Native remote servers need a recent Zed, which prompts the standard MCP OAuth flow. On older versions, connect via the mcp-remote bridge (see Zed's MCP docs).

Then just ask

Ask in plain language. Zed does the rest.

Once connected, Zed can call the Orshot tools directly. You describe the visual you want, it renders it from your template and hands back the links.

  • Render OG images, ad creatives and carousels from a template
  • Resize one design to every social format in a single call
  • Generate certificates, invoices and reports as PDFs
  • Publish the render straight to social, in the same step
