One tool, one response shape

The server exposes only parse_media_url. It detects the platform from the URL and preserves every media candidate returned by the existing EasyDown parser.

Input

parse_media_url({
  "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=..."
})

Structured output

{
  "status": 200,
  "data": { "images": [], "videos": [], "audios": [] },
  "billing": { "creditsCharged": 3, "creditsRemaining": 97 }
}

Credit charges

Most platforms cost 1 credit per downloadable result or confirmed processing cost caused by a clear content restriction. YouTube costs 3 credits, Threads and Kuaishou cost 2, and Xiaohongshu / RedNote costs 10. Unsupported URLs, authentication errors, temporary failures, and unconfirmed empty results are free.

Public single-post media

The MCP server is designed for supported public single posts. Profiles, search pages, feeds, collections, private content, deleted content, and unsupported live pages remain outside the product scope.
