Before you call either

HyperFrames

  1. Use the local CLI when project access and repeatable rendering matter.
  2. Preview the composition and check assets before rendering.
  3. Confirm account eligibility and credit cost before using the hosted beta.

Popcraft MCP

  1. Preview credit cost and obtain approval before submitting paid generation.
  2. Discover the current tool list instead of assuming the advertised count.
  3. Poll the existing job rather than resubmitting a generation after a timeout.
