Overview

AI-generated overview

A hosted design generator that lets an assistant browse templates and produce logos, social posts, app screenshots, comics and visual-novel assets from prompts.

What you can do
Browse and get recommendations from a catalog of 119 design templates, filtered by category such as logo, Instagram or app-store screenshots, and inspect a template's editable text fields before generating. Generate finished designs from a chosen template plus a description, and create private reusable templates from a structured brief. Produce visual-novel character sprite sheets with cropped, background-removed cells and a ready manifest. Author Living Panels comics: write a 5-page comic from a premise, submit client-authored story JSON, check asset-production progress, and apply targeted revisions. Check the account's credit balance, usage and subscription status.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to turn a short brief into finished marketing or creative visuals — logos, social posts, store screenshots — or to produce comic and visual-novel assets without leaving the chat. Free browsing and recommendation tools make it reasonable to explore the catalog before committing credits.
Requirements
A remote Streamable HTTP endpoint; no local package needed for the hosted service. Authentication is required: OAuth browser sign-in is the normal path, with a long-lived token in DESIGNFORYOU_MCP_TOKEN as a fallback for headless clients. Generation is metered against a credit balance (50 free credits on sign-up), topped up on the website. An optional local sidecar via npx needs an installed, signed-in Grok CLI.
Before you install
Paid tools spend credits: generate, variations, text edits and sprite sheets are metered, and sprite sheets cost at least 3 credits. The token in DESIGNFORYOU_MCP_TOKEN is a long-lived credential to store carefully. Prompts and briefs are sent to a hosted third-party service. The optional Grok sidecar runs Grok headlessly with automatic tool approval, so only trusted prompts should be used, and its media generation meters the xAI account separately from any chat subscription.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Designforyou 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.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/org.swapp1990.designforyou%2Fdesignforyou/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

DesignForYou — MCP server

[npm] [MCP Registry] [License: MIT]

Generate logos, social posts, app-store screenshots, comic panels, and visual-novel assets from natural-language prompts — directly inside Claude Code, Grok, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, ChatGPT, or any MCP client.

DesignForYou is an MCP-native design generator backed by 119 templates. Browse and recommend tools are free; generation is metered per user (50 free credits on sign-up).

Demo

Auth

PathWhat you doWho stores secrets
OAuth (primary)Complete browser sign-in when the client promptsThe MCP client
Long-lived token (fallback)Sign in on the website → Generate on /connect → DESIGNFORYOU_MCP_TOKENYou (env / header)

OAuth is the normal path. PAT minting is only for Codex, headless agents, or when OAuth stays “disabled / not connected.” Full recipes: CONNECT.md or the live well-known guide above.

Install

Claude Code (recommended)

bash
claude mcp add --transport http designforyou https://designforyou.swapp1990.org/mcp/v2/claude mcp login designforyou

Approve the browser sign-in when prompted.

Grok

bash
grok mcp add --transport http designforyou https://designforyou.swapp1990.org/mcp/v2/

Then /mcps → designforyou → i (authorize) → browser → r.

OpenCode

Add a remote MCP entry for the URL above, then:

bash
opencode mcp auth designforyouopencode mcp list

Codex (bearer fallback)

  1. Generate a token at https://designforyou.swapp1990.org/connect
  2. Store as DESIGNFORYOU_MCP_TOKEN
  3. Configure:
powershell
codex mcp add designforyou --url https://designforyou.swapp1990.org/mcp/v2/ --bearer-token-env-var DESIGNFORYOU_MCP_TOKEN

Cursor

[Add to Cursor]

Or .cursor/mcp.json:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "designforyou": {      "url": "https://designforyou.swapp1990.org/mcp/v2/",      "transport": "http"    }  }}

VS Code

[Install in VS Code]

Claude Desktop / stdio shim

bash
npx -y designforyou-mcp

Or native HTTP in claude_desktop_config.json with the /mcp/v2/ URL. Complete OAuth when prompted.

