Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant turn user photos and a written brief into finished social-media designs such as stories, carousels, reel covers and invites.

What it does
Zaps is a hosted design service exposed as a remote MCP server. Its main tool, create_designs, takes photos plus a brief, picks matching templates, places the photos and text, and returns finished images with a link to keep editing each one in the Zaps editor. Supporting tools upload local photos, rank the template catalogue by a description, and render one chosen template with photos.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant should produce ready-to-post social graphics from a user's own photos and a short brief, without the user opening a design tool first. Search and the first design are free with no account, so it is easy to try before committing.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint over Streamable HTTP; no package install is needed. No key or signup is required to start, but calls that need an account trigger a browser OAuth sign-in to Zaps, after which the session stays signed in. Photos must be reachable as links or uploaded through the upload tool.
Before you install
Photos and text sent to the service are used to make the designs and are handled under Zaps' own privacy policy, so avoid sending sensitive images. Signing in grants the client access to a Zaps account through OAuth. Designs are created on Zaps' servers and returned as links, so the output lives with that provider.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Zaps in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

README

Zaps for agents

Turn someone's photos into finished social-media designs (stories, carousels, reel covers, invites) from any AI agent. Give it photos and a brief, and Zaps picks matching templates, places the photos and the words, and returns finished images with a link to keep editing each one in the Zaps editor.

  • No key, no signup to start. Searching and the first design are free with no account.
  • Signing in is a browser click. When a call needs an account, your client opens a Zaps sign-in page (OAuth). After that it stays signed in.
  • One hosted server: https://api.zaps.design/mcp (MCP, Streamable HTTP).

Anything elseAdd https://api.zaps.design/mcp as a remote (HTTP) MCP server

No install at all? One GET makes a design: https://api.zaps.design/make?brief=Birthday%20Party,%20Friends&photo=<public photo url>&text=Happy%20Birthday. In a browser, https://api.zaps.design/make is a form that takes photo files.
