System Updates

• Published on npm: Install instantly with npx markdowntoimage-mcp — zero configuration, just add your API token.
• Two Tools Available:
  • generate_image — Convert Markdown to PNG/JPEG/WebP with full parameter support (themes, code styles, fonts, width, quality).
  • get_usage — Check your monthly API quota and credit balance.
• Rich Parameter Descriptions: The tool schema includes all available theme, code style, and font options, helping AI models select the best settings automatically.
• Stdio Transport: Works out of the box with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients via standard I/O.

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "markdowntoimage": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "markdowntoimage-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MTI_API_TOKEN": "mti_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then just ask Claude: "Convert this markdown to an image" — it handles the rest.
