Overview

MCP-image-gen is an image generation server that connects to the Replicate API to create images based on user-defined prompts. It allows users to generate, save, and manage images efficiently.

To use MCP-image-gen, set up the server by cloning the repository, installing dependencies, and configuring your Replicate API token. Once running, you can generate images using descriptive prompts and save them for later access.

  • Generates images using the Stable Diffusion model via the Replicate API. - Allows saving of generated images with unique identifiers. - Lists all saved images along with their metadata and thumbnails.
  1. Creating custom artwork based on user prompts.
  2. Generating images for use in applications or websites.
  3. Experimenting with different styles of image generation (realistic, artistic, abstract).

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-image-gen-rmcendarfer2017": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-image-gen-rmcendarfer2017"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-image-gen-rmcendarfer2017": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-image-gen-rmcendarfer2017"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-image-gen-rmcendarfer2017": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-image-gen-rmcendarfer2017"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-image-gen-rmcendarfer2017": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-image-gen-rmcendarfer2017"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-image-gen-rmcendarfer2017": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-image-gen-rmcendarfer2017"
      ]
    }
  }
}
