Connect Giphy to Claude & Any MCP Client

Free API key authentication. Search billions of GIFs. Works with all MCP clients.

Your API Key Stays Secure

MCP Hubby encrypts your Giphy API key with AES-256 encryption and only uses it to proxy requests when your AI assistant needs GIFs. We never see your search queries outside of proxy requests.

What we do: Store your encrypted API key and forward API requests.
What we don't do: Store your searches, log GIF URLs, or access your data beyond request proxying.
