• GHCARD_API_KEY secret env

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• create_card

  Create (or reuse) a published card image for a GitHub profile or repository. Returns svg/png URLs and markdown/html embed snippets. Idempotent; counts once against the daily quota.

• validate_card

  Dry run of create_card with the same inputs: checks template/palette ids, Pro features and the design document, without creating anything or using quota. warnings lists layers that reach outside the artboard (they would be clipped); fix those before create_card.

• list_templates

  List card layouts with their ids, scope (profile/repo/all), size, widget types, and whether they need Pro.

• list_palettes

  List background palette ids accepted by create_card.

• list_components

  List the widget (layer) types a design can contain, with the scope (profile/repo) each fits.

• get_template_design

  Return a template's layout as an editable design document (artboard + layers). Costs no quota. Edit it and pass it to create_card as design.

• get_card_design

  Return the design document of one of the account's cards, to edit and re-submit through create_card as design (which creates a new card; the original is unchanged).

• list_cards

  List cards this account created through the API, most recently requested first. Paginated with nextCursor.

• delete_card

  Permanently delete one of the account's cards. Its links stop working everywhere they are embedded. Confirm with the user first.

• get_usage

  Show the account's plan (free/pro) and how many cards it can still create today (cards.remaining, resets 00:00 UTC). The ai quota is reserved for future AI tools.
