What is MCP Image Generation Server?
A Go-based MCP server that leverages the OpenAI DALL-E API to generate images from text descriptions provided by Large Language Models (LLMs) such as Claude. It provides a 'generate-image' tool for LLMs to create images.
How to use MCP Image Generation Server?
- Build the server using
go build -o ./bin/imagegen-go ./main. 2. Configure Claude Desktop (or another MCP client) with the server's path and your OpenAI API key in theclaude_desktop_config.jsonfile. 3. Restart the MCP client. 4. Ask the LLM to generate images using prompts like 'Can you generate an image of a riverside home in cinematic style?'
