imagegen-mcp

[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/imagegen-mcp)

This project provides a server implementation based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that acts as a wrapper around OpenAI's Image Generation and Editing APIs (see OpenAI documentation).

• Exposes OpenAI image generation capabilities through MCP tools.
• Supports text-to-image generation using models like DALL-E 2, DALL-E 3, and gpt-image-1 (if available/enabled).
• Supports image-to-image editing using DALL-E 2 and gpt-image-1 (if available/enabled).
• Configurable via environment variables and command-line arguments.
• Handles various parameters like size, quality, style, format, etc.
• Saves generated/edited images to temporary files and returns the path along with the base64 data.

Here's an example of generating an image directly in Cursor using the text-to-image tool integrated via MCP:

<div align="center"> </div>

You can run the server directly from npm using npx (requires Node.js and npm):

npx imagegen-mcp [options]

See the Running the Server section for more details on options and running locally.

• Node.js (v18 or later recommended)
• npm or yarn
• An OpenAI API key

You can easily integrate this server with Cursor to use its image generation capabilities directly within the editor:

1. Open Cursor Settings:

• Go to File > Preferences > Cursor Settings (or use the shortcut Ctrl+, / Cmd+,).

1. Navigate to MCP Settings:

• Search for "MCP" in the settings search bar.
• Find the "Model Context Pr
