Uses Google's Gemini model to expand rough user ideas into detailed image prompts before image generation.
Generates images from text prompts using the Hugging Face Inference API, sending enhanced prompts to text-to-image models.
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., "@Imaginate generate an image of a steampunk octopus"
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.
Turn a rough idea into a generated image — a LangChain prompt-enhancement chain expands your casual description into a detailed image prompt, which is then sent to a text-to-image model. Also exposed as an MCP tool, so any MCP-compatible AI agent (e.g. Claude Desktop) can call it directly.

streamlit run app/streamlit_app.pypython src/mcp_server.pyTo connect this to Claude Desktop, add this to your Claude Desktop MCP config
(claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"imaginate": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/imaginate/src/mcp_server.py"]

}Restart Claude Desktop, and you'll be able to ask it to generate an image using
the imaginate tool directly.
