## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-28.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (picorn_editor_delete_slide).
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 63/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3499 tokens (~109/item across 32 items; 32 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 98/100
  - Stability check failed: schema churn in the 30 days we've observed: 0 tool removals, 1 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 2 additions.
- **Tool Coverage**: 70/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 11% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 92/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - 2 of 3 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "picorn_editor_ungroup_layers" implies "remove" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default.
  - An AI judge read all 33 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

### `picorn_design_image` (~96 tokens)

Picorn: render a Codex-authored finished design

CODEX-ONLY. The calling Codex supplies the complete SVG, including copy and layout. Picorn resolves declared placeholders and renders it through Fabric/SVG. No internal language or design model is called.

Input parameters:

- `height` (integer)
- `preview` (boolean): Return an inline preview. Default true.
- `svg` (string, required): Complete Codex-authored SVG with a viewBox.
- `width` (integer)

### `picorn_generate_image` (~75 tokens)

Generate a raw image with self-hosted Z-Image Turbo. Returns an inline preview and public creationUrl.

Input parameters:

- `aspectRatio` (string)

- `preview` (boolean)
- `prompt` (string, required)
- `seed` (integer)
- `width` (integer)

### `picorn_generate_vector_assets` (~155 tokens)

Picorn: generate native vector signets or icons

Use Picorn's native editor engine: first generate raster artwork with self-hosted Z-Image Turbo on ComfyUI, remove its background, then convert it through the bundled multi-colour SVG converter. Generates five variants, selects the strongest result and returns the top three. Signets also return one layered editor file that displays the three shortlisted SVGs inside the same native project. Use this tool for every newly generated signet and custom icon.

Input parameters:

- `kind` (string, required)
- `numColors` (integer)
- `palette` (array)
- `projectName` (string)
- `prompt` (string, required)

- `imageBase64` (string)
- `imageUrl` (string)
- `preview` (boolean)
- `prompt` (string, required)
- `seed` (integer)
- `steps` (integer)

### `picorn_render_svg` (~199 tokens)

Picorn: render an SVG design

Render your SVG through Picorn with real typography and declarative image workers. Put placeholder <rect> elements inside the SVG and choose their backend with data-clipart-engine="svg-converter" (fresh ComfyUI image, background removal, then Picorn PNG→SVG vectorisation), data-clipart-engine="z-image-turbo" (raster photo/cutout), or data-clipart-engine="library" (existing vector only). Include data-clipart-prompt; use data-clipart-num-colors="1..7" for svg-converter, and data-clipart-keep-bg="true" for a full scene. Picorn resolves all placeholders internally; never call the admin converter or return generated base64 yourself. Returns an inline preview and public creationUrl.

Input parameters:

- `height` (integer)
- `preview` (boolean)
- `svg` (string, required)
- `width` (integer)

### `picorn_editor_import_image` (~152 tokens)

Picorn Editor: import image asset

Import image bytes from any external or agent-native image generator into Picorn storage. Pass imageBase64 with or without a data: prefix, then use the returned imageUrl in one or more native image layers. This is the bridge for iterative generator → editor → render workflows.

Input parameters:

- `imageBase64` (string): Image bytes as base64, with or without a data:image/... prefix.
- `imageUrl` (string): An image URL on a Picorn-approved host.
- `name` (string): Asset name shown in the marketing project.

- `workspaceProjectId` (string)
- `workspaceProjectKey` (string)

### `picorn_editor_create_project` (~272 tokens)

Picorn Editor: create project

Create a persistent native Picorn editor project. For a finished static layout, pass svg: a complete SVG containing text/shapes plus declarative data-clipart placeholders. Picorn runs the selected engines in the background, stores the generated assets, converts the SVG into editable native layers, and returns a populated project in one call. Omit svg only when you intentionally want an empty slide for incremental layer operations. Returns projectId, slideId, exact canvas dimensions, and the canonical /studio/editor?runId=... editorUrl that must be included in the final answer.

Input parameters:

- `aspectRatio` (string)
- `background` (object): CanvasBackground: color, gradient, texture, or transparent.
- `height` (integer): Required only for custom canvases.
- `svg` (string): Complete SVG layout. Generated visuals are <rect data-clipart="true" data-clipart-engine="svg-converter|z-image-turbo|library" data-clipart-prompt="..." ... /> placeholders resolved internally.
- `title` (string)
- `width` (integer): Required only for custom canvases.
- `workspaceProjectId` (string): Marketing project that will contain this editor file.
- `workspaceProjectKey` (string): Access key returned by picorn_projects_create.

Picorn Editor: create complete agent slideshow

Create, persist and render a complete 1–20 slide Picorn file in one deterministic call from finished agent-authored SVG and/or native editable layers. The calling agent is the only design model: this path does not call /api/generate-svg, Gemini, OpenRouter, or another LLM. Work is bounded before persistence to 50,000,000 total canvas pixels and 1,000 total layers. Fair-use cost is one unit per four slides, rounded up.

## Common questions

### What is the Picorn MCP server?

Picorn is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.cueqzapper/picorn. Picorn turns AI briefs into editable social images and videos with layers, timelines, and renders. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://picorn.com/mcp).

### Is the Picorn MCP server safe to use?

Picorn scores 71 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Picorn MCP server expose?

Picorn exposes 32 tools: picorn_capabilities, picorn_projects_create, picorn_projects_inspect, picorn_projects_update, picorn_design_image, and 27 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 3,175 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Picorn MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Picorn without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the Picorn MCP server still maintained?

Picorn is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 28 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
