Understanding Credits
Understanding AI Credits
Synton AI uses a credit system to track AI usage. Here's how it works:
What Are Credits?
Credits are the usage currency of Synton AI. Every piece of work an agent does — a chat turn, a product rewrite, an image, a full store audit — costs credits. Each plan includes a monthly credit allowance:Every paid plan includes all 151 AI agents and every feature module, plus priority support. Enterprise adds a dedicated success manager, a custom SLA, SAML SSO, Managed Autopilot, and a security review with DPA.
How Credits Are Used
Everything is metered in credits:Two things keep your balance going further:
Monitoring Usage
Rollover
Unused credits roll over at 50% into the next month.What Happens When Credits Run Out?
Trying Synton
Signing up is free — no credit card required. Connect your store and explore every app and your data. AI actions run once you're on a plan or have topped up: every action shows its credit price before it runs, and failed actions are never billed.AI Agents
Agent Overview
AI Agents Overview
Synton AI includes 151 AI agents. 19 of them run on a nightly sweep of your store; the rest run when you or a workflow call them.
Agents analyse and propose. They do not change your store by themselves: a proposal becomes a change when you approve it, or when you ask for it in chat, and Synton then executes it and records a receipt.

API Integration
Use our API to build custom integrations with your internal tools.REST API
REST API
Read your catalogue, run agents, pull analytics and approve changes over HTTP.
The full reference lives at [/docs/api](/docs/api) — every endpoint, its parameters, its responses, and the authentication and rate-limit contract. It is generated from the API's own OpenAPI document, so it describes what the server actually serves.

``MCP Server Setup
MCP Server Setup
Use Synton AI from your IDE with Model Context Protocol.
What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) allows AI assistants to interact with external tools and services.Installation
Nothing to install: Synton runs a hosted MCP server. Point your client at it. ``bash
claude mcp add synton --transport http https://mcp.synton.ai
`With an API key from app.synton.ai/api-settings:
`bash
claude mcp add synton --transport http https://mcp.synton.ai --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
`Configuration
For a client that reads a JSON config, add the server by URL:
`json
{
"mcpServers": {
"synton": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.synton.ai",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
``Without a key, the first call starts an OAuth sign-in, and a new session is read-only until you grant more. The URL carries no path — https://mcp.synton.ai/mcp is a 404.
