gen-image MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 115 installs a week from npm. Last commit 21 Sep 2026.
Local stdio MCP for OpenAI-compatible and Gemini image generation, editing, and model fallback.
Today is the operative word: we check gen-image MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
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.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
GEN_IMAGE_BASE_URL (Full HTTP/HTTPS base URL for the configured image API provider.), GEN_IMAGE_API_KEY (API key for the configured image API provider.), GEN_IMAGE_MODEL (Optional comma-separated OpenAI Images API model list. Configure this or GEN_IMAGE_GEMINI_MODEL.), GEN_IMAGE_GEMINI_MODEL (Optional comma-separated Gemini image model list. Configure this or GEN_IMAGE_MODEL.), GEN_IMAGE_AUTO_FALLBACK (Optional true/false switch for sequential model fallback.).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
