## Description
Create layered images and timeline-based videos from Codex, Claude, Cursor or any MCP client. Render the result, then open the same project in Picorn for manual edits. Free, no API key.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **picorn_capabilities** — List live canvas formats, fonts, layouts, image models, GPU reachability and fair-use limits.
- **picorn_projects_create** — Create a marketing project that can hold many editor files and imported image assets. Keep the returned workspaceProjectId and workspaceProjectKey together; use them when adding every related file.
- **picorn_projects_inspect** — List every editor file, imported asset, and the project brand profile with named colors and saved logos or visual references. File entries include their current thumbnail, status, creation URL and canonical /studio/editor?runId=... editorUrl. Always give the user that editorUrl.
- **picorn_projects_update** — Update the name, description, or named color scheme of a marketing project, then return its complete file, asset, and brand index.
- **picorn_design_image** — CODEX-ONLY. The calling Codex supplies the complete SVG, including copy and layout. Picorn resolves declared placeholders and renders it through Fabric/SVG. No internal language or design model is called.
- **picorn_generate_image** — Generate a raw image with self-hosted Z-Image Turbo. Returns an inline preview and public creationUrl.
- **picorn_generate_vector_assets** — Use Picorn's native editor engine: first generate raster artwork with self-hosted Z-Image Turbo on ComfyUI, remove its background, then convert it through the bundled multi-colour SVG converter. Generates five variants, selects the strongest result and returns the top three. Signets also return one layered editor file that displays the three shortlisted SVGs inside the same native project. Use this tool for every newly generated signet and custom icon.
- **picorn_edit_image** — Transform an existing image with Flux 2 Klein. Returns an inline preview and public creationUrl.
- **picorn_render_svg** — Render your SVG through Picorn with real typography and declarative image workers. Put placeholder <rect> elements inside the SVG and choose their backend with data-clipart-engine="svg-converter" (fresh ComfyUI image, background removal, then Picorn PNG→SVG vectorisation), data-clipart-engine="z-image-turbo" (raster photo/cutout), or data-clipart-engine="library" (existing vector only). Include data-clipart-prompt; use data-clipart-num-colors="1..7" for svg-converter, and data-clipart-keep-bg="true" for a full scene. Picorn resolves all placeholders internally; never call the admin converter or return generated base64 yourself. Returns an inline preview and public creationUrl.
- **picorn_editor_import_image** — Import image bytes from any external or agent-native image generator into Picorn storage. Pass imageBase64 with or without a data: prefix, then use the returned imageUrl in one or more native image layers. This is the bridge for iterative generator → editor → render workflows.
- **picorn_editor_create_project** — Create a persistent native Picorn editor project. For a finished static layout, pass svg: a complete SVG containing text/shapes plus declarative data-clipart placeholders. Picorn runs the selected engines in the background, stores the generated assets, converts the SVG into editable native layers, and returns a populated project in one call. Omit svg only when you intentionally want an empty slide for incremental layer operations. Returns projectId, slideId, exact canvas dimensions, and the canonical /studio/editor?runId=... editorUrl that must be included in the final answer.
- **picorn_editor_create_slideshow** — Create, persist and render a complete 1–20 slide Picorn file in one deterministic call from finished agent-authored SVG and/or native editable layers. The calling agent is the only design model: this path does not call /api/generate-svg, Gemini, OpenRouter, or another LLM. Work is bounded before persistence to 50,000,000 total canvas pixels and 1,000 total layers. Fair-use cost is one unit per four slides, rounded up. Returns every persistent render URL, an inline contact-sheet preview, and the canonical editorUrl. Response provenance is modelProvider="calling-agent" and externalLlmCalls=0.
- **picorn_editor_inspect_project** — Read the complete project, including every slide, layer, property, z-index, and latest rendered image URL.
- **picorn_video_create_project** — Create a persistent video project with a real 30fps timeline, native layers, keyframes and a canonical /video/editor link.
- **picorn_video_import_media** — Upload agent-owned MP4, WebM, MOV, MP3, WAV, AAC, M4A or OGG bytes into Picorn storage for use by video/audio timeline layers. Maximum 15 MB.
- **picorn_editor_add_slide** — Add another slide to an editor project. Projects support up to 20 slides. Returns the new slide as an inline preview.
- **picorn_editor_update_slide** — Change a slide background, semantic role, or image prompt. Returns the changed slide as an inline preview.
- **picorn_editor_delete_slide** — Delete a slide and its layers. A project always keeps at least one slide.
- **picorn_editor_add_layer** — Add a native editor layer. Supported types: text, image, shape, group, qr, video, audio. SVG uses an image layer with isSvg:true. Position is the layer CENTER in canvas pixels. The layer accepts the same persisted fields as /editor: transforms, opacity, blendMode, text styles/effects/rich text, image filters/customFilters/crop/masks/local effects/perspective, shape gradients/strokes/shadows, QR styling, timeline ranges, trims, volume, and keyframes. Returns the changed slide as an inline preview automatically.
- **picorn_editor_update_layer** — Patch any editable property on a layer: content, position, size, transform, style, filters, masks, effects, blend mode, visibility, lock state, SVG overrides, timing, audio, or keyframes. Returns the changed slide as an inline preview automatically.
- **picorn_video_add_clip** — Add a video or audio clip to a Picorn timeline. Source URLs must use an approved public media host. Video positions are center coordinates; timing and trim values are frame-based.
- **picorn_editor_delete_layers** — Delete one or more layers and clean their group references.
- **picorn_editor_reorder_layers** — Set layer order. objectIds are bottom-to-top; omitted existing IDs retain their relative order on top.
- **picorn_editor_group_layers** — Create the same metadata group used by the visual editor. Grouping preserves world positions and render output.
- **picorn_editor_ungroup_layers** — Remove a group while preserving all child layers.
- **picorn_editor_align_layers** — Align positioned layers to their shared left, center, right, top, middle, or bottom bound.
- **picorn_editor_distribute_layers** — Evenly distribute three or more positioned layers horizontally or vertically.
- **picorn_editor_duplicate_layer** — Duplicate a non-group layer, including all style, filter, effect, mask, and animation properties.
- **picorn_editor_render_project** — Render selected or all slides through Picorn's real Fabric editor pipeline. Returns persistent public image URLs, a multi-page PDF, or a page-faithful DOCX download, creationUrl, and the canonical editorUrl that must be given to the user. DOCX preserves the visual layout as page images; edit text and layers in SEEZ Editor. Static renders include text, image/SVG, shape, group and QR layers; video/audio timing remains editable project data for the video editor.
- **picorn_video_render_project** — Render the native timeline to a finished MP4/H.264 or WebM/VP9 file. The render includes multi-slide sequencing, timed layers, video frames, keyframe animation and mixed audio, and returns a public video URL plus /video/editor link.
- **picorn_search_icons** — Search Picorn's vector icon library before composing a design.
- **picorn_search_areas** — Find approved torn, wavy, blob, banner and other decorative shapes for a design.

