Contentdrips API and MCP vs Creatomate

Contentdrips API and MCP 15

The newest dated change to the agent surface is the MCP page, published 25 May 2026 and modified 27 May, 163 days before this check (10). No three dated changes since 8 August were found (0). No public changelog. Email support at hello@contentdrips.com, which we didn't test (5 of 15). Not in the official MCP registry and no official SDKs (0). No public package or repository (0). 10 + 0 + 5 + 0 + 0 = 15.

Creatomate 54

No changelog. Dated releases since 6 August are the n8n node 0.2.0 (11 August, per the 8 October npm reading), the rebuilt n8n node v1.0.0 (11 September) and v1.0.1 (19 September, a category metadata fix, half), and @creatomate/preview 1.6.1 (3 September, removing a dependency and type definitions from the build, half). The newest release that changes code is n8n v1.0.0, 54 days before the check (20). Three counted entries in 90 days (20, cause evidence; it drops to 0 after 9 November when 0.2.0 leaves the window). Support by email, no public changelog or forum found, and two open GitHub issues across the libraries per the 8 October check (5). The Node library was last tagged 1.2.1 on 23 September 2024 and calls /v1, the PHP library was last pushed on 21 October 2024, and the Preview SDK is current (7). No CI in the Node repository (2). 20+20+5+7+2 = 54.

Contentdrips API and MCP 23

Hosted lines. No status page found on the site, the developer docs or the footers (0). No readable incident history (5). No rate limit is given in numbers, only monthly call allowances by plan (6,000 on Pro, 25,000 on Ultimate), which earn a little (5 of 15). The troubleshooting note says to check /queue/stats and retry after a short delay when rate limited, with no status code or Retry-After. Render jobs are asynchronous, so polling is safe (3 of 15). No SLA found (0). The MCP server is v1.0.0 and the render API is not labelled beta (10). 0 + 5 + 5 + 3 + 0 + 10 = 23.

Creatomate 40

Hosted lines. No status page found. status.creatomate.com still has no DNS record and no page we read links to one (0). No readable incident history (5). 30 requests per 10 seconds per account, documented in the API reference for agents (15). The same page documents X-RateLimit-* headers on every response and Retry-After on 429 with "wait that long, do not retry immediately", but no idempotency key for renders, which are writes (10). The 8 October first-hand header reading came from a request to the product's API and is struck; the docs carry the same facts. No SLA found (0). The REST API and MCP server carry no beta label (10). 0+5+15+10+0+10 = 40.

Contentdrips API and MCP 31

API keys from the dashboard, with no scopes, expiry or rotation documented. The MCP server also runs OAuth 2.0 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, but its one mcp scope authorises the same full key (18 of 30). No read-only key or endpoint. publish_post needs confirmed: true and the docs ask for confirmation before deletes (10 of 20). Tools read blog, YouTube and TikTok links and download external images, and no prompt-injection guidance was found (3 of 15). No audit log or per-call record documented (0). No security.txt, disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification found (0). 18 + 10 + 3 + 0 + 0 = 31.

Creatomate 48

MCP uses OAuth authorisation code with PKCE S256 and dynamic client registration, one scope, with connections revocable per application. REST uses one unscoped key per project, and key rotation is not documented (22). Each MCP connection reaches one project and a project can have a monthly credit budget, but there is no read-only mode and no server-side confirmation before a render or delete (8). Returns the account's own templates and renders (10). Account Settings lists MCP connections with last use, and the dashboard has an API log of renders (8). No security.txt, disclosure policy, bounty or certification found (0). No security.txt (404 on 4 November). 22+8+10+8+0 = 48.

Contentdrips API and MCP 54

29 MCP tools (15 for 11 to 30), with no toolsets or read-only subset (15 of 25). list_posts filters by status and get_my_templates by type and workspace, and no pagination is documented (8 of 20). Errors carry error and message, and the troubleshooting section explains template-not-found and label mismatches (12 of 20). Access labels in the docs, confirmed: true on publish_post, and job polling that is safe to repeat, but no idempotency key on renders or post creation, and the labels couldn't be confirmed as MCP annotations (12 of 20). Two required fields to render (template_id, output), and no SDK beyond an Embed SDK for the editor (7 of 15). 15 + 8 + 12 + 12 + 7 = 54.

Creatomate 67

Eight MCP tools on the vendor's list, re-read on 4 November, definitions unseen, and the template list omits sources (22). A tags filter on the template list, with no pagination, limit or render list found (6). The API reference documents a hint and a documentation URL on 400, 401, 404 and 429, a hint on 402 and 500, plus advisory errors and warnings and a free dry_run (20). No idempotency key. dry_run and status polling are safe, and template delete is now described as a soft delete that an open editor can restore; MCP annotations were not readable (8). template_id alone starts a render, and the Node and PHP libraries are official but last published in 2024 (11). 22+6+20+8+11 = 67.

Contentdrips API and MCP 25

No x402, MPP or L402 (0). No per-call price. The API page shows $0 on paid cards, a $39 starting price and $359 a month for unlimited calls, and the pricing page shows $15 and $26 plans without API, so the public pricing can't be relied on (5 of 20). The API page says 10 API calls to test with and no card for the free plan (20). A person signs up and generates the key in the dashboard (0). 0 + 5 + 20 + 0 = 25.

Creatomate 35

No x402, MPP or L402 (0). The pricing page now shows its plan prices in the page (Essential $540 a year for 2,000 credits a month, Growth from $1,290 a year for 10,000, Beyond from $3,290 a year for 50,000), the docs give $54 and $129 for the monthly Essential and Growth 10K, and the credit formula per image and per video is public. Credits come only inside monthly plans, with no per-credit price or top-up, so this sits between plan-only and per-unit pricing, as bannerbear, placid and templated are read (15, the earlier partial kept, see open questions). A free plan with 50 credits, no card and no time limit (20). A person signs up in a browser and copies a key or signs in through OAuth (0). 0+15+20+0 = 35.

Contentdrips API and MCP 60

Closed service under terms of use dated 11 December 2024, governed by the laws of Pakistan (15). The privacy policy of 9 August 2026 states retention while the account is active, deletion of content as soon as the account is deleted apart from short-lived backups, deletion of social tokens on disconnect, and no training of Contentdrips' own models on user content (22 of 30). No deprecation policy. The legacy carousel input is 'still supported' with no end date (3 of 20). The policy names OpenAI, OpenRouter, Google Gemini and TinyPopups and has an international transfers section, without a full subprocessor list or hosting locations (12 of 20). 15 + 22 + 3 + 12 = 52.

Creatomate 52

Closed service under published terms, with MIT client libraries (15). Render retention of 30 days is stated the same way in the docs, pricing page and llms.txt. The privacy policy is dated 27 June 2022 with no retention period for personal data, no DPA was found, and the terms let Creatomate make user Content available to other users (12). No deprecation policy, and /v1 and /v2 are documented side by side with no dates (2). The privacy policy names Paddle, AWS, DigitalOcean, Google Analytics, Cloudflare and GitLab, with no data locations (8). Terms and privacy policy re-read on 4 November, both still dated 27 June 2022. 15+12+2+8 = 37.
