Overview

This MCP server provides a robust interface between AI models and the Giphy API, enabling AI systems to incorporate GIF content into their responses. The server implements three key tools: search_gifs for query-based retrieval, get_random_gif for random content, and get_trending_gifs to access popular content. Each response includes comprehensive metadata optimized for AI consumption, with support for content filtering, pagination, and multiple response formats.
