This provides a rich way for agents to express humor, reactions, or find relevant visual context.\n\n![Magic Documentation Book](https://media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWNmMTczNWU2MzZjaTI5ODVvMnc5cDdpYTZ1emd0OTA2em4xb2N0bG5rNzVkNHc5NSZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/Jls16O6RdqyxueMvBj/giphy.gif)\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n- Python 3.10+\n- A Giphy API Key. You can get a free API key at the [Giphy Developer Portal](https://developers.giphy.com/).\n\n## Installation\n\nFor general use, install the package via pip:\n```bash\npip install giphy-mcp\n```\n\nFor development:\n1. Clone the repository:\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/Szatek/giphy-mcp-server.git\n   cd giphy-mcp-server\n   ```\n2. Create a virtual environment and install in editable mode:\n   ```bash\n   python -m venv venv\n   # On Windows\n   .\\venv\\Scripts\\activate\n   # On Linux/macOS\n   source venv/bin/activate\n   \n   pip install -e \".[dev]\"\n   ```\n\n## Usage\n\nThe Giphy MCP Server is designed to be run as a standard IO transport process, which AI agents and MCP clients can spawn.\n\nTo start the server:\n```bash\ngiphy-mcp run\n```\n\nTo see the help menu and configuration options:\n```bash\ngiphy-mcp help\n```\n\n## Configuration\n\nThe server requires a Giphy API Key to function. It reads this from the `GIPHY_API_KEY` environment variable. \n\nYou can configure this by:\n1. Creating a `.env` file in the project root:\n   ```env\n   GIPHY_API_KEY=your_api_key_here\n   ```\n2. Or by passing it directly via your MCP client's configuration.\n\n## Available Tools\n\n- `search_gifs`\n  - **Description**: Search for GIFs using the Giphy API.\n  - **Parameters**: \n    - `query` (stri…","publisher":null,"homepage":"https://github.com/Szatek/giphy-mcp-server","repository":"https://github.com/Szatek/giphy-mcp-server","version":"2.0.0","license":"MIT","protocols":["mcp"],"tags":["gif","agents","ai","chat","gifs","giphy","mcp","modelcontextprotocol"],"pricing":null,"endpoints":[{"url":"pypi:giphy-mcp","type":"package_pypi","auth":null,"probeable":false}],"skills":null,"tools":null,"extra":null,"attribution":{"kind":"pypi","name":"pypi","license":"pypi","repoUrl":"pypi","summary":"pypi","version":"pypi","description":"pypi","homepageUrl":"pypi"}},"derived":{"capabilities":[{"slug":"dev.version-control","name":"Version Control","confidence":1,"provenance":"derived"},{"slug":"communication.chat","name":"Team Chat","confidence":1,"provenance":"declared"},{"slug":"dev.package-management","name":"Packages & Dependencies","confidence":0.768,"provenance":"derived"},{"slug":"dev.ci-cd","name":"CI/CD & Deploy","confidence":0.688,"provenance":"derived"}],"categories":["communication","dev"],"language":"en"},"observed":{"status":"unknown","statusReason":"Distributed as a package to run locally; no network endpoint to check.","lastOkAt":null,"lastProbedAt":null,"statusComputedAt":null,"reliability30d":null,"latestObservations":[],"tools":null,"package":{"name":"giphy-mcp","registry":"pypi","observedAt":"2026-11-03T03:26:57.787Z","publishedAt":"2026-02-28T19:05:38.907716Z","latestVersion":"2.0.0"},"toolSurface":null,"endpointFacts":[]},"verification":{"claimed":false,"claimedAt":null,"proofs":[]},"provenance":{"sources":[{"source":"pypi","key":"giphy-mcp","url":"https://pypi.org/project/giphy-mcp/","firstSeenAt":"2026-09-09T16:23:52.719Z","fetchedAt":"2026-11-03T03:26:17.344Z","normalizedAt":"2026-11-03T03:26:17.344Z"}]},"firstSeenAt":"2026-09-09T16:23:52.719Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-03T03:26:57.787Z"}
