Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Muse Image every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

Claude Code Claude Desktop Codex Cursor VS Code

run in your terminal

claude mcp add muse-image -- npx -y muse-image-mcp

}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: MUSE_API_KEY (Meta Model API key, created at https://dev.meta.ai under API keys), MUSE_MODEL (Model ID to use by default), MUSE_OUTPUT_DIR (Absolute path for saved images. Defaults to generated-images/ under whatever directory the client launched the server from). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Muse Image — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Muse Image?

Muse Image runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package muse-image-mcp was installed 662 times last week.

How do I connect Muse Image?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls muse-image-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Muse Image?

The npm package muse-image-mcp was installed 662 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Muse Image open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
