Introduction

The Orshot Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server allows you to generate dynamic images from templates directly within AI applications like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools. This integration enables natural language image generation, making it easy to create visuals through conversational prompts.

Connect (Recommended)

The easiest way to use the Orshot MCP Server is to connect to our hosted remote server.

Server URL: https://mcp.orshot.com/sse

Configuration

Since the remote server is shared, you will need to provide your Orshot API Key in your prompt when using the tools, or configure your MCP client to send it if supported.

Cursor (Agent Mode)

1. Open Cursor Settings > General > MCP Servers
2. Click + Add new MCP server
3. Select SSE type
4. Enter URL: https://mcp.orshot.com/sse

VS Code (MCP Extension)

If you are using the MCP extension in VS Code, add this to your .vscode/mcp.json or global configuration:

{
  "servers": {
    "orshot": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://mcp.orshot.com/sse"
    }
  }
}

Other MCP Clients

Look for "Remote MCP" or "SSE" configuration options in your client and enter the URL https://mcp.orshot.com/sse.

Local Installation (Advanced)

Run the server locally to bypass passing your API key in every prompt.

1. Get Your API Key

1. Sign up at Orshot.com for a free account
2. Navigate to Workspace > Settings > API Key
3. Copy your API key for configuration

2. Install and Configure

1. Clone or download the Orshot MCP Server from the repository
2. Install dependencies: npm install && npm run build

3. Configure Claude Desktop

Add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration in claude_desktop_config.json. This allows you to set the ORSHOT_API_KEY environment variable once.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "orshot": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/orshot-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
      "env": { "ORSHOT_API_KEY": "your-api-key" }
    }
  }
}

4. Start Using with Natural Language

• "Generate a mockup using studio template id 64 with this logo"
• "Create a website screenshot of github.com using orshot"
• "Generate an ad banner with heading 'Grow your business'"
• "List all available studio templates"
• "How do I use the video generation API? Check the orshot docs."
