profilekit-mcp

MCP server for ProfileKit. Build GitHub profile SVG cards through conversation — from Claude Code, Codex CLI, ChatGPT Apps, or any other MCP-capable agent.

Currently implemented

• 3 tools over stdio MCP: list_cards, list_themes, render.

• Card types covering data (stats, pin, leetcode, …), blog layout (hero, section, timeline, …), animations (typing, snake, matrix, …), composition (stack), and utility (health) — exact set returned live by list_cards.

• Built-in themes (tokyo_night, kanagawa, rose_pine, dracula, nord, …) — pass ?theme=<name> to any card; exact set returned live by list_themes.

• Dynamic catalog sync from https://profilekit.vercel.app/api/catalog, cached per process; falls back to a bundled snapshot if the fetch fails.

• Custom palettes via ?theme_url=<gist-raw-url> (supported on /stats and /stack as of ProfileKit v1).

• Published as @heznpc/profilekit-mcp on npm.

Planned

• compose_readme(sections) tool — return a full blog-layout README snippet in one call.

• Palette suggestion tool backed by the caller's own vision/LLM capability — no built-in model calls.

Design intent

• URL-only, never inlines SVG. render returns a URL plus markdown / HTML snippets; the SVG is fetched by the eventual <img> consumer (GitHub, dev.to, Notion, …). Tool responses stay small, side-effect-free, and embeddable anywhere external images are allowed.

• One MCP server, three agents. After OpenAI and Anthropic co-announced MCP Apps in early 2026, a single stdio server covers Claude Code + Codex CLI + ChatGPT Apps natively — no per-platform adapter.

• Live catalog over hardcoded list. Card definitions live in ProfileKit's /api/catalog, so when ProfileKit ships a new card the MCP server picks it up without a republish. The bundled fallback exists only so cold/offline starts still work.

• No ranking, composable presentation. Mirrors ProfileKit's stance — every card is an independent SVG that the user composes, not a leaderboard.

Non-goals

• Inlining card SVG into tool responses. The MCP server intentionally does not fetch card content. Agents that need to reason over the markup can fetch the URL themselves.

• Built-in model calls. Future "suggest a palette" or "describe this card" features delegate to the calling agent's own LLM — this server never makes outbound LLM API calls.

• Ranking, leaderboards, or rendering opinions in the tool surface.

Install

npm install -g @heznpc/profilekit-mcp

Register with your agent

Claude Code — add to .claude/settings.json in your repo:

{
 "mcpServers": {
 "profilekit": { "command": "profilekit-mcp" }
 }
}

Codex CLI — add to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.profilekit]
command = "profilekit-mcp"

ChatGPT Apps — (Apps SDK MCP adapter; see the Apps SDK docs for wire-up)

Usage

Inside any registered agent, just ask:

> What ProfileKit cards exist?
> Render a tokyo_night stats card for heznpc.
> Give me a hero banner saying "heznpc" with subtitle "Building the ecosystem AI lives in", wave background, space-grotesk font.
> Build a kanagawa-themed pin card for heznpc/ProfileKit.

The agent will invoke list_cards / list_themes / render under the hood and hand you back a URL + markdown snippet ready to paste into your README.
