This method runs the server directly from npm without needing local files:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"image-gen": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@gongrzhe/image-gen-server"],
"env": {
"REPLICATE_API_TOKEN": "your-replicate-api-token",
"MODEL": "alternative-model-name"
},
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}
}
```
#### Option 2: Local Installation Configuration

```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"image-gen": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/image-gen-server/build/index.js"],
"env": {
"REPLICATE_API_TOKEN": "your-replicate-api-token",
"MODEL": "alternative-model-name"
},
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}
}
```
