Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http githubcard https://githubcard.com/mcp

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other apps

Add it as a custom connector with this URL (Streamable HTTP):

https://githubcard.com/mcp

This server expects extra headers, usually an API key from its maker.

Or run it locally (npm)

claude mcp add githubcard -- npx -y @ghcardhq/ghcard@0.2.0

Cursor, VS Code and other apps (mcp.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "githubcard": {
      "url": "https://githubcard.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Tools it offers

10 tools, as the server itself reported during our check on Oct 31, 2026.

  • create_cardCreate (or reuse) a published card image for a GitHub profile or repository. Returns svg/png URLs and markdown/html embed snippets. Idempotent; counts once against the daily quota.
  • validate_cardDry run of create_card with the same inputs: checks template/palette ids, Pro features and the design document, without creating anything or using quota. warnings lists layers that reach outside the artboard (they would
  • list_templatesList card layouts with their ids, scope (profile/repo/all), size, widget types, and whether they need Pro.
  • list_palettesList background palette ids accepted by create_card.
  • list_componentsList the widget (layer) types a design can contain, with the scope (profile/repo) each fits.
  • get_template_designReturn a template's layout as an editable design document (artboard + layers). Costs no quota. Edit it and pass it to create_card as design.
  • get_card_designReturn the design document of one of the account's cards, to edit and re-submit through create_card as design (which creates a new card; the original is unchanged).
  • list_cardsList cards this account created through the API, most recently requested first. Paginated with nextCursor.
  • delete_cardPermanently delete one of the account's cards. Its links stop working everywhere they are embedded. Confirm with the user first.
  • get_usageShow the account's plan (free/pro) and how many cards it can still create today (cards.remaining, resets 00:00 UTC). The ai quota is reserved for future AI tools.
