AgentsAgent Skills

Give your AI agent Orshot. Images, PDFs and video on tap.

Connect Orshot to Claude, Cursor, Codex or any MCP client and your agent can generate branded images, PDFs and video from your templates — no local install, no glue code.

Full docs

No local install

Point any MCP client at the hosted server. OAuth or an API key — nothing to run, nothing to keep updated.

60+ tools, ready

Render, templates, brand assets, workflows and social — your agent gets them all the moment it connects.

One design, any size

Ask for an OG image and a story in one breath — Smart Resize re-lays-out the design to every format.

Publish, not just render

Agents can post the render straight to Instagram, LinkedIn or X — in the same call, no second tool.

MCP server

A hosted MCP server. Every capability, as tools.

The remote server at mcp.orshot.com/mcp speaks streamable-HTTP and authenticates over OAuth or an API key. Once connected, your agent can render, manage templates and brand assets, run workflows and publish — the same things you’d do through the REST API.

Agent skill

A skill your agent loads to use Orshot correctly.

Beyond raw tools, the Orshot Agent Skill teaches a coding agent how the API actually works — the parameter model, the gotchas, and worked recipes — so it writes correct calls the first time instead of guessing.

  • Install with npx skills add orshot-hq/orshot-agent-skills
  • Works with 30+ agents that support the open Agent Skills spec
  • Including Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Codex, Cline and more
  • Published on skills.sh and GitHub — read it before you install

  • Authentication (OAuth or API key) and the base URL
  • How modifications key by parameterId, with the page1@ prefix for carousels
  • Smart Resize — one design rendered at every social size
  • Gotchas that prevent failed renders (video elements, public URLs, response shape)
  • Copy-paste recipes: OG images, bulk certificates, render-and-publish
  • Migration playbooks from Bannerbear, Placid, Creatomate and more
Set up your tool

One hosted server. Every major agent.

Pick your tool for the exact setup — a config snippet or a few clicks, then your agent can render from your templates.

Who it's for

One connection. Every kind of builder.

For agent builders

A visual-generation tool your agent can call

Give your Claude, Cursor or LangGraph agent one tool that turns a template ID and some values into branded OG images, certificates, carousels and video.

For developers

Skip the boilerplate

Let your coding agent wire up Orshot from the skill and MCP server while you review — no reading docs, no SDK glue, correct calls the first time.

For automation engineers

Same templates, agent-driven

Drive renders from an agent the way you'd drive them from n8n — the same template IDs and workspace, no duplicate assets or drift.

For founders

Ship 'AI that makes your graphics'

Add visual generation to your product without a design pipeline — the agent renders from your templates, on brand, every time.

Agent-ready by design

Everything an agent needs to find and use Orshot, published.

Discovery, auth and the full contract are all machine-readable — so agents and MCP clients can connect without a human reading a setup guide.

Remote MCP server

Hosted at mcp.orshot.com/mcp — streamable-HTTP, OAuth or API key.

FAQ

Orshot agent skill and MCP server questions

What does the Orshot agent skill teach my coding agent?

It is a SKILL.md your agent loads that documents how Orshot actually behaves: authenticating with OAuth or an API key, the fact that modifications key by parameterId rather than layer name, the page1@ prefix that targets a specific page in a carousel, how Smart Resize re-solves a design at a new canvas size, and the gotchas that silently produce a failed render — video layers, image URLs that must be publicly reachable, and the shape of the response object.

How do I install the Orshot agent skill?

Run npx skills add orshot-hq/orshot-agent-skills in your project. It follows the open Agent Skills specification, so it works in Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Codex, Cline, Gemini CLI and 30+ other agents. The source is on GitHub and skills.sh if you want to read it before installing.

Should I use the Orshot agent skill or the Orshot MCP server?

They solve different halves of the problem. The MCP server gives your agent live tools it can call — render this template, list my brand colors, run this workflow — and is the right choice when the agent should produce assets at runtime. The skill gives your agent knowledge of the Orshot REST API and SDKs, and is the right choice when the agent is writing Orshot code into your app. Using both is common: the skill writes the integration, the MCP server runs it.

Does the agent skill help migrate from another render API?

Yes — it carries migration playbooks for Bannerbear, Placid, Creatomate and others, so you can point a coding agent at your existing integration and have it translate the calls to Orshot's parameter model rather than mapping every field by hand.

Do I need to host or run anything for the Orshot MCP server?

No. It is hosted at mcp.orshot.com/mcp, speaks streamable-HTTP and authenticates over OAuth or an API key. There is no local process to run and nothing to keep updated — when Orshot ships a new tool your agent picks it up on the next connection.

How does Orshot know which workspace my agent is acting on?

OAuth scopes the connection to a single Orshot workspace, so the templates, brand kit and credits your agent sees are that workspace's. Agencies running a workspace per client connect each one separately, which keeps one client's brand assets out of another's renders.

What does it cost to use the skill and MCP server?

Both are free to install and connect. Only renders consume credits from your Orshot plan, and every account starts with 30 credits and no credit card, so an agent can generate real output before you pay anything.

Connect your agent in a minute. 30 free credits to try everything.

No credit card. Point any MCP client at the hosted server, or drop the skill into your coding agent — rendering, templates and publishing included.
