2D Assets MCP server

2d-assets-mcp

Design your game's feel before you design its art.

Just like wireframing helps designers visualize user flows before start sketching, 2d-assets-mcp helps game developers visualize timing, frames-per-second (FPS), collision boundaries, and UI layouts before spending hours on final artwork.

This MCP (Model Context Protocol) server lets any AI assistant (Antigravity, Claude Code, Codex, Devin, or any of them as long as it's MCP-compatible) generate advanced 2D mock/placeholder assets in PNG format right into your project folder. Save time and prototype faster, nail your game's feel with 2d-assets-mcp, and then replace the mockups with original artwork when you are ready.

This MCP is engine-agnostic and it works flawlessly with any game engine that supports PNG import, like:

• Godot
• Unity
• Unreal Engine
• GameMaker
• Construct
• RPG Maker
• And many more!

Save time and create placeholder health bars, spritesheets, and whatever UI elements you can think of with full support for gradients, patterns, transparency, text rotation, and auto-scaling, all via chat and without ever opening an image editor. The idea behind it is to help you test and iterate how your game feels first by prototiping scale, jump arcs, and animation timing without waiting on final art assets, and also with zero friction: Need that placeholder button to be 20% larger? Just ask your AI client to regenerate it.

[!TIP]

2d-assets-mcp has AI-Friendly Metadata → meaning each generated PNG embeds rich JSON metadata (dimensions, color, shape, gradient properties, pattern details, text properties, stroke properties, description) directly in its EXIF data, so AI models without vision can still understand what an asset contains.

Security Considerations

Asset Content

• Generated assets are pure placeholder graphics and they do not contain malicious code.
• Embedded metadata is plain JSON and is not executable.

Because this MCP server writes files directly to your machine to save you time, please review these security best practices:
