# TurboMax AI

> Pay-per-use AI video, image and music generation. Prepaid credits, no Monthly subscription,
> no monthly fee. Users buy credits from $5 ($1 = 200 credits) and spend them only
> when they generate. Failed, cancelled and timed-out generations are refunded
> automatically. Unused credits do not expire while the account is open.

TurboMax AI is a single interface over several third-party AI model families,
including Google Veo 3.1 (video with native audio), ByteDance Seedance 2.5 (up to
30-second clips), Kling 3.0 (up to 4K), Gemini Omni, Wan 2.6 and PixVerse V6
(image-to-video), FLUX.1 Kontext and GPT-4o (images), and Suno v5 (music).
Each model publishes its own resolutions, duration limits and credit rate, shown
before a generation starts.

## Key facts

- **Pricing model**: prepaid credits, pay-per-use. No Monthly subscription, no auto-renewal.
- **Minimum top-up**: $5. $1 = 200 credits.
- **Billing**: charged the credits a generation actually consumed, not a flat rate.
  If the upfront estimate was higher, the difference is returned automatically.
- **Failures**: a generation that fails, times out, or is cancelled is refunded in full.
- **Credit expiry**: none, while the account is open.
- **Refunds**: unused credits refundable to the original payment method within 14 days.
- **Output ownership**: the user owns their outputs. Prompts and outputs are not
  used to train models.
- **Content policy**: prompts are screened. Sexual content involving minors,
  non-consensual intimate imagery, forged documents and violent-extremist content
  are refused before any credits are spent.

## MCP server for AI agents and developer tools

TurboMax runs a public Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so an AI agent or
assistant (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, custom agents) can generate video, images and
music, chat with text models and read a prepaid wallet.

- **Endpoint**: https://turbomaxai.com/mcp — Streamable HTTP, JSON-RPC 2.0, POST only, stateless.
- **Server card (machine-readable)**: https://turbomaxai.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json
- **Try it with no key**: the discovery tools (list_models, get_model,
  estimate_cost, list_chat_models, browse_gallery) work anonymously.
- **Auth**: "Authorization: Bearer tmx_..." personal API key, created in the app
  under MCP (https://turbomaxai.com/developers). Read-only keys are free; a key that can
  generate spends credits and requires an account with a paid top-up.
- **Safety**: generate_media takes maxCredits — if the cost would exceed it the
  server refuses before charging. Keys cannot change account, billing or settings.
- **Tools**: list_models, get_model, estimate_cost, generate_media, get_task,
  cancel_task, retry_task, upload_source_media, list_chat_models, chat,
  get_wallet, list_generations, browse_gallery.
