Overview
What is MCP Image Placeholder Server?
MCP Image Placeholder Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides a tool for generating placeholder image URLs from different providers. It supports two providers—placehold.co for simple placeholders and picsum.photos for real images—and is intended for developers who need quick placeholder images in their projects.
How to use MCP Image Placeholder Server?
Install Python 3.9+ and the uv package manager, then configure the server in claude_desktop_config.json or Cursor's MCP settings. The server exposes one tool, image_placeholder, which takes a provider (placehold or lorem-picsum), a width, and an optional height (both 1–10000) and returns an image URL.
