Perplexity

Build visual assets with this MCP Server

The `create_image` tool converts raw HTML and CSS into a rendered image file right from your Claude Desktop chat. You hand over the markup or a live URL, and the server returns the generated visual asset immediately. The `batch_create_images` tool handles up to 25 renders in a single payload. You avoid hitting the API one by one, saving time and keeping your chat history clean when processing multiple files.

Manage dynamic templates

The `create_template` tool stores your base CSS and HTML structures on the server. Claude can then call `create_image_from_template` to inject specific variables and generate personalized graphics on the fly. The `edit_template` tool updates the global styles when marketing changes brand colors. Every future image generated from that template automatically picks up the new visual rules.

Track usage and clean up

The `get_usage` tool checks your current account limits before you start a massive rendering job. Claude reads the remaining quota so you do not hit unexpected billing caps mid-run. The `list_images` tool finds outdated files on your account. You can then pass those IDs to `batch_delete_images` or `delete_image` to clear them out and free up space.
