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 50 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.
