Last Updated: December 17, 2024 | Effective Date: December 17, 2024

1. Introduction and Acceptance

Welcome to Mana. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you," "your," or "User") and ScottyMade, LLC ("we," "us," "our," or "Company"), governing your access to and use of Mana (the "Service"), including our website, APIs, MCP server, and any related services.

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Description of Service

2.1 What Mana Does

Mana is a token optimization service that operates as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. The Service:

  • Intercepts tool outputs (file reads, bash command results, directory listings) from AI coding assistants like Claude
  • Routes those outputs through lightweight language models via OpenRouter for filtering and optimization
  • Returns filtered results to reduce token consumption

Mana is a filtering and processing layer. Mana is NOT an AI provider and does NOT generate AI content.

2.2 What Mana Does NOT Do

  • Mana does NOT intercept or process your prompts to Claude
  • Mana does NOT intercept or process Claude's code responses to you
  • Mana does NOT store the content of tool outputs, filtered results, or any AI-generated content
  • Mana does NOT generate AI outputs—it only filters outputs generated by other AI systems
