Provides capabilities for AI image generation through OpenAI's image inference APIs, allowing users to create images with customizable prompts, sizes, and styles.
Enables AI image generation by integrating with Replicate's image inference APIs, supporting various AI models for generating images in square, landscape, and portrait formats.

That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Image MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides AI image generation capabilities using the ai-image npm module, which wraps around OpenAI and Replicate image inference APIs.
Features
generate_ai_image: Generate AI images with customizable prompts, sizes, models, and styles
square_image: Generate square images (1024x1024) - shortcut command
landscape_image: Generate landscape images (1536x1024) - shortcut command
portrait_image: Generate portrait images (1024x1536) - shortcut command
Built on the ai-image module for seamless integration with OpenAI and Replicate APIs
Simple setup and configuration
Installation
Setup
Claude Desktop Configuration
Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file:
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Environment Variables
The server requires API keys for the underlying image generation services:
OPENAI_API_KEY: Your OpenAI API key for GPT-based models (we won't be supporting Dall-e models as they'll likely be dropped soon)REPLICATE_API_TOKEN: Your Replicate API token for other AI models
Usage
Once configured, you can use the image generation functions through Claude:
generate_ai_image
Generate AI images with various parameters:
prompt (required): Text description of the image to generate
size (optional): Image dimensions in WIDTHxHEIGHT format (default: "1024x1024")
model (optional): Specific AI model to use
output (optional): Custom output file path
Shortcut Commands
For convenience, use these preset size commands:
square_image: Generate 1024x1024 square images
landscape_image: Generate 1536x1024 landscape images
portrait_image: Generate 1024x1536 portrait images
All shortcut commands accept the same parameters as generate_ai_image except size (which is preset).
Example prompts:
"A red cat in Picasso style"
"A sunset over mountains, photorealistic"
"Abstract geometric patterns in blue and gold"
Development
Requirements
Node.js >= 18.0.0
Valid API keys for OpenAI and/or Replicate
TODOs
Urgent
Fix npm module issue: It only works locally...
Improvements
Better guides: Add more detailed setup guides with troubleshooting steps, an Add to cursor button, etc
Use ai-image library directly: Replace subprocess CLI calls with direct library imports
Return file paths: Return created image file paths in response
Local inference support: Add support for local models like Flux
Image optimization: Add lightweight image resizing and optimization options
Image captioning tool: Add captioning model for basic use cases (useful for models without vision)
