Summary
Connects Claude to the Markly.cloud API for adding text or logo watermarks to images. You get four tools: single text watermark, single logo watermark, batch processing up to 20 images with ZIP output, and usage checking. Works immediately without an API key on a free tier that adds Markly branding, or bring your own key to remove branding and bump rate limits from 5 to 60+ requests per minute depending on your plan. Useful when you need to programmatically brand image assets, protect photos in bulk, or let an agent handle watermarking workflows without manual uploads.
Keeps your Mac awake while Claude Code, Codex or Cursor works. Lets it sleep when they are done.
