Common questions
Is SpriteCook safe?
It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
You need to fill in: Authorization
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 3 months ago, and the latest version (0.2.17) reached the registry 4 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.
What can I use instead?

spritecook-mcp
Connect your AI agent (Cursor, VS Code, Claude, Codex, Grok Build, and others) to SpriteCook for AI-powered pixel art and game asset generation.
Quick Setup
npx spritecook-mcp setup
This will:
- Detect your installed AI clients, including Grok Build
- Authenticate with an API key where required; Grok Build uses host-managed OAuth
- Configure MCP connections automatically
- Install an optional agent skill for smarter AI integration
The optional skills include current guidance for asynchronous job polling, canonical sprite_url output, model discovery, GPT-Image-2 quality settings, guided character workflows, saved presets, multi-image style guide references, local-file uploads, background cleanup, asset organization and recovery, and Godot-ready character exports.
What You Get
After setup, your AI agent can generate pixel art and game assets directly:
"Generate a 64x64 pixel art sword sprite"
"Create a character sprite sheet for my platformer game"
"Make a set of potion icons with transparent backgrounds"
"Use my character preset for a new idle sprite"
"Import this local boss PNG, then animate it with a slow idle motion"
"Remove the background from this character asset and give me the transparent PNG"
"Rename the generated sword asset to Iron Sword Pickup"
Manual Configuration
If you prefer to configure manually, add this to your editor's MCP config:
Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": { "spritecook": { "url": "https://api.spritecook.ai/mcp/", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }
VS Code (.vscode/settings.json):
{
"mcp": { "servers": { "spritecook": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.spritecook.ai/mcp/", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } } } } }
Grok Build (.grok/config.toml or ~/.grok/config.toml):
[mcp_servers.spritecook]
url = "https://api.spritecook.ai/mcp/oauth" enabled = true tool_timeout_sec = 6000
Open /mcps in Grok Build and authenticate spritecook. Grok stores and refreshes OAuth credentials without exposing them to the model. If tools do not appear, run grok mcp doctor spritecook and grok inspect.
The repository also includes a root .mcp.json for a Grok Build marketplace submission. Publishing the marketplace listing is a separate release step.
