markly-mcp-server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Markly.cloud - add watermarks to images via AI agents.

Works out of the box without an API key (free tier with branding). Add an API key to remove branding and increase limits.

Tools

Tool	Description
markly_watermark_text	Add a text watermark to an image via URL
markly_watermark_logo	Add a logo watermark to an image via URL
markly_batch_watermark	Watermark up to 20 images, get a ZIP
markly_check_usage	Check API quota and usage stats (requires API key)

Quick start (no API key needed)

Add to your Claude Desktop config or Claude Code settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "markly": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "markly-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

That's it. Ask your AI agent:

"Add 'Copyright 2026' as a watermark to this image: https://example.com/photo.jpg"

With an API key (optional)

Get an API key at markly.cloud/developers to remove the "markly.cloud" branding and get higher rate limits.
