artscii is an MCP server for ASCII art generation, search, and manipulation. Here's what you can do:

• Search & Browse: Search ASCII art and kaomoji by keyword, type (art, kaomoji, all), or category; list all available arts with metadata; or browse available categories

• Get Art: Retrieve a specific ASCII art piece by ID, or get a random one

• Kaomoji: Fetch Japanese text emoticons by emotion, keyword, or category (e.g. happy, sad, animals, table-flip), or get a random one

• Banners: Render text as large ASCII art banners using FIGlet fonts (Standard, Small, Slant, Big, Mini)

• Image Conversion: Convert images (via URL or base64) to ASCII art with options for size, invert, contrast, and gamma correction; optionally save the result as a new art entry

• Submit Custom Art: Add new user-defined ASCII art to the store with name, category, tags, content, size tier, and description

• Delete Art: Remove previously submitted (user-created) ASCII art by ID (built-in arts are protected)
