Common questions

Is Pinterest MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.0) reached the registry 17 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

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.

Claude Code

claude mcp add pinterest --scope user -- npx -y @sunkimkk/pinterest-mcp

Codex — ~/.codex/config.toml

[mcp_servers.pinterest]

command = "npx" args = ["-y", "@sunkimkk/pinterest-mcp"]

</details>

Claude Desktop — one-click install

Download pinterest-mcp.mcpb from the latest release and double-click it. Claude Desktop shows an install dialog where you can pick a download folder and an optional proxy.

Cursor / Claude Desktop / Windsurf / others — JSON config

"mcpServers": { "pinterest": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@sunkimkk/pinterest-mcp"] } } }

Cursor: ~/.cursor/mcp.json · Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json

From source

git clone https://github.com/sunkimk/pinterest-mcp.git

cd pinterest-mcp && npm install claude mcp add pinterest --scope user -- node "$PWD/src/server.js"

</details>

Tools

Tool	What it does
`pinterest_search`	Keyword search in any language, with pagination and optional thumbnails
`pinterest_get_pin`	Full details of one pin (pin URL, `pin.it` short link or numeric id)
`pinterest_related_pins`	"More like this" for a pin
`pinterest_board_pins`	Pins saved on a public board
`pinterest_preview_images`	Turn image URLs into thumbnails the model can see
`pinterest_download`	Save full-resolution images and MP4 videos to disk

search, related_pins and board_pins accept previews: N to attach thumbnails of the first N results, and media: "video" to return only video pins (each with an MP4 video_url) — handy for motion and interaction references.

Example prompts

*"Search Pinterest for glassmorphism login screens and show me 8 thumbnails."*
*"What do these have in common — layout, palette, typography?"*
*"Find pins similar to https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1128714725389331478/"*
*"List everything on https://www.pinterest.com/awsmd_com/app-design/"*
*"Find 10 profile page animation videos and download them."*
*"Download #2, #5 and #7 to ~/Desktop/refs/login."*

Tip: English keywords return far more results. Add words like ui, app, dribbble, poster or moodboard to steer the style.

Configuration

Variable	Default	Description
`MCP_PINTEREST_DOWNLOAD_DIR`	`~/Downloads/pinterest-mcp`	Download root
`MCP_PINTEREST_PROXY`	system `HTTPS_PROXY`	HTTP proxy, e.g. `http://127.0.0.1:7890` (SOCKS not supported)
`MCP_PINTEREST_LOCALE`	`en-US`	Request language
`MCP_PINTEREST_TIMEOUT_MS`	`20000`	Per-request timeout

Example with Claude Code:

claude mcp add pinterest --scope user -e MCP_PINTEREST_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7890 -- npx -y @sunkimkk/pinterest-mcp

FAQ

Why can't I get details for a search result? Logged-out search results carry anonymous ids that Pinterest won't resolve. Everything they have is already in the search result; get_pin and related_pins need a real pin link (pinterest.com/pin/ /).

Network errors? If pinterest.com is blocked where you are, set MCP_PINTEREST_PROXY.

Will it break? It uses Pinterest's web endpoints rather than the official API, so a Pinterest redesign may require an update. Watch the repo or check the changelog.

Development

npm install

npm test # spins up the server and calls every tool against live pinterest.com
