In this paper we introduce a new public Einstein-Boltzmann solver, \texttt{MGCLASS II}, built as a modification to the publicly available \texttt{CLASS} code, that allows to obtain cosmological observables for Modified Gravity theories. It implements several commonly used parameterizations of deviations from General Relativity, computing their impact on the growth of structure as well as on the background evolution of the Universe, together with a subset of available alternative theories, still not completely ruled out by observations. \texttt{MGCLASS II} is built in such a way to be compatible with parameter estimation codes such as \texttt{MontePython} and \texttt{Cobaya}. We exploit this possibility to constrain the parameterizations used by the Planck collaboration, in order to validate the predictions of this new code, and a newly implemented parameterization (z\_flex) which has different features. For the former we find good agreement with the results existing in the literature, while we present original constraints on the parameters of the latter, finding no significant deviation from the standard cosmological model, ΛCDM.
