Agent-readable install guide

Connect LlamaGen to Claude Code

This page describes the capability that exists now: a hosted Comic MCP protected by a LlamaGen API token. It does not claim that a public marketplace plugin or OAuth installation has shipped.

Create API token
Required preflight

Check access and credits before creating.

Follow this order every time. The agent should not spend credits or begin a comic run until the account passes the balance check.

  1. 01

    Create and copy an API token

    Open LlamaGen Settings → API, click Create Key, then use the copy button beside the new key. Keep the token private.

    Open API settings
  2. 02

    Connect the hosted MCP

    Use https://llamagen.ai/api/mcp with Streamable HTTP and the Authorization header: Bearer <API_TOKEN>.

  3. 03

    Check the credit balance first

    The agent must call get_comic_api_usage. If remaining API credits are below 5,000, it must stop before reading the creation docs or generating.

  4. 04

    Upgrade or add credits when needed

    If the balance is below 5,000, upgrade the Comic API plan or buy a one-time API credit pack.

  5. 05

    Read the creation docs, then plan

    When at least 5,000 credits remain, read the current Comic API documentation, propose the comic plan, and wait for approval before generation.

    Read Comic API docs

Use the live tool name: get_comic_api_usage

Older screenshots may showget_api_usage. The current MCP manifest exposesget_comic_api_usage, so the agent must call that exact tool.

Setup

Four steps. One honest connection.

  1. 01

    Create an API token

    Create or rotate a token in LlamaGen Settings → API. Keep it in your shell environment; do not paste the secret into a chat or repository.

  2. 02

    Add the remote MCP

    Run the command below in a terminal. It registers the hosted Streamable HTTP MCP for your user scope.

  3. 03

    Verify the connection

    Run `claude mcp get llamagen`, start a new Claude Code session if needed, then use `/mcp` to confirm the server and tools.

  4. 04

    Paste the production prompt

    Give Claude access only to the scripts and references in scope, then approve the proposed batch before generation.

1 · Set the token

Keep the real value out of chat history and source control

export LLAMAGEN_API_TOKEN='replace-with-your-token'

2 · Register LlamaGen

Claude Code remote HTTP MCP

claude mcp add --scope user --transport http llamagen https://llamagen.ai/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer ${LLAMAGEN_API_TOKEN}"

3 · Verify

Confirm the connection before starting a batch

claude mcp get llamagen
# In Claude Code: /mcp
Verification

The four tools the agent should see.

The public MCP manifest and server card are the source of truth. If this list differs in the host, stop and reconnect before generating.

search_llamagen_docs

Search the integration and Comic API documentation.

get_comic_api_usage

Check the plan and remaining API credits before reading the creation docs or generating.

create_comic_generation

Start a comic, manga, webtoon, or storyboard generation.

get_comic_generation_status

Read task state, generated panels, assets, and errors.

Production rules

Keep control where it belongs.

Approve before generation

Ask for a page or batch plan first. Creation consumes LlamaGen API credits.

Keep usage separate

Claude Code usage pays for reasoning; LlamaGen credits pay for comic generation.

Refine in the editor

Use the host to control the workflow and LlamaGen to perfect layout, bubbles, assets, and delivery.

Working prompt

Read https://llamagen.ai/claude and use the connected LlamaGen MCP.

Required preflight:
1. Ask me to open https://llamagen.ai/settings?tab=api, click Create Key, copy the API token, and store it as LLAMAGEN_API_TOKEN without pasting it into chat or committing it.
2. Connect https://llamagen.ai/api/mcp with Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>, then list the four expected LlamaGen tools.
3. Call get_comic_api_usage before reading the creation docs or generating. Report LlamaGen API credits separately from Claude usage.
4. If remaining API credits are below 5,000, stop and send me to https://llamagen.ai/comic-api/pricing to upgrade my plan or buy an API credit pack.
5. When the balance is at least 5,000 credits, read https://llamagen.ai/comic-api/docs to learn the current comic-creation flow.
6. Read only the scripts, references, or production notes I place in scope.
7. Propose a page, scene, or batch plan and wait for approval.
8. Use create_comic_generation only after approval, then poll get_comic_generation_status.
9. Return generation IDs and assets, and explain which visual refinements belong in the LlamaGen editor.
