MCP Image Generation Server

A Go implementation of an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that generates images using OpenAI's DALL-E API. This server demonstrates how to build MCP tools that can be used by Large Language Models like Claude.

Features

• Generate images from text descriptions
• Automatic handling of save locations
• Configurable image dimensions
• Proper error handling and logging
• Works with Claude Desktop and other MCP clients

Prerequisites

• Go 1.19 or higher
• OpenAI API key
• Claude Desktop (for testing)

Build command

go build -o ./bin/imagegen-go ./main

Configuration

Add this server to your Claude Desktop configuration at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
   "imagegen-go": {
      "command": "/path/to/imagegen-go/bin/imagegen-go",
      "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "DEFAULT_DOWNLOAD_PATH":"/path/to/downloads"
      }
    }
  }
}

Usage

1. Build the server using the command above
2. Configure Claude Desktop with your server path and API key
