Use before expensive VidSeeds MCP workflows - seeds, daily MCP call quotas, async jobId polling, when to call vidseeds_get_seed_balance, and avoiding retry loops on MCP_QUOTA_EXCEEDED or insufficient seeds.

Tokens, turns and time describe resource use, not a dollar price.
One of 10 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
Does the Sprout plan daily quota of 1,000 MCP calls reset completely at midnight UTC every night?

New to this server, or unsure which tool does the job? Call vidseeds_guide - it returns the capability map, the recommended tool chain for a stated goal, and what VidSeeds does not do. It is free and quota-exempt, so it never costs seeds or a call-bucket token. The server's initialize instructions and the vidseeds://guide resource carry the same orientation; workflow prompts (e.g. optimize-youtube-video, make-thumbnail) hand you the ready-made tool chain. Reach for these before concluding a capability is missing. Parameter-level field docs are intentionally omitted from tools/list JSON schemas to save context - use vidseeds_guide (with a goal) or read vidseeds://guide when you need argument semantics beyond types/enums.
tools/list description; when it is not there, call vidseeds_guide with the tool name for the confirmed cost. Confirm with the user before charge-bearing calls. (2026-06: use fields: ["description","tags"] on regenerate for light/correct-price partials; thumbnail edits cost more than generation when using input reference image.)| Plan | Refill / day | Bucket cap |
