Integration

Model Context Protocol

de-ASCII exposes tools, resources, and prompts so agents can reconstruct images from ASCII art directly. It speaks JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP at /api/mcp and is registered on the PlatPhorm MCP Hub.

Endpoint

https://deascii.platphormnews.com/api/mcp

Descriptor

https://deascii.platphormnews.com/.well-known/mcp.json

Client configuration

Add de-ASCII to any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.):

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "de-ascii": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://deascii.platphormnews.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Available tools

reconstruct_image

Reconstruct a bounded PNG image from arbitrary pasted ASCII, ANSI terminal art, Unicode Braille/block/box art, or ASCII converter output. Colored sources reconstruct to color; monochrome sources reconstruct to grayscale or deterministic colorization by glyph density. Hybrid/glyph modes preserve bitmap text, digits, Braille dots, box glyphs, and icon texture.

reconstruct_from_ascii_service

Call the trusted ASCII converter at ascii.platphormnews.com using JSON or NDJSON streaming transport, then reconstruct the resulting ASCII as a PNG image.

get_health

Health check with uptime, version, and service status.

get_info

Get info about de-ASCII — features, character sets, endpoints, and network links.

list_charsets

List all available character sets with descriptions.

subscribe_webhook

Register a webhook URL to receive event notifications (reconstruction, health events). Requires PLATPHORM_API_KEY.

list_webhooks

List currently registered webhooks.

register_site

Register this site with the central PlatPhorm MCP Hub. Requires PLATPHORM_API_KEY.
