ChainGPT Claude Skill FAQ: Claude Code version, MCP server, and rate limits

Common questions about the ChainGPT Claude Skill plugin (the ChainGPT Developer Kit for Claude Code).

Which version of Claude Code do I need?

The latest version of Claude Code is recommended. The plugin uses standard Claude Code plugin conventions and the MCP protocol, so any recent version should work.

Can I use it without the MCP server?

Yes. The skills work standalone for code generation without the MCP server. Claude Code reads the SKILL.md and reference docs to generate integration code, templates, and configurations. The MCP server is what enables live ChainGPT API calls from within Claude Code.

How many tools does the MCP server provide?

The MCP server exposes 12 tools across 5 product categories: AI Chatbot (2), NFT Generator (4), Smart Contract Tools (2), Crypto News (2), and Account Management (2).

Do credits expire?

No. Credits never expire. Purchase once and use them whenever you need.

Is there a rate limit?

Yes. The API enforces a rate limit of 200 requests per minute per API key. Excess requests receive a 429 Too Many Requests response.

How do I report a bug?

Open an issue on the plugin GitHub repository and include the steps to reproduce, the expected versus actual behavior, your Claude Code version, and whether the issue occurs with the mock server or the live API: https://github.com/ChainGPT-org/chaingpt-claude-skill
