What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants use other apps. The Carousel Studio MCP server gives your assistant a few simple tools, so it can design carousels for you instead of just writing the copy.

  1. Step 1

    You ask in plain words

    "Make a 6-slide carousel from this blog post." Paste notes, links or files, just like any other chat.

  2. Step 2

    Your assistant calls Carousel Studio

    It writes the outline, then our design engine lays out every slide with your brand fonts, colors and logo.

  3. Step 3

    Slides come back in the chat

    Preview each slide, download the full-size PNGs, or ask for changes and make another version.

Things to try

Copy any of these into your assistant once Carousel Studio is connected.

  • Repurpose a blog post

    “Turn this blog post into a 6-slide LinkedIn carousel: https://myblog.com/pricing-mistakes”

    Your assistant reads the post, pulls out the key points and designs the slides.

  • Announce a promotion

    “Make a carousel for our spring sale: 20% off all services until April 30. Book through the link in bio.”

    A ready-to-post promo carousel in your brand style.

  • Teach from your notes

    “Here are my notes from today's workshop. Make a 5-slide carousel with the three biggest takeaways.”

    Messy notes become a clean educational carousel.

  • Ship release notes

    “Read CHANGELOG.md and make a carousel announcing this week's release for our customers.”

    In Cursor, VS Code or Claude Code, your assistant reads the repo and turns it into a launch post.

  • Plan a week of posts

    “Plan 3 Instagram posts about meal prep for busy parents and make a carousel for the first one.”

    Brainstorm with your assistant, then design the best idea without switching apps.

  • Check before you spend

    “What plan am I on, and how many credits will an 8-slide carousel with AI images cost?”

    Your plan, balance and the price of the carousel you have in mind.

Set it up in your app

Pick your AI app and follow the steps. You'll sign in to Carousel Studio once, and your assistant stays connected after that.

    Ask Claude for a carousel

    In a chat, open the + menu, check that Carousel Studio is turned on under Connectors, and describe the carousel you want.

Questions, answered
