Markly is a MCP server that adds text or logo watermarks to images—including batch jobs—via the Markly.cloud API.

About

Markly MCP wraps the Markly.cloud image watermarking API so your coding agent can stamp text or logo marks onto one or many images as part of content and distribution workflows. Developers reuse the same screenshots and marketing art across newsletters, social posts, and landing updates; doing watermarks manually breaks flow when you are already delegating copy and deploy steps to an agent. This server installs as an npm stdio MCP package and accepts an optional API key—the docs note you can start on a free tier that includes provider branding if you skip the key. It maps cleanly to content work rather than core product build, though you might also watermark prototype demos before wider sharing. Version 1.2.0 is published in the server manifest with environment variable MARKLY_API_KEY documented as optional.

  • Text and logo watermarks via Markly.cloud API through stdio npm package markly-mcp-server v1.2.0
  • Batch image processing supported for content workflows
  • Optional MARKLY_API_KEY; free tier runs with Markly branding when no key is set
  • stdio transport for local MCP clients (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf)
  • Repository: Whitemarmot/markly-mcp-server on GitHub

What it does

Watermark screenshots, hero images, and social assets in batch from your agent using the Markly.cloud API without opening a desktop editor.

Who is it for?

Skip if: Skip if you need full creative suites, vector brand systems, or on-device offline image pipelines with no cloud API.

What you get

Your agent can watermark single files or batches through MCP so shared visuals carry text or logo protection with minimal manual design work.

  • Batch-processed asset sets ready for distribution

By the numbers

  • Server package version 1.2.0
