MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the Createa Meme API. Lets Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Continue, and any other MCP-compatible client generate memes through natural language.

Install

You don't install — your MCP client runs it on demand via npx.

Claude Code

Add to ~/.claude.json or your project's .claude/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "createa": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@createa/meme-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CAM_API_KEY": "cam_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "createa": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@createa/meme-mcp"],
      "env": { "CAM_API_KEY": "cam_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" }
    }
  }
}

Cline / Continue

Same shape as the above — both speak standard stdio MCP.

Example prompts

Once installed, just ask your MCP client:

"Make me a meme about Monday morning meetings."

"Caption the Drake template — top: writing tests, bottom: writing the test that proves the bug exists."

"Generate an AI meme of a confused cat looking at deployment errors, top caption WORKS ON MY MACHINE, bottom MY MACHINE WAS LYING."

"Find me a meme template for celebrating shipping something."

"Use createa_meme_remix to take https://example.com/portrait.jpg and turn the person into a firefighter, keep their exact face, hair, and expression."

Tip: the remix tool's hidden trick

createa_meme_remix is shockingly good at character consistency — pass a reference photo + prompt and it preserves likeness while changing context. The key is describing what to preserve as well as what to change. Phrases like "keep his exact face, wavy blond hair, and proud expression" act as identity anchors. Useful for movie-character workflows, branded mascot edits, or stylized portraits.
