Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@invokeai-mcp Generate a photorealistic portrait of an astronaut riding a horse on Mars"
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.
A bridge between AI coding agents (Claude, Cursor, opencode) and your local InvokeAI creative engine - text-to-image, image-to-image, masked inpaint, and upscaling on your own GPU, plus full queue, model, gallery, board, and workflow management, with a polished dark webapp.
This repo wraps InvokeAI, the open-source professional Stable Diffusion /
Flux creative engine (Apache-2.0, 27k+ stars). InvokeAI runs as a local web
server (default http://127.0.0.1:9090) and is installed separately through
its launcher - it is never bundled here. See docs/WRAPPEE.md.

How it runs: headless bridge - this MCP server talks to your running InvokeAI instance over its REST API. InvokeAI must be installed and running (launcher install, model download, first run). Nothing is bundled.
