Social cards and OG images from designed templates: card from a URL, presets, meta tags, link checks
Quick Install
Automated & IDE SetupCopy the AI prompt to install this server into Claude Code, Cursor, or another agent — or use 1-click editor setup below.
One-click editor setup isn’t available for this listing yet — we don’t have a confirmed install command, and we’d rather show nothing than point your editor at the wrong package or host. Follow the project’s own setup instructions, linked above.
Manual Client & Custom JSON ConfigExpand JSON â–¾
No confirmed setup config for this listing yet. We only publish a config block when the install details come from the project itself — its README, its docs, or a verified owner. We haven’t found those for betterimage.io, and we’d rather show nothing than a guess you’d paste into your client. Follow the project’s own setup instructions for the current steps.
Documentation Overview
betterimage.io MCP server
Social cards and OG images for your AI assistant. Give Claude, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client a page URL and get back a link-preview card on a design picked to fit the page; browse 100 starter designs, preview them with your own text, check how a link previews on X, LinkedIn, Slack and Discord, generate Open Graph and Twitter tags, and with an account save templates, render clean images and get signed og:image URLs that need no hosting.
Every image is rendered from a designed template by a deterministic renderer: the text changes, layout, fonts and colours stay on-brand. No generative image model is involved.
This repository holds the public distribution files for the hosted server (install manifests, registry metadata). The server itself runs at https://betterimage.io/mcp and is documented at https://betterimage.io/mcp.

Tools
No account needed:
card_from_url: a social card for an existing page, in one call. Fetches the page like a crawler, picks the design that fits it, returns the image (watermarked preview).list_presets: the 100 starter designs with key, size, categories and preview image.preview_card: render a preset with your text (watermarked preview, no quota).check_link_preview: what X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack and Discord will show for a URL, with concrete fixes.generate_meta_tags: the complete<head>block with Open Graph and Twitter tags.
With an account (OAuth or API key):
list_templates,save_template: your saved designs.render_card: a clean PNG from a saved template (paid plans; watermarked on the free tier).og_image_url: a signed og:image URL rendered on first fetch and cached at the edge, so every page gets its own card with no hosting.get_usage: plan, watermark status and monthly quota.
Every render tool's fields object also takes the card's pictures by URL -
image_url, image2_url, logo_url and background_url - fetched
server-side and drawn in the slot the design already lays out. That is what
turns one saved template into a whole catalogue: one card per product, same
colours, fonts and crop framing. PNG, JPEG or WebP up to 5 MB, decided by the
bytes rather than the URL; the fetch is SSRF-hardened and a URL pointing back
at betterimage.io is refused.
Every tool carries a title and readOnlyHint/destructiveHint annotations; the two write tools are save_template and render_card.
