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.

gen-image MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for gen-image MCP?
gen-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 gen-image-mcp was installed 115 times last week.
How do I connect gen-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 gen-image-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use gen-image MCP?
The npm package gen-image-mcp was installed 115 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 gen-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.
