  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 4 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 87 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 88 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    2 of 2 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Pass
    Stable tool list

    No tool was removed and no required parameter was added in the last 30 days.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    15 of 15 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Pass
    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass

Capabilities

Tools 4

create_designs

The whole job in one call: give it a SEARCH QUERY you have written, your photo URLs and the words you want on the design, and it finds templates that fit, renders each with your photos and your copy, and returns several finished designs to choose between. Use this when someone wants options — it is search and render together, so there is no need to call search_templates and fill_template yourself. Templates that hold every photo you supplied are preferred, so pass all of them. Photos attached in the conversation go in `photos`; photos already on the web go in `images`. Each returned design spends one agentic token.

Discovered
fill_template

Render a finished image: give it a template id from search_templates and the photo URLs to place, and it returns the rendered design. Photos are placed into the template's image slots in the order given, so pass them in the order you want them to appear. Photos attached in the conversation go in `photos`; photos already on the web go in `images`. Each render spends one agentic token.

Discovered
search_templates

Find design templates. YOU write the query, and its wording decides the match: the catalogue describes each template as Title Case phrases separated by commas, and a query in that same register scores about 0.11 higher than the same intent written as a sentence. Write five or six phrases covering the occasion, the subject and the mood — "Coffee Shop, Cafe Vibes, Grand Opening, Latte Art, Cafe Aesthetic" rather than "grand opening of a neighbourhood coffee shop". A single word is worst of all. Returns templates with an id to fill and a link a person can open to keep editing.

Discovered
upload_images

Call this FIRST when the photos are on the caller's machine rather than already on the web — our renderer fetches over the network and cannot read a local path. Simplest way: read each file and pass it in `files` as base64; the reply gives you a publicUrl per photo to hand straight to create_designs, with nothing else to run. If you would rather upload the bytes yourself, pass `count` instead and you get presigned links to PUT to. Costs nothing either way.
