image-ad-clone-arcads-mcp

image-ad-clone-arcads-mcp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from krusemediallc/cursor-ad-agent. It costs 104 tokens per session (2,459 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning an existing image advertisement into a reusable prompt template and validating it through Arcads, an image-generation service. It can analyze the source image and generate versions using supported Arcads backends.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze an ad, create prompts with replaceable fields, upload reference images, generate multiple versions, monitor their results, and save the template.
Why use it?
It helps test whether a reusable prompt keeps the source ad’s structure while allowing its content to change. The validation uses generated results instead of relying only on a written description.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

image-ad-clone-arcads-mcp scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 133 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

image-ad-clone (Arcads MCP)

Reverse-engineer an existing image ad the user provides into a reusable, parameterizable template (with {placeholders}), validated by generating it through the Arcads MCP server, then save it to the shared prompt library.

This is the MCP-native version of image-ad-clone. The teardown/templating brain is unchanged; only the validation round-trip swaps from REST to MCP — no .env, no generate_image.py, no presigned-upload scripts.

REST image-ad-clone step MCP replacement
curl auth / .env + generate_image.py validation arcads_generate_image_gpt or arcads_generate_image_nano_banana
(manual) describe the source ad your own image vision (Read the file) or arcads_analyze_media (Gemini)
presigned upload + PUT for product refs arcads_get_upload_url + PUT (explicit — see Uploading)
GET /v1/assets/{id} polling arcads_watch_asset (status and URL in one call)
N parallel POSTs nbGenerations (1–10) in a single call

Tools used (Arcads MCP)

Tool Role
arcads_analyze_media (Optional) Gemini teardown of the source ad — layout, text, hierarchy, palette, style. Returns data.generatedText.
arcads_generate_image_gpt Validate the template on gpt-image-2 (typography / UI-mimicry ads).
arcads_generate_image_nano_banana Validate the template on nano-banana-2 (photoreal / lifestyle / multi-ref ads).
arcads_get_upload_url Presigned S3 URL for the source ad (if analyzing via MCP) and any product reference.
arcads_watch_asset Poll status and fetch the signed downloadUrl. Primary poll tool.
