Dali MCP Overview

Lulu-The-Narwhal/dali-mcp MCP server evaluates prompts and advertising images before an AI generation credit is spent. It scores prompts from 0 to 100 for supported image and video models, and can return a structured rewrite brief when a prompt needs work. Its hosted creative-scoring tools compare images with a corpus of long-running ads and identify missing attributes. Use it when you need model-specific prompt feedback or market-based creative review rather than generic prompt advice.
