Seedream prices

Prepaid prices, in dollars. A range means the price depends on something only the run decides, such as output size. You are charged what the job actually cost.

Call it from your agent

Connect the hosted MCP server once, then ask in plain words. The agent calls Seedream, waits for the result and hands you the file with its cost.

claude mcp add --transport http aitachyon \
  https://aitachyon.com/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ait_your_key"

“Draft three Seedream images of the candle on a linen table.”

Or from your code

One HTTP call with a bearer key. Video returns a job to poll; images and voice return the file.

curl https://aitachyon.com/api/images/generate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ait_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"projectId":"<project id>","prompt":"<your prompt>","provider":"seedream"}'
