This MCP server provides an Unsplash-based data source for your MCP client workflow. It runs locally as a server process and accepts requests from your MCP client to fetch Unsplash content, enabling you to compose rich media experiences with dynamic imagery sourced from Unsplash.

How to use

Run the Unsplash MCP Server locally and connect your MCP client to it as a named server. You must provide your Unsplash access key to authorize requests. Once running, you can use the server to fetch images and metadata from Unsplash through your MCP client’s normal data-flow patterns.

To integrate with Cursor or any MCP client, register a server entry that points to the local server executable and includes the required environment variable. The server is identified by the name unsplash in your MCP configuration.

Example integration for your MCP client configuration includes the following setup. It specifies the server command path and the environment key you must provide. Replace <your_unsplash_access_key> with your actual key obtained from Unsplash.
