Questions

Zaps for agents

Turn someone's photos into finished social-media designs (stories, carousels, reel covers, invites) from any AI agent. Give it photos and a brief, and Zaps picks matching templates, places the photos and the words, and returns finished images with a link to keep editing each one in the Zaps editor.

No key, no signup to start. Searching and the first design are free with no account.
Signing in is a browser click. When a call needs an account, your client opens a Zaps sign-in page (OAuth). After that it stays signed in.
One hosted server: https://api.zaps.design/mcp (MCP, Streamable HTTP).

ChatGPT	Find Zaps in the ChatGPT plugin directory
Anything else	Add `https://api.zaps.design/mcp` as a remote (HTTP) MCP server

No install at all? One GET makes a design: https://api.zaps.design/make?brief=Birthday%20Party,%20Friends&photo=<public photo url>&text=Happy%20Birthday. In a browser, https://api.zaps.design/make is a form that takes photo files.
