Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 1 capability

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

DummyImage works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put DummyImage to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 1 capability arrives ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of DummyImage, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with DummyImage. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions DummyImage owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I use this MCP with Claude?

    You connect to the DummyImage MCP through the Vinkius platform and then simply ask Claude to generate an image using natural language.

  • 02

    Do I need to pay for a token?

    No, because this is a public service, you just enter 'PUBLIC' in the token field during setup.

  • 03

    Can I use specific brand colors?

    Yes, you can provide hex codes for both the background and foreground to match your project's theme.

  • 04

    What image formats are supported?

    The MCP can generate images in PNG, JPG, JPEG, and GIF formats.

  • 05

    Can I set custom text on the images?

    Yes, you can tell your agent what text you want to appear on the placeholder image.

  • 06

    Can I specify custom text to appear on the generated image?

    Yes! Use the text parameter in the generate_image capability to define any string you want to display in the center of the placeholder.

  • 07

    What image formats are supported by the generator?

    The generate_image capability supports gif, jpg, jpeg, and png formats. You can specify your preference using the format parameter.

  • 08

    Do I need to include the '#' symbol for hex colors?

    No. When using background_color or foreground_color, provide the hex code directly without the hash (e.g., '000000' for black or 'fff' for white).
