What your AI can do with Backgrounds
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “list_backgrounds”: Browse the catalog of background structures. Optionally filter by a free-text query, tag or mood word. Returns name, one-line summary, mood,.”
“Use “suggest_backgrounds”: Rank structures for a natural-language brief ("dark aurora glow for an AI landing page"). Returns why each matched, matching built-in palett.”
“Use “describe_background”: Full style card for one structure: what it looks like, mood, where text can go, tips, and every parameter it honours with ranges, defaults a.”
“Use “list_palettes”: Built-in curated colour palettes with their hex colours and derived mood tags (dark, pastel, vivid, warm, cool…). Pass the id as palette.pal.”
How secure is the Backgrounds MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Backgrounds holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by Backgrounds (creatica.app) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If Backgrounds adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Connected in three steps
Connect your gate
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Pick Backgrounds
Choose Backgrounds in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
Use it anywhere
Backgrounds's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

list_palettes — Built-in curated colour palettes with their hex colours and derived mood tags (dark, pastel, vivid, warm, cool…). Pass the id as palette.pal
list_brand_kits — Saved brand palettes on this account. Pass a kit's slug as `brand` to generate_background to render on-brand without repeating hex colours.
generate_background — Render a background as SVG or PNG. Deterministic: the same structure, options and seed always give the same image, so store the returned see
Who runs the Backgrounds MCP server?
The Backgrounds MCP server at a glance
https://api.creatica.app/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official Backgrounds MCP server?
Yes — Backgrounds operates its own remote MCP server at api.creatica.app. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
How do I connect Backgrounds to Claude or ChatGPT?
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Backgrounds in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Backgrounds's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
Do I need to host anything?
No. Backgrounds runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
Is the Backgrounds MCP server safe to connect?
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Is it free?
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Backgrounds in minutes. No credit card required.
