Memeboat MCP
MCP server for Memeboat — search 25,000+ meme templates and create real, shareable memes straight from your AI assistant. Free, anonymous, no API key.
Ask your assistant things like:
"Make a Buzz Lightyear everywhere meme about code reviews"
…and it will search the catalog, caption the template, and hand you back a live meme URL:
https://memebo.at/meme/x-x-everywhere-code-reviews-code-reviews-everywhere-ab12cd

Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_meme_templates | Search templates by name or topic (query, optional limit). Returns slugs, image URLs and a suggestedCaptionCount per template. |
get_meme_template | Details for one template by slug: dimensions, image URL, caption count. |
create_meme | Caption a template (template slug + texts[], top-to-bottom) and get back the meme's page URL and direct image URL. Supports per-caption styling and layout (see below). |
Caption placement: 1 text = bottom caption, 2 texts = classic top/bottom, more texts fill the template's own caption boxes in order — matching suggestedCaptionCount gives the best results.
Styling (create_meme): each entry in texts[] can be a plain string or an object { text, color?, outline?, font? }. Colors are a hex value (#f00/#ff0000) or one of white, black, red, yellow, blue, green; leave outline off and a readable outline is picked for you. A top-level font sets the default for every caption, and layout: "top" puts the captions in a white bar above the image instead of overlaying them. Fonts: impact, arial, helvetica, times, courier, titillium, thick, kalam, comic, notosans, notosanshebrew.
"Make a drake meme, red top caption, in the top layout"
How it works
This package is a thin stdio client over Memeboat's public JSON API (https://memebo.at/api/...). Created memes are rendered server-side by Memeboat and hosted there — the image URL is immediately shareable. Creation is rate-limited per IP; be a good citizen.
Point the server at another instance with MEMEBOAT_API_URL (useful for development).
