Generate images from text with multi-provider routing — supports Nanobanana 2, Seedream 5.0, GPT Image, and local ComfyUI workflows. Includes 1,300+ curated prompts and style-aware prompt enhancement. Use when users want to create images, design assets, enhance prompts, or manage AI art workflows.
Generate professional AI images through a unified interface that routes across multiple providers. Search curated prompts, enhance ideas into production-ready descriptions, and manage local ComfyUI workflows — all from a single MCP server.
Add the MCP server to your mcporter config (~/.config/mcporter/config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"creative-toolkit": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "[email protected]"]
}
}
}
Free tools (search, enhance, inspire) work immediately — no API key needed:
mcporter call creative-toolkit.search_gallery query="cyberpunk"
mcporter call creative-toolkit.enhance_prompt brief="a cat in space" style="realistic"
To unlock image generation, configure one of these providers:
| Provider | Config | What you need |
|---|---|---|
| MeiGen Cloud | MEIGEN_API_TOKEN | Token from meigen.ai (avatar → Settings → API Keys) |
| Local ComfyUI | comfyuiUrl | A running ComfyUI instance — no external API needed |
| Any OpenAI-compatible API | openaiApiKey + openaiBaseUrl + openaiModel | Your own key from Together AI, Fireworks AI, etc. |
Set credentials in ~/.clawdbot/.env, ~/.config/meigen/config.json, or add an "env" block to the mcporter config above. See references/providers.md for details.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_gallery | Semantic search across 1,300+ AI image prompts. Supports category filtering and curated browsing. Returns prompt text, thumbnails, and metadata. |
get_inspiration | Get the full prompt and high-res images for any gallery entry. Use after search_gallery to get copyable prompts. |
enhance_prompt | Expand a brief idea into a detailed, style-aware prompt with lighting, composition, and material directions. Supports realistic, anime, and illustration styles. |
list_models | List all available models across configured providers with capabilities and supported features. |
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
generate_image | Generate an image from a text prompt. Routes to the best available provider. Supports aspect ratio, seed, and reference images. |
upload_reference_image | Compress a local image (max 2MB, 2048px) and upload to temporary storage (expires in 24 hours) for use as a style reference. Call this MCP tool directly — do NOT construct upload HTTP requests manually. ComfyUI users can skip this — pass local file paths directly to generate_image. |
comfyui_workflow | List, view, import, modify, and delete ComfyUI workflow templates. Adjust steps, CFG scale, sampler, and checkpoint without editing JSON. |
manage_preferences | Save and load user preferences (default style, aspect ratio, style notes, favorite prompts). |
You cannot see generated images. After generation, only present the exact data from the tool response:
**Direction 1: Modern Minimal**
- Image URL: https://images.meigen.art/...
- Saved to: ~/Pictures/meigen/2026-02-08_xxxx.jpg
Do NOT write creative commentary about what the image "looks like".
Do NOT pass model or provider to generate_image unless the user explicitly asks. The server auto-selects the best available provider and model.
When the user wants multiple variations, present options first and ask which direction(s) to try. Include an "all of the above" option. Never auto-generate all variants without user confirmation.
User wants one image. Write a prompt (or call enhance_prompt if the description is brief), generate, present URL + path.
For brief ideas (under ~30 words, lacking visual details), enhance first:
1. enhance_prompt brief="futuristic city" style="realistic"
-> Returns detailed prompt with camera lens, lighting, atmospheric effects
2. generate_image prompt="<enhanced prompt>" aspectRatio="16:9"
User needs multiple variations — different directions, styles, or concepts.
User wants a base design plus derivatives (e.g., "design a logo and make mockups").
referenceImagesNever jump from plan to generating everything at once.
User provides an image and asks for changes (add text, change background, etc.).
1. search_gallery query="dreamy portrait with soft light"
-> Finds semantically similar prompts with thumbnails
2. get_inspiration id="<entry_id>"
-> Get full prompt text — copy and modify for your own generation
Use an existing image to guide visual style. You MUST call the MCP tool directly — do NOT construct HTTP requests manually.
1. upload_reference_image filePath="~/Desktop/my-logo.png"
-> Compresses and returns a temporary URL (expires in 24 hours)
2. generate_image prompt="coffee mug mockup with this logo" referenceImages=["<url>"]
Reference image sources: gallery URLs, previous generation URLs, upload_reference_image for local files. ComfyUI users can pass local file paths directly — no upload needed.
Important: If upload_reference_image fails or is unavailable, do NOT attempt to replicate its behavior by calling HTTP endpoints yourself. Instead, tell the user to upload the image manually at meigen.ai and provide the URL, or use the image URL directly if it's already online.

You can use your own OpenAI-compatible API or a local ComfyUI instance instead of — or alongside — the default MeiGen provider. See references/providers.md for detailed configuration, model pricing, and provider comparison.