Optional local Grok CLI sidecar

The default command above always uses the hosted DesignForYou MCP server. To run the focused local image and reference-animation tools instead, explicitly opt in with an installed, signed-in Grok Build CLI:

powershell
$env:DESIGNFORYOU_PROVIDER = "grok-subscription"npx -y designforyou-mcp

This sidecar invokes grok --single through the CLI's existing signed-in session; it never accepts or forwards an xAI API key, and it denies all MCP tools inside the spawned CLI so generation cannot route through a hosted billing server. Billing note: the Grok Build CLI's native media tools (image_gen, image_to_video) call the xAI API (api.x.ai) with the signed-in session token, so each generation meters the account's xAI console usage — media generation is not covered by the grok.com chat subscription. The sidecar exposes grok_generate_image and animate_reference_grok_video, and verifies the requested local output file before returning it. The hosted tools and their providers remain the default when the variable is unset. (The grok-subscription opt-in value is kept for compatibility with existing client configs.)

Use the sidecar from local Codex threads

Register the checked-out sidecar as a local stdio MCP server:

powershell
codex mcp add designforyou-grok-local `  --env DESIGNFORYOU_PROVIDER=grok-subscription `  -- node D:\MyProjects\Claude\designforyou-mcp\bin.js
codex mcp list

Restart Codex or open a new local thread after adding the server. The thread can then generate a starting frame with grok_generate_image and pass that file to animate_reference_grok_video for an acting performance:

json
{  "image_path": "D:\\assets\\actor-scene.jpg",  "prompt": "She notices someone entering, freezes, then forces a nervous smile. Step backward slowly while maintaining eye contact. Use a subtle handheld push-in.",  "line": "I wasn't expecting you.",  "duration": 6,  "aspect_ratio": "16:9",  "output_path": "D:\\assets\\performance.mp4"}

The reference may be supplied as image_path, image_url, or image_data_url. This is a local-development path: the Codex host must be able to run the installed, signed-in grok executable. Codex cloud threads cannot use the machine's Grok login or local files. Use only trusted prompts because the sidecar runs Grok headlessly with automatic tool approval.

For video results, public_url is returned when Grok supplies a usable URL/key or when optional S3 correlation is configured. The sidecar brackets generation with S3 listings and accepts only one newly-created object whose key is absent from the baseline and whose byte size exactly matches the verified local MP4; it also checks HTTP accessibility. S3 settings can be supplied with DESIGNFORYOU_GROK_S3_BUCKET, DESIGNFORYOU_GROK_S3_REGION, DESIGNFORYOU_GROK_S3_ENDPOINT, and DESIGNFORYOU_GROK_S3_KEY_PREFIX, or discovered from the narrowly-scoped [tools.zdr_video_output_s3] and its .read_write credentials section in the local Grok config. Missing configuration, listing failures, ambiguous matches, and inaccessible objects leave the verified local success intact and include a diagnostic. Automatic correlation requires the AWS CLI on PATH and the local Grok S3 configuration. The configured identity also needs s3:ListBucket restricted to the configured key prefix; upload-only s3:PutObject credentials cannot perform safe correlation. Credentials are passed only to the AWS child process and are never printed or packaged. If listing is unavailable, generation still returns the verified local file with an explicit diagnostic.

Example prompts

  • "Browse logo templates on DesignForYou."
  • "I'm opening a coffee shop called NEXUS — minimalist, warm earth tones. Make me a logo."
  • "Generate an Instagram post announcing a 20%-off flash sale for a vegan bakery."
  • "Create an app-store screenshot for a meditation app, calm gradient background."

How it works

DesignForYou exposes a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). On the first paid tool call (or when you run mcp login / mcp auth), your client discovers the OAuth flow (RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata → Supabase with Dynamic Client Registration), opens a browser for sign-in + consent, and stores tokens. Generation is metered against your credit balance; top up on the website.

This repository is the public home for install docs and the MCP server.json. The product itself is a hosted service — there is no self-host package.

Tools

14

browse_templates

Browse templates

Browse the DesignForYou template catalog. Optionally filter by category (e.g. 'instagram', 'app-store', 'logo', 'living-panels'). Returns template IDs, names, and previews.

Parameterscategorysubcategory

recommend_template

Recommend a template

Recommend the best matching templates for any use case. Describe what you need and the system auto-detects the category and ranks templates by relevance. Return the recommendations so the user can pick a template from the visual gallery; do not call `generate` in the same turn unless the user explicitly names a template_id or asks you to skip selection.

Parametersneedscategoryuse_caserequiredsubcategory

widget_diagnostic

Test widget rendering

Return a fixed, no-cost DesignForYou widget payload for ChatGPT Apps debugging. Use this only to verify the template gallery/result iframe renders correctly; it does not generate images, use an LLM, or charge credits.

