Claude Code¶

Two ways again — the plugin is the zero-maintenance one.

Option A — as a plugin¶

This repository doubles as a Claude Code plugin marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add mariokernich/imgflip-mcp
/plugin install imgflip@imgflip-mcp

The plugin starts the server via npx -y imgflip-mcp and reads your credentials from the shell environment, so export them once in ~/.bashrc / ~/.zshrc:

export IMGFLIP_USERNAME="your-username"
export IMGFLIP_PASSWORD="your-password"
# optional, only with an API Premium subscription:
export IMGFLIP_PREMIUM="true"

Option B — register the server directly¶

claude mcp add imgflip \
  --env IMGFLIP_USERNAME=your-username \
  --env IMGFLIP_PASSWORD=your-password \
  -- npx -y imgflip-mcp

Add --env IMGFLIP_PREMIUM=true for the Premium tools.

By default this registers the server for the current project; use claude mcp add --scope user … to make it available everywhere.

Verify¶

claude mcp list   # "imgflip" should show as ✔ connected

Then, inside any session:

"Which meme templates are trending right now?"

Memes in your workflow

Claude Code can drop meme links into commit messages, PR descriptions or generated docs. Whether it should is between you and your reviewers — see Use Cases & Ideas.
