An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Pictify — generate images, GIFs, videos, and PDFs from AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

One-line install. No code required. Ask your AI assistant to create OG images, social media cards, screenshots, animated GIFs, PDF invoices, certificates, and more — all from natural language.

What can it do?

  • Generate images from HTML/CSS, URLs, or reusable templates (OG images, Twitter cards, banners, product screenshots)
  • Create animated GIFs from CSS animations or by recording live web pages
  • Render videos from templates, including agent-authored Remotion scenes
  • Render PDFs from templates — invoices, certificates, reports, shipping labels
  • Batch generate up to 100 personalized images in one request (team badges, event passes, product catalogs)
  • Template system with 50+ expression functions for dynamic content (conditionals, string manipulation, date formatting)

Works with Claude (claude.ai + Claude Code + Claude Desktop), Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client.

Configuration

VariableDescriptionDefault
PICTIFY_API_KEYYour Pictify API key (required for stdio mode)
PICTIFY_BASE_URLCustom API base URLhttps://api.pictify.io
PICTIFY_DEBUGEnable verbose logging to stderrfalse
PICTIFY_MCP_SOURCESlug identifying where this MCP server was installed from (e.g. mcp.so, glama, smithery, claude_desktop_gallery, github). Sent as X-Pictify-MCP-Source on every API call so Pictify can attribute installs by directory.unknown

Install attribution

When you submit @pictify/mcp-server to an MCP directory, set PICTIFY_MCP_SOURCE in the install snippet so we can attribute signups to that listing. Example for the mcp.so directory entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pictify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pictify/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "PICTIFY_API_KEY": "your_api_key",
        "PICTIFY_MCP_SOURCE": "mcp.so"
      }
    }
  }
}

For the hosted remote (https://mcp.pictify.io), pass the slug as a query param on the connector URL instead — the server persists it on the OAuth session:

https://mcp.pictify.io?source=mcp.so

Accepted slugs: lowercase letters, digits, ., -, _, up to 64 characters. Anything else is dropped to unknown.

Development

git clone https://github.com/pictify-io/pictify-mcp.git
cd pictify-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Test with MCP Inspector:

PICTIFY_API_KEY=your_key npm run inspector
