How to Use the HTMLCSSToImage MCP in VS Code Copilot

Have the agent call the getusage tool before running large batch jobs. It reports your exact credit balance so you know what you can spend.

Test layouts with VS Code Copilot

The `create_image` tool converts HTML strings into rendered images directly from your editor via MCP. Copilot reads your active workspace files and generates the exact visual representation of your markup. The `create_image_from_template` tool populates existing layouts with test data. Copilot injects your local JSON variables into the remote structure to verify the final output.

Manage remote templates via this MCP Server

The `create_template` tool saves your standardized email or social card layouts to the remote service. Copilot then runs tools to populate those layouts with test data. The `edit_template` tool modifies the base CSS of your saved assets. Your team updates the core design once, ensuring every developer generates images with the new brand guidelines.

Handle bulk creation and cleanup

The `batch_create_images` tool fires off up to 25 renders in a single command. You can generate an entire folder of test assets in seconds instead of waiting for sequential API responses. The `list_images` tool locates old test renders sitting in your account. Copilot reads this list so you can pass the IDs to the deletion tools and permanently remove them.
