This one needs environment variables set before it will start: YOUBOT_API_KEY (API key from you.bot — NOT an OpenAI key. Free at https://you.bot, 50 credits (~17 images) on signup, no credit card. Keys start with sk-live-.), YOUBOT_IMAGE_DIR (Optional. If set, every generated image is also saved to this folder.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

GPT Image MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for GPT Image MCP?

GPT Image MCP 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 gpt-image-2-5-mcp.

How do I connect GPT Image MCP?

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 gpt-image-2-5-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

Is GPT Image MCP 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.