## Documentation

## What Picorn MCP MCP server does

Picorn MCP MCP server lets an MCP client create and manage visual work in Picorn. Its scope covers layered images, persistent editor projects, multi-slide files, and timeline-based videos. Results can be rendered to public image URLs, PDFs, DOCX files, or finished MP4 and WebM videos, depending on the workflow.

The server supports both agent-authored and model-assisted asset creation. Agents can provide complete SVG layouts, including text, shapes, and declared image placeholders, or request raster images and vector assets from Picorn's hosted generation pipeline. Projects can then be opened in Picorn for manual changes.

## How it works

Start by checking capabilities when the workflow depends on available canvas formats, fonts, layouts, image models, GPU status, or fair-use limits. For marketing projects, create a project and retain its workspace project ID and key together when adding files. Project inspection returns editor files, imported assets, brand information, thumbnails, statuses, and canonical editor URLs.

For native editing, create a project or slideshow from completed SVG and editable layers. The server can resolve declarative SVG placeholders, store generated assets, and convert the result into editable native layers. Incremental workflows can import external image bytes, add or update layers, arrange them, and render selected or all slides.

Video workflows use a persistent 30fps timeline. Agents can create a video project, import supported media, add clips, configure timing and trims, and use keyframes or timed layers before rendering to MP4/H.264 or WebM/VP9.

## Tools and capabilities

The Picorn MCP MCP server exposes tools for:

- Reading live capabilities and inspecting project contents.
- Creating and updating marketing projects, editor projects, slideshows, and video projects.
- Generating raw images with self-hosted Z-Image Turbo and editing images with Flux 2 Klein.
- Creating vector assets through raster generation, background removal, and multi-colour SVG conversion.
- Rendering SVG layouts with selectable image backends and declarative placeholders.
- Importing image and video/audio media into Picorn storage.
- Adding, updating, deleting, duplicating, grouping, ungrouping, aligning, distributing, and reordering editor layers.
- Adding, updating, and deleting slides, with editor projects supporting up to 20 slides.
- Rendering image projects to images, PDF, or DOCX, and rendering timelines to MP4 or WebM.

Layer operations support text, image, shape, group, QR, video, and audio types. Persisted properties include transforms, styles, filters, masks, effects, blend modes, visibility, timing, audio settings, and keyframes where applicable.

## Limitations and notes

The design-image tool is Codex-only and expects the calling Codex agent to provide the complete SVG; it does not call an internal language or design model. The slideshow path likewise uses agent-authored SVG or native layers and reports the calling agent as the model provider.

Video and audio imports accept MP4, WebM, MOV, MP3, WAV, AAC, M4A, and OGG files up to 15 MB. Video clips must reference an approved public media host. Slideshow creation is limited to 20 slides, 50,000,000 total canvas pixels, and 1,000 total layers. Fair-use slideshow cost is one unit per four slides, rounded up.

The service returns public creation or render URLs and editor links, so clients should present the canonical editor URL when a workflow produces one. No API key is required according to the supplied description.
