Image Generation MCP Server
The Image Generation MCP Server enables high-quality image generation using the Flux.1 Schnell model via Together AI. With this server, you can:
Generate images from text prompts
Customize dimensions (width and height)
Control the number of images (up to 4 per request)
Adjust inference steps
Choose response format (base64-encoded JSON or URL)
Optionally save generated images to disk in PNG format
Benefit from error handling for prompt validation and API issues
Easily integrate with MCP-compatible clients

Installation
npm install together-mcpOr run directly:
npx together-mcp@latestConfiguration
Add to your MCP server configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"together-image-gen": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["together-mcp@latest -y"],
"env": {
"TOGETHER_API_KEY": "<API KEY>"
}
}
}
}Usage
The server provides one tool: generate_image
Using generate_image
This tool has only one required parameter - the prompt. All other parameters are optional and use sensible defaults if not provided.
Parameters
{
// Required
prompt: string; // Text description of the image to generate
// Optional with defaults
model?: string; // Default: "black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell-Free"
width?: number; // Default: 1024 (min: 128, max: 2048)
height?: number; // Default: 768 (min: 128, max: 2048)
steps?: number; // Default: 1 (min: 1, max: 100)
n?: number; // Default: 1 (max: 4)
response_format?: string; // Default: "b64_json" (options: ["b64_json", "url"])
image_path?: string; // Optional: Path to save the generated image as PNG
}Minimal Request Example
Only the prompt is required:
{
"name": "generate_image",
"arguments": {
"prompt": "A serene mountain landscape at sunset"
}
}Full Request Example with Image Saving
Override any defaults and specify a path to save the image:
{
"name": "generate_image",
"arguments": {
"prompt": "A serene mountain landscape at sunset",
"width": 1024,
"height": 768,
"steps": 20,
"n": 1,
"response_format": "b64_json",
"model": "black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell-Free",
"image_path": "/path/to/save/image.png"
}
}Response Format
The response will be a JSON object containing:
{
"id": string, // Generation ID
"model": string, // Model used
"object": "list",
"data": [
{
"timings": {
"inference": number // Time taken for inference
},
"index": number, // Image index
"b64_json": string // Base64 encoded image data (if response_format is "b64_json")
// OR
"url": string // URL to generated image (if response_format is "url")
}
]
}If image_path was provided and the save was successful, the response will include confirmation of the save location.
Default Values
If not specified in the request, these defaults are used:
model: "black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell-Free"
width: 1024
height: 768
steps: 1
n: 1
response_format: "b64_json"
Important Notes
Only the
promptparameter is requiredAll optional parameters use defaults if not provided
When provided, parameters must meet their constraints (e.g., width/height ranges)
Base64 responses can be large - use URL format for larger images
When saving images, ensure the specified directory exists and is writable

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions the API provider but fails to describe critical behaviors like rate limits, authentication requirements, cost implications, error handling, or what happens when saving to 'image_path'. This leaves significant gaps for a tool with 8 parameters and no output schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise with a single sentence that directly states the tool's purpose. There is zero wasted language, and it's front-loaded with the core functionality, making it highly efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (8 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is insufficient. It doesn't explain return values, error cases, or behavioral nuances, leaving the agent with incomplete information for proper tool invocation in a real-world context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents all 8 parameters. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what's already in the schema, meeting the baseline score of 3 for high schema coverage without extra value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Generate an image') and the target resource ('using Together AI API'), providing a specific verb+resource combination. However, with no sibling tools mentioned, there's no explicit differentiation from alternatives, preventing a perfect score.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, prerequisites, or context for invocation. It simply states what the tool does without any usage instructions or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 1 tool
With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap between tools. The single tool has a clear and distinct purpose, making it impossible for an agent to misselect between multiple options.
Since there is only one tool, naming consistency is inherently perfect. The tool name 'generate_image' follows a clear verb_noun pattern, and there are no other tools to compare it against for inconsistency.
A single tool is too few for a server named 'Image Generation MCP Server', which suggests a broader scope. While the tool covers basic generation, the lack of additional tools (e.g., for editing, listing, or managing images) makes the surface feel thin and incomplete for the implied domain.
The server is severely incomplete for an image generation domain. It only provides a generate_image tool, with no coverage for related operations like listing generated images, editing parameters, deleting images, or handling variations. This creates significant gaps that will likely cause agent failures in broader workflows.
