Together AI Image Server
The Together AI Image Server allows you to generate images from text prompts using Together AI's API. With this server, you can:
Generate Images: Create images based on text descriptions
Control Output: Specify the number of images (1-4) and diffusion steps (1-4)
Receive Results: Get URLs and local paths to the generated images
Integration: Works as an MCP server, compatible with MCP-compatible assistants like Claude Desktop
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., "@Together AI Image Servergenerate an image of a futuristic city at sunset with flying cars"
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.
Together AI Image Server
English | 简体中文
A TypeScript-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for generating images using Together AI API.
Overview
This server provides a simple interface to generate images using Together AI's image generation models through the MCP protocol. It allows Claude and other MCP-compatible assistants to generate images based on text prompts.

Features
Tools
generate_image- Generate images from text promptsTakes a text prompt as required parameter
Optional parameters for controlling generation steps and number of images
Returns URLs and local paths to generated images
Prerequisites
Node.js (v14 or later recommended)
Together AI API key
Installation
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/zym9863/together-ai-image-server.git
cd together-ai-image-server
# Install dependencies
npm installConfiguration
Set your Together AI API key as an environment variable:
# On Linux/macOS
export TOGETHER_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
# On Windows (Command Prompt)
set TOGETHER_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
# On Windows (PowerShell)
$env:TOGETHER_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"Alternatively, you can create a .env file in the project root:
TOGETHER_API_KEY=your-api-key-hereDevelopment
Build the server:
npm run buildFor development with auto-rebuild:
npm run watchUsage with Claude Desktop
To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:
On macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"Together AI Image Server": {
"command": "/path/to/together-ai-image-server/build/index.js"
}
}
}Replace /path/to/together-ai-image-server with the actual path to your installation.
Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:
npm run inspectorThe Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only mentions the external API but does not disclose any behavioral traits such as rate limits, authentication needs, what happens under the hood, or potential side effects like image generation limits or API costs.
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 a single sentence that is concise and front-loaded with the core action. However, it is too short to cover necessary details, but for what it states, it is 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 absence of an output schema and annotations, the description is incomplete. It provides no information about what the tool returns (e.g., image URLs or base64), any limitations, or error conditions. The user would need to guess or rely on external knowledge.
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?
All three parameters have descriptions in the input schema (100% coverage). The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, which already explains 'prompt', 'n', and 'steps'. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
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 tool's purpose: generating an image from a text prompt using the Together AI API. The verb 'generate' and resource 'image' are specific, and mentioning the API adds context. No siblings exist, so differentiation is not needed.
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?
No guidance is provided on when to use or avoid this tool. There is no mention of prerequisites, alternatives, or when not to use it. The description simply states what it does without contextual usage advice.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
TDQS
With only one tool, there is no possibility of confusion between tools. The tool's purpose is clearly defined.
The single tool 'generate_image' follows a clear verb_noun pattern, which is consistent by default.
The server has only one tool, which is too few for a typical image generation service. Users would likely expect additional tools for model selection, image variants, or status retrieval.
The tool surface is severely incomplete; a comprehensive image generation server would typically include tools for listing models, configuring generation parameters, and possibly managing generated images.
