Cursor, VS Code & other clients

      "url": "https://app.designinstantly.com/api/mcp"

Secured by OAuth

You authorize access the first time a client connects — no API keys to copy or store. Tokens are managed for you and every action runs against your own account and active brand.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the Design Instantly MCP server?

It's a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes your Design Instantly account — products, creatives, and posting workflow — as tools any MCP-compatible AI assistant can use.

How does authentication work?

Authentication uses OAuth. The first time a client connects you'll be asked to sign in and authorize access — you never paste an API key, and tokens are managed for you.

Which clients are supported?

Any MCP client that accepts a remote server URL, including Claude (web and desktop), Cursor, and VS Code. Most clients just need the server URL; some connect through mcp-remote.

Is it free?

Connecting is included with your Design Instantly account. Generating creatives and scheduling posts use the same credits as the app.
