Credit Optimizer v5 for Manus AI — Claude Code MCP server
Routes Manus AI prompts between Standard, Max, and free Chat modes to cut credit waste by 30–75% without degrading output quality.
claude mcp add credit-optimizer -- uvx mcp-credit-optimizerWhat Credit Optimizer v5 for Manus AI does
The MCP server parses prompts before execution and determines intent across 12 distinct categories. Simple questions get redirected to Chat Mode at zero cost. Routine tasks drop to Standard instead of burning credits on the heavy Max tier.
A strict Quality Veto rule cancels adjustments whenever a prompt might lose precision. Routine work stays on Standard. In addition, the server compresses context between iterative steps and clusters related commands to prevent token counts from growing exponentially.
The standalone MCP distribution only includes model routing logic. It excludes the fast browser toolkit bundled with the commercial Manus Skill. The editor also requires explicit tool calls, while the paid skill runs in the background automatically.
What it helps with
- route tasks to Standard when Max tier is unnecessary
- redirect simple queries to zero-cost Chat Mode
- compress conversation context between agent iterations
- batch related actions to minimize execution overhead
Example prompts for the agent
- Route this prompt through Credit Optimizer before sending it to Manus AI
- Check if this code generation task requires Max mode or Standard
- Compress the current task context to minimize credit usage
