📌Overview

Purpose: To provide a simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that generates memes using the ImgFlip API, allowing AI models and tools to create meme images from user prompts.

Overview: The Meme MCP Server facilitates meme generation by implementing a single tool called generateMeme, which makes it easy for developers to integrate meme creation into their applications through a straightforward configuration process.

Key Features:

• Meme Generation Tool: The generateMeme tool allows users to specify parameters like templateNumericId, text0, and text1 to create customized memes based on selected templates.

• Easy Configuration: Users can quickly set up the server in their client applications using the meme-mcp NPM package, which includes environment variable settings for ImgFlip API credentials, ensuring seamless integration.

Meme MCP Server

A simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for generating memes using the ImgFlip API. This server allows AI models and tools to generate meme images from user prompts.

Tools

The server implements a tool called generateMeme, which accepts the following parameters:

• templateNumericId: The numeric ID of the meme template to use.
• text0: The text for the first placeholder.
• text1: The text for the second placeholder.

Usage

You can configure the meme generator server in your client using the meme-mcp NPM package. Here is an example configuration for Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "meme": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "meme-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "IMGFLIP_USERNAME": "<IMGFLIP USERNAME>",
        "IMGFLIP_PASSWORD": "<IMGFLIP PASSWORD>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: You need to create a free account on ImgFlip to get your username and password.

Troubleshooting

If Claude Desktop fails to find the right version of npx, you can manually install meme-mcp globally:

npm install -g meme-mcp

Find the path of your node executable by running which node in your terminal. After that, your configuration should look like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "meme": {
      "command": "/path/to/your/node",
      "args": ["/path/to/meme-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "IMGFLIP_USERNAME": "<IMGFLIP USERNAME>",
        "IMGFLIP_PASSWORD": "<IMGFLIP PASSWORD>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Example

After configuring Claude Desktop, restart it and look for the hammer icon at the bottom right of the chat input. You can then prompt Claude to generate a meme.