Parametersmode

get_text_fields

Get template text fields

List a template's editable text fields (headline, subhead, CTA, etc.) with their current values. Free. Use right after a template is chosen and BEFORE `generate` when you want to fill the template's fields precisely instead of relying on a freeform description.

Parameterstemplate_idrequired

generate

Generate design

Generate one or more finished images from a template (get a template_id from recommend_template or browse_templates) plus a description. Use this after the user has selected or explicitly supplied a template_id; otherwise call `recommend_template` first so the visual gallery can collect the selection. Works for all categories (Instagram, logo, app-store, Visual Novel backgrounds/sprites, CG illustrations). Pass variants for multi-image output (expressions, time-of-day, etc.). Pass session_id to refine a prior result. Pass context_ids to ground a new image on prior designs (character consistency for VN CG scenes). Set model to 'minimax-h3-image-balanced' or 'minimax-h3-image-quality' (or use the 'h3 balanced'/'h3 quality' aliases) to render through the MiniMax H3 image service; context_ids are forwarded as ordered H3 reference images.

vn_generate_sprite_sheet

Generate VN sprite sheet

Generate one fixed-grid visual-novel character sprite sheet, crop it into cell assets, remove the chroma-key background, validate transparent sprites, and return a VN Creator-ready manifest. Base cost: 3 credits. Optional quality.hi_res_cells=true adds a reference-grounded per-cell re-render at full native resolution (fixes cells being limited to ~1/N of the sheet resolution) and bills +2 credits per cell re-rendered. quality.hi_res_model optionally routes the hi-res pass to a specific model (e.g. gpt-image-2 for fabric fidelity).

Parameterscellsrequiredmodelsheetrequiredstylerequiredoutputqualityprovidercharacterrequired

comic_design_brief

Get comic design brief

Return the no-server-LLM Living Panels authoring brief: PanelScript instructions, schema, unit templates, and success criteria. Use this when the MCP client will do the creative direction with its own model, then call comic_submit_design with the authored Story JSON.

Parameterspremiserequired

comic_submit_design

Submit client-directed comic

Accept a client-authored Living Panels Story JSON and start artifact production without using a server story LLM. The client does direction; DesignForYou validates, saves, generates character sheets, panel/unit art, motion clips, voice-over, and assembles the public reader.

Parametersstoryrequiredpremiserequiredclient_nameclient_modelstart_production

create_template

Create private reusable template

Create a private reusable DesignForYou template from a structured brief. The returned template_id works immediately with get_text_fields and generate. This stores a user-owned template in the canonical catalog collection; it does not publish it to the anonymous gallery.

Parametersnamerequiredwidthrequiredheightrequiredbest_forcategoryrequiredbase_promptrequiredsubcategorytext_fieldsrequiredaspect_ratiorequiredlayout_rulesrequired

create_comic

Create living comic

Write and produce a Living Panels interactive comic from a one-paragraph premise. One call writes a complete 5-page comic (panels, dialogue, motion plan, voice casting) and starts generating every asset in the background: character sheet, ~13 panels of art with character consistency, ambient image-to-video motion for the liveliest panels, and per-line voice-over. Returns immediately with the story summary and a public reader_url where the comic can be read, watched live, and heard. Production takes several minutes — poll comic_status until ready, then share the reader_url.

Parameterspremiserequired

comic_status

Check comic production

Check asset-production progress for a comic created with create_comic: panels, motion clips, and voice lines done vs total, plus ready=true when the whole comic is live at its reader_url. Free to call.

Parameterscomic_idrequired

comic_revision_brief

Get comic revision brief

Return the current Story JSON, stale-write hash, allowed patch paths, and dirty-node contract for a client-authored Living Panels revision. Use this when the client will decide the edit with its own model, then call comic_submit_revision.

Parameterscomic_idrequired

comic_submit_revision

Submit client comic revision

Apply a client-authored Living Panels revision without using a server revision LLM. Targeted changes regenerate only inferred dirty producer nodes such as panel:<id>, motion:<id>, or tts:<bubble_id>.

Parametersstorychangessummarycomic_idrequiredclient_namedirty_nodesclient_modelbase_story_hashrequiredstart_production

get_credits

Check credit balance

Return the authenticated user's current credit balance, usage, and Stripe subscription status. Free to call.

Takes no parameters.
