Restart and Test

Restart Roo Code to apply changes, then ask the AI to generate an image to test the integration.

🎨 Usage Example

Once connected, just ask Roo Code to generate images

You:

"Generate an image of a futuristic city at sunset with flying cars"

Roo Code (using Image MCP):

I'll generate that image for you using the generate_image tool...

generate_image({ prompt: "A futuristic city at sunset with flying cars, cyberpunk aesthetic, vibrant colors" })

Here's your generated image: [Image URL returned]

🔧 Troubleshooting

Tool not showing up?

Restart Roo Code after adding the configuration. MCP servers are loaded at startup.

Connection errors?

Make sure you have internet access. Image MCP is a hosted service at imagemcp.io.

Image generation fails?

Try a different model or simplify your prompt. Check our error documentation for details.

Authentication errors?
