MCP support

The hosted MCP server exposes thumbnail creation and editing tools to compatible MCP clients. Clients connect to `https://api.thumblifyai.com/mcp` and can authenticate with OAuth or, where supported, a bearer API key.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

ThumblifyAI Plugin

An AI Thumbnail Maker for your AI agents.

Create, style-match, recreate, and refine YouTube thumbnails with ThumblifyAI's hosted MCP server.

ThumblifyAI is an AI Thumbnail Maker for creators. This repository packages its hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server as a portable Agent Plugin for compatible agent apps, including Cursor, Claude, and other MCP clients.

Tool availability, input requirements, and credit costs can change. Your connected agent discovers the current tool definitions from the MCP server.

Install in Cursor

After the repository is accepted into the Cursor Marketplace:

  1. Open Customize in Cursor and go to the plugin marketplace.
  2. Search for ThumblifyAI and select Install.
  3. When Cursor connects to the MCP server, choose OAuth and sign in to your ThumblifyAI account.
  4. Start a chat and ask Cursor to create, style-match, recreate, or edit a thumbnail with ThumblifyAI.

For local evaluation before marketplace listing, add the remote MCP server in Cursor's MCP settings using https://api.thumblifyai.com/mcp, then authenticate with OAuth when Cursor prompts you.

This plugin uses the portable Agent Plugins format, with plugin.json and mcp.json at the repository root. It does not need a .cursor-plugin/ directory.

OAuth and API key authentication

The hosted MCP endpoint is:

https://api.thumblifyai.com/mcp

OAuth is the recommended sign-in method for compatible MCP clients. It connects the client to your existing ThumblifyAI account; no API key needs to be copied into the plugin or committed to this repository. Some clients may offer different authentication flows. Where OAuth is unavailable, ThumblifyAI also supports bearer API key authentication if the client supports custom authorization headers.

Other compatible agent apps

Agent Plugin support varies by app. Apps that support the open Agent Plugins specification can use this portable package. Other MCP-compatible apps can connect directly to the endpoint above and use OAuth when offered by the client. See the ThumblifyAI MCP setup guide for client-specific instructions.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
