Memegician MCP server

Make memes inside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and any MCP client. Your assistant writes the captions; Memegician finds the right template among 400+ classics and renders the image.

Hosted server: https://memegician.ai/mcp (Streamable HTTP, nothing to install)
Free tier (no key): 500 template searches and 25 rendered memes a day (with a small memegician.ai watermark), plus trending templates
Sign in with Memegician (optional): unlocks generate_memes, which writes 6 finished memes per call from your account credits (new accounts get 15 free). Your AI app shows a sign-in button the first time you use it.
With an API key (get one, Startup or Enterprise plan): watermark-free renders; each render uses one API request

Prompt: make_meme (topic, tone?).

The first four tools are free and need no account. Try: "Make a meme about Monday meetings using a trending template." Signed in: "Generate memes about my code working on the first try."

Sign in (for `generate_memes`)

Memegician is a standard OAuth 2.1 authorization server for MCP (PKCE, Client ID Metadata Documents, dynamic client registration, resource-bound tokens). Remote connectors (Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code) handle it for you:

Ask for something that uses generate_memes.
Your app shows Connect / Sign in. Log in to memegician.ai (Google or email code) and click Allow.
Ask again. Each call uses 1 credit; paid plans get watermark-free memes.

Manage or disconnect apps any time under Profile → Connected apps on memegician.ai. Local (stdio) setups can't sign in; use a Startup/Enterprise API key there.

Connect (remote, recommended)

Claude (claude.ai / desktop): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → https://memegician.ai/mcp

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http memegician https://memegician.ai/mcp

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json) · Windsurf uses serverUrl instead of url:

{ "mcpServers": { "memegician": { "url": "https://memegician.ai/mcp" } } }

VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json):

{ "servers": { "memegician": { "type": "http", "url": "https://memegician.ai/mcp" } } }

Optional: add "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } for watermark-free renders, or to use generate_memes without signing in (Startup/Enterprise key).

Connect (local command)

For clients that only run local commands, use the stdio bridge. It forwards to the hosted server and has no dependencies.

npm (Node 18+):

{ "mcpServers": { "memegician": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "memegician-mcp"], "env": { "MEMEGICIAN_API_KEY": "optional" } } } }

PyPI (Python 3.8+):

{ "mcpServers": { "memegician": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["memegician-mcp"], "env": { "MEMEGICIAN_API_KEY": "optional" } } } }

Leave MEMEGICIAN_API_KEY out to use the free tier. In local setups generate_memes needs the key (or connect the remote URL above and sign in).

Privacy

Rendered memes get a permanent public URL so they can be shared. Signing in gives the AI app a token tied to your account and this server only; access tokens last 1 hour and you can revoke the app from Connected apps. Full policy: https://memegician.ai/privacy Don't put private information in captions. Free-tier captions pass an automated safety check.
