The Problem

Manus AI charges credits per task. Most users waste 30-75% of their credits because:

• Simple tasks run in Max mode when Standard would produce identical results
• Prompts contain redundant context that inflates token usage
• Tasks that could be batched are executed one by one
• Output formats are not optimized for the task type

Credit Optimizer fixes all of this automatically.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "credit-optimizer": {
      "command": "python",
