# mcp-asset-gen
[](https://badge.fury.io/js/mcp-asset-gen)
This tool allows Claude to speak to OpenAI, and use `gpt-image-1` to generate image assets. This can be pretty useful for game or web development, when you need to print individual assets.
# Requirements
- Node
- An OpenAI [API Key](https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/api-keys)
- Note that this requires an organization, with ID verification at the moment.
# Installation
1. Get an API KEY from the [OpenAI website](https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/api-keys).
2. Export it in your shell as API_KEY.
```bash
export API_KEY=sk-proj-....
```
3. Then, paste this into that same shell:
```bash
jq --arg apiKey "$API_KEY" \
'.mcpServers = (.mcpServers // {}) |
.mcpServers["mcp-asset-gen"] = {
type: "stdio",
command: "npx",
args: ["mcp-asset-gen"],
env: { API_KEY: $apiKey }
}' ~/.claude.json > ~/.claude.tmp && mv ~/.claude.tmp ~/.claude.json
```
4. You're done! Ask Claude to generate you an image for something, and you'll see
```
> generate a small logo image that i could use for my arcade game
I'll generate a logo for your arcade game. Please provide a more specific description of what you'd like to see in the logo (colors, style,
game theme, etc.) for better results.
> It should look like an old school pacman machine (liek a wooden arcade machine)
