Details
From the project READMEstockflow-mcp
Search & use 18,000+ royalty-free stock images and 4K videos from Stockflow.media inside your AI assistant — Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Codex CLI, Antigravity, or any MCP-compatible tool.
Building a presentation, video, website or mockup? Ask your assistant for "a calm ocean background" or "coffee shop b-roll" and it finds matching assets, embeds the watermarked previews (free for drafts), and gives you the link to license the full-resolution file (one-time, from $1, royalty-free forever).
No API key. The catalog is public.

Install
Claude Code (as a plugin — includes the skill)
/plugin marketplace add NmediaCloud/stockflow-mcp
/plugin install stockflow-assets@stockflow
Claude Code (MCP only)
claude mcp add stockflow -- npx -y stockflow-mcp
Cursor / Windsurf / Cline (mcp.json)
{ "mcpServers": { "stockflow": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "stockflow-mcp"] } } }
OpenCode (opencode.json)
{ "mcp": { "stockflow": { "type": "local", "command": ["npx", "-y", "stockflow-mcp"] } } }
OpenAI Codex CLI (~/.codex/config.toml)
[mcp_servers.stockflow]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "stockflow-mcp"]
Google Antigravity / Gemini CLI
Add an MCP server with command npx -y stockflow-mcp in the agent's MCP settings.
No MCP at all?
Any agent can use the public catalog directly — see llms.txt and the compact search index.
Skill only (no server)
Copy skills/stockflow-assets/ into ~/.claude/skills/ — it teaches the agent to
query the public catalog JSON with plain fetches.
Licensing
Previews are watermarked and free for drafts/mockups. Production use requires a
license bought on the asset's page (https://stockflow.media/gallery/a/<id>.html).

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.
