Image Generation MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server implementation for generating images using Replicate's black-forest-labs/flux-schnell model.

Ideally to be used with Cursor's MCP feature, but can be used with any MCP client.

Features

  • Generate images from text prompts
  • Configurable image parameters (resolution, aspect ratio, quality)
  • Save generated images to specified directory
  • Full MCP protocol compliance
  • Error handling and validation

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 16+
  • Replicate API token
  • TypeScript SDK for MCP

Setup

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Install dependencies:
    npm install
  3. Add your Replicate API token directly in the code at src/imageService.ts by updating the apiToken constant:
    // No environment variables are used since they can't be easily set in cursor const apiToken = "your-replicate-api-token-here";

    Note: If using with Claude, you can create a .env file in the root directory and set your API token there:

    REPLICATE_API_TOKEN=your-replicate-api-token-here
    Then build the project:
    npm run build

Usage

To use with cursor:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Select Features
  3. Scroll down to "MCP Servers"
  4. Click "Add new MCP Server"
  5. Set Type to "Command"
  6. Set Command to: node ./path/to/dist/server.js

API Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
promptstringYes-Text prompt for image generation
output_dirstringYes-Server directory path to save generated images
go_fastbooleanNofalseEnable faster generation mode
megapixelsstringNo"1"Resolution quality ("1", "2", "4")
num_outputsnumberNo1Number of images to generate (1-4)
aspect_ratiostringNo"1:1"Aspect ratio ("1:1", "4:3", "16:9")
output_formatstringNo"webp"Image format ("webp", "png", "jpeg")
output_qualitynumberNo80Compression quality (1-100)
num_inference_stepsnumberNo4Number of denoising steps (4-20)

Example Request

{ "prompt": "black forest gateau cake spelling out 'FLUX SCHNELL'", "output_dir": "/var/output/images", "filename": "black_forest_cake", "output_format": "webp" "go_fast": true, "megapixels": "1", "num_outputs": 2, "aspect_ratio": "1:1" }

Example Response

{ "image_paths": [ "/var/output/images/output_0.webp", "/var/output/images/output_1.webp" ], "metadata": { "model": "black-forest-labs/flux-schnell", "inference_time_ms": 2847 } }

Error Handling

The server handles the following error types:

  • Validation errors (invalid parameters)
  • API errors (Replicate API issues)
  • Server errors (filesystem, permissions)
  • Unknown errors (unexpected issues)

Each error response includes:

  • Error code
  • Human-readable message
  • Detailed error information
