ASCII Art is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server designed to deliver a rich collection of ASCII and Unicode art directly from a local JSON database. Built with Node.js and TypeScript, this server integrates seamlessly with MCP-compatible AI clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and LM Studio using stdio transport. It offers a suite of structured tools, enabling users to retrieve specific art by name or alias, search by category or tags, get a random piece, or list available categories, all without needing API keys.
