.g. nano-banana-pro-i2i) — it bypasses scoring.

4. Check balance with get_balance

createya:get_balance() → { object: "balance", credits_balance: 21134 }

Warn the user before expensive runs (credits_max close to balance). Link to createya.ai for top-up.

5. Always show the result URL

After run_model completes (sync) or get_run_status returns completed:

• Output at output.urls[0] (or output.url for single-output models)
• URL is a public CDN link — embed as markdown image/video preview if possible

Categories — what families to pick by use case

Don't hardcode slugs from this list — always consult list_models for current names. Use these categories to filter:

Always verify exact family slug via list_models — the catalog evolves.

Pricing transparency

Createya's API returns credits_per_request (typical), credits_min, credits_max per endpoint, plus pricing.axes with per-option breakdown. Use these:

• Quick check: credits_per_request tells you the cost at defaults
• Budget worry: credits_max is the worst case (high quality + max size + max num_images)
• Cheap option: credits_min is the cheapest combo — tell user "set quality=low and size=square_hd for ~X credits"
• Detailed picker: pricing.human_description reads like "resolution: 1K=4кр, 2K=7кр, 4K=11кр; × num_images" — surface this when user asks "сколько стоит?"

Common issues

Important conventions agent should know

• Family slug (e.g. nano-banana-pro) ≠ endpoint slug (e.g. nano-banana-pro-i2i). Family slug works in run_model and gets auto-routed. Endpoint slug works too — explicit.
• Media URLs only — base64 inline media not accepted in MCP. If user has a local file, use createya:request_upload_url for presigned PUT, or REST POST /v1/uploads (multipart). Then pass the returned CDN URL as image_url / video_url.
• Hidden params — params with isHidden: true are filtered out of MCP response. Don't try to pass them.
• Constraints — read parameters_schema[*].constraints (cross-axis rules). E.g. "For 4K, aspect_ratio must be in [16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4]" — violating these triggers fallback or rejection.
• Don't mention upstream providers — Createya intentionally hides which API provider routes each model. Users care about the model name (Nano Banana, GPT Image 2), not the proxy. The API response itself contains no provider mentions; agent should follow suit.
