Connect to your AI in seconds.

DummyImage lets you generate dynamic placeholder images instantly from text prompts for web development and design. You just describe what you need—a size, a color scheme, or some text overlay—and it returns the exact URL.

This means your AI agent acts like a rapid UI prototyper, filling layout gaps for mockups or prototypes without leaving your workflow.

What your AI can do

Generate image

Creates and returns the URL link for a placeholder image based on your requested dimensions, colors, and text.

Set custom dimensions

Generate images in specific sizes (e.g., 300x250) or use standard keywords like hd1080.

Control brand colors

Specify background and foreground hex codes so the placeholders match your UI theme.

Add descriptive text

Place custom labels or required text directly onto the placeholder image.

Select output format

Choose between common web formats, including PNG, JPG, JPEG, and GIF.

Define aspect ratios

Test responsive layouts by defining specific ratios like 16:9.

The Problem of Missing Visuals in Design Reviews

Today, when you're building out a new page layout, you hit those spots that need an image—a hero banner, a feature block, user avatars. What do you do? You stop coding or designing and switch tabs to find a filler asset. Then you manually adjust the size, change colors in a separate tool, and copy-paste it into your mockups.

With this MCP, that manual dance disappears. Just tell your agent what visual space needs filling—say, 'I need a 16:9 banner with blue backgrounds.' You get the exact URL immediately. Your AI acts as an instant asset library, keeping you right where you need to be.

DummyImage MCP Delivers Visual Assets Through `generate_image`

You no longer have to stop and search for external placeholder services or spend time manually creating colored boxes in your design software. You simply prompt the agent, giving it parameters like dimensions and hex codes.

The result is a fully formed URL ready to be used—whether you're dropping it into code or sharing it with a PM. It cuts out every step of asset sourcing.

What your AI can actually do with this

Stop wasting time looking up placeholder image services or manually creating empty colored boxes in Figma. With this MCP, you talk to your agent and it handles the visual assets. You can tell it to generate a specific size—like 16:9 for a hero banner—and specify colors that match your brand hex codes.

Need custom text on the image? Just ask. The tool even lets you pick formats like PNG or GIF, making sure the asset is ready for deployment right away. It’s basically an instant way to visualize content blocks and test layouts without ever having to load a real picture. When you connect this MCP through Vinkius, your agent becomes a powerful visual assistant built directly into your existing workflow.

Questions you might have

How do I use DummyImage MCP to generate a specific size image? +

You pass the dimensions directly in your prompt using generate_image. For example, asking for 'a 600x400 placeholder' will give you the correct URL immediately.

Can DummyImage MCP handle multiple image formats? +

Yes. You can request different formats like PNG or JPG by including the format in your prompt when using generate_image. This keeps your assets ready for various platforms.

What if I want to add text using DummyImage MCP? +

You specify the required text and its color directly in your request. The agent will use generate_image to overlay custom labels onto the placeholder, ensuring your headlines are visible.

Do I need a special key for DummyImage MCP? +

No. Since this is a public utility, you enter 'PUBLIC' in the token field when connecting the MCP to your agent client.

How does the generate_image tool handle defining aspect ratios? +

The generate_image tool accepts specific aspect ratio definitions, like 16:9. This lets you test how your content looks in responsive containers without needing to calculate exact dimensions.

Can I use the generate_image tool to control image colors? +

Yes, you can specify hex codes for both background and foreground colors. This ensures your generated mockups match your project's brand guidelines perfectly.

Does generate_image support standard size keywords besides specific pixel dimensions? +

Absolutely. In addition to providing exact measurements (e.g., 300x250), you can use common keywords like 'hd1080' or 'medrect' for quick, industry-standard placeholder sizes.

What is the best way to integrate generate_image into a development workflow? +

You should run the tool directly through your AI client. It generates image URLs you can immediately embed into your front end, cutting out the need for external placeholder services.

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

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

What image formats are supported by the generator? +

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

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).
