Any client that speaks stdio MCP works the same way: run npx -y memeboat-mcp.
Tools
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).
