MCP Configuration

Add the server to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "meme-generator": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "git+https://github.com/t0ster/meme-generator-mcp",
        "meme-generator-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Local Development

git clone https://github.com/t0ster/meme-generator-mcp.git
cd meme-generator-mcp
uv sync

MCP configuration for local development:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "meme-generator": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "meme-generator-mcp", "--dev"]
    }
  }
}

The --dev flag uses local app/meme_templates/ and app/meme_configs.json instead of copying to the config directory.

Tools

get_meme_info

Get information about available memes and their placeholder requirements.

Parameters:

• meme_name (optional): Get info for a specific meme

Example:

{
  "meme_name": "drake_pointing"
}

generate_meme

Generate a meme with custom text overlays.

Parameters:

• meme_name: The type of meme to generate

  "texts": {
    "disapprove": "Writing documentation",
    "approve": "Generating memes"
  }
}

Generated memes are saved to ~/.config/meme-generator-mcp/generated_memes/ by default (customizable via MEME_GENERATOR_MCP_OUTPUT_PATH).

On Windows, the default config directory is %LOCALAPPDATA%\meme-generator-mcp.

Adding Custom Memes
