The Problem with
Traditional Image APIs

AI agents today are powerful, but they hit a wall when they need to create images. Most image generation APIs require complex authentication, manual SDK setups, and constant maintenance.

Every new model means new integrations. Every update means debugging. Your AI spends more time fighting APIs than creating art.

❌ Complex SDK installations
❌ API key management headaches
❌ Model-specific code paths
❌ Inconsistent response formats

Everything You Need

Built-in tools, prompts, and resources designed for AI workflows

generate_image Tool

The core tool that takes a text prompt and returns a public image URL. Supports model selection and detailed parameters.

// Your AI simply calls:
generate_image({
  prompt: "A cosmic nebula with stars",
  model: "google/gemini-3-pro-image-preview"
})

Detailed Prompts

Pre-configured prompt templates for advanced use cases with style, mood, and lighting parameters.

// Structured generation:
generate-image-detailed({
  subject: "mountain landscape",
  style: "oil painting",
  mood: "dramatic",
  lighting: "sunset"
})

Model Discovery

Dynamic resource endpoint that lists all available models, so your AI always knows what's possible.

// Resource URI:
mcp://image-mcp/models

// Returns:
{ models: [{ id: "...", name: "..." }] }

Automatic CDN Upload

Generated images are automatically uploaded to DigitalOcean Spaces with CDN distribution for fast global access.

// Response includes:
{
  url: "https://cdn.../image.png",
  prompt: "original prompt",
  model: "model-used"
}
