# No installation needed - npx will handle itOption 2: Local Installation
If you prefer a local installation:
# Global installation
npm install -g @gongrzhe/image-gen-server
# Or local installation
npm install @gongrzhe/image-gen-serverRelated MCP server: FLUX MCP Server
Setup
Configure Claude Desktop
Edit your Claude Desktop configuration file:
On MacOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonOn Windows:
%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Option 1: NPX Configuration (Recommended)
This method runs the server directly from npm without needing local files:
{
"mcpServers": {
"image-gen": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@gongrzhe/image-gen-server"],
"env": {
"REPLICATE_API_TOKEN": "your-replicate-api-token",
"MODEL": "alternative-model-name"
},
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}
}Option 2: Local Installation Configuration
If you installed the package locally:
{
"mcpServers": {
"image-gen": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/image-gen-server/build/index.js"],
"env": {
"REPLICATE_API_TOKEN": "your-replicate-api-token",
"MODEL": "alternative-model-name"
},
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}

Environment Variables
REPLICATE_API_TOKEN(required): Your Replicate API token for authenticationMODEL(optional): The Replicate model to use for image generation. Defaults to "black-forest-labs/flux-schnell"
Configuration Parameters
disabled: Controls whether the server is enabled (false) or disabled (true)autoApprove: Array of tool names that can be executed without user confirmation. Empty array means all tool calls require confirmation.
Available Tools
generate_image
Generates images using the Flux model based on text prompts.
Parameters
prompt(required): Text description of the image to generateseed(optional): Random seed for reproducible generationaspect_ratio(optional): Image aspect ratio (default: "1:1")output_format(optional): Output format - "webp", "jpg", or "png" (default: "webp")num_outputs(optional): Number of images to generate (1-4, default: 1)
Example Usage
const result = await use_mcp_tool({
server_name: "image-gen",
tool_name: "generate_image",
arguments: {
prompt: "A beautiful sunset over mountains",
aspect_ratio: "16:9",
output_format: "png",
num_outputs: 1
}
});The tool returns an array of URLs to the generated images.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the action ('generate') but doesn't mention cost, rate limits, permissions, or output behavior (e.g., file format, size). This is a significant gap for a generative tool with potential resource implications.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's front-loaded with the core action and model, making it easy to parse quickly. Every word earns its place without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of image generation, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't cover behavioral aspects like cost, rate limits, or output details (e.g., image size, quality), leaving gaps for the agent to operate effectively.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents all parameters. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, such as explaining prompt best practices or seed usage. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('generate') and resource ('image'), specifying the model ('Flux model'). It's specific about what the tool does, though without sibling tools, differentiation isn't applicable. It's not tautological or misleading.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, prerequisites, or constraints. The description lacks context for usage, such as when image generation is appropriate or any limitations, leaving the agent without operational guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap between tools. The single tool has a clear and distinct purpose of generating images using the Flux model.
Since there is only one tool, naming consistency is inherently perfect. The tool name 'generate_image' follows a clear verb_noun pattern, and there are no other tools to cause inconsistency.
A single tool for an image generation server is too few for the apparent scope, as it lacks basic operations like listing models, managing generations, or handling variations. This minimal set will likely cause agent failures due to incomplete functionality.
The tool surface is severely incomplete for an image generation domain. It only provides generation without any supporting operations such as model selection, parameter tuning, history retrieval, or image editing, leading to dead ends in agent workflows.
