Other MCP Clients¶

Any client that supports stdio MCP servers works. The recipe is always the same three ingredients:

Setting	Value
Command	`npx`
Arguments	`["-y", "imgflip-mcp"]`
Environment	`IMGFLIP_USERNAME`, `IMGFLIP_PASSWORD`, optionally `IMGFLIP_PREMIUM`

Running from a source checkout instead? Use command node with argument /absolute/path/to/imgflip-mcp/dist/index.js.

Cursor¶

.cursor/mcp.json in your project (or the global equivalent):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "imgflip": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "imgflip-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "IMGFLIP_USERNAME": "your-username",
        "IMGFLIP_PASSWORD": "your-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

MCP Inspector (for testing)¶

The MCP Inspector gives you a web UI to poke at the server directly — useful for debugging your setup without involving an AI:

IMGFLIP_USERNAME=you IMGFLIP_PASSWORD=secret \
  npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx -y imgflip-mcp

Requirements¶

Node.js 18+ available on the machine that runs the client
Outbound HTTPS access to api.imgflip.com (and i.imgflip.com for inline image embedding)
