@pictify/mcp-server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Pictify — generate images, GIFs, 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 PDFs from templates — invoices, certificates, reports, shipping labels
• Batch generate up to 100 personalized images in one request (team badges, event passes, product catalogs)
• A/B test images with built-in experiments, traffic splitting, and auto-optimization
• 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.
