Koskamo

ascii-art-mcp

An MCP server built with Node.js and TypeScript that exposes tools for retrieving ASCII and Unicode art from a local database. It communicates using stdio transport, making it compatible with MCP clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, LM Studio, and Open WebUI. The server loads data from a local db.json file and provides tools to search, retrieve, and list art entries.
