The AltTextLab MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your AltTextLab account. It provides structured and secure access to image alt text generation and account credit information, so your agent can generate accessible descriptions, tailor writing style and language, include SEO context, and check generation credits on your behalf.

• Accessible image descriptions: Have your agent generate clear alt text for any image available at a public URL.
• Language and style guidance: Let the agent tailor each description to your preferred language and writing style.
• SEO-aware alt text: Direct your agent to incorporate relevant SEO keywords while keeping image descriptions useful and accessible.
• Product and page context: Instruct your agent to use product details and page context to create more relevant alt text.
• Account credit checks: Have your agent review your plan, activation status, and remaining generation credits before processing images.
