English · 简体中文
Pinterest MCP is an open-source MCP Server that gives Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and any other MCP client direct access to Pinterest — search pins, actually look at the images, follow "more like this", read boards, and download originals. It's built for designers and front-end developers who start every task by collecting references.
No Pinterest login. No API key. No headless browser.
❌ Without Pinterest MCP
- You switch to the browser, search, scroll, save images by hand, and drag them back into the chat.
- The AI only gets the images you remembered to paste, without their source, colours or context.
✅ With Pinterest MCP
> Find 20 dark dashboard UIs on Pinterest, look at the first 8,
pick the 3 with the most restrained palette and download them.The agent searches, looks at the thumbnails, explains its picks, saves full-resolution files to disk — and can go straight on to build the screen from them.
Features
- ⚡ Fast — talks to the same JSON endpoints pinterest.com uses; ~2–3 s for 20 pins, no Chrome to launch.
- 👀 The model can see — optional thumbnails are returned as images, so the agent judges style, layout and colour, not just titles.
- 🧾 Rich metadata — title, description, full-size URL and dimensions (thumbnail-only pins flagged low_res), dominant colour, source site, board, creator, date. Ads are filtered out.
- 🔁 Go deeper — related pins, whole boards, pagination with bookmarks.
- 🛡️ Robust — keeps an anonymous session and retries Pinterest's occasional "fake end of feed".
- 🪶 Token-friendly — hashtag walls collapsed, unusable fields dropped.
- 🎬 Videos too — video pins come with an MP4 video_url; filter to videos only for motion references.
- 📥 Downloads — image originals with automatic 736px fallback and MP4 videos, only from *.pinimg.com.
Quick start
Requires Node.js ≥ 20.18.
