Generate images and video from your AI assistant
Generation servers let a chat or coding assistant call image, video, and audio models on your behalf. You describe what you want, and the assistant writes a detailed prompt, calls a model such as Flux, Stable Diffusion, or a hosted video model, and returns the file or a link. Developers use this to make placeholder art, icons, and social images without leaving the editor, and some servers also edit or upscale existing media. Most run against a paid API, so check per-image pricing and set a budget before an agent starts generating in a loop.

How to set it up
- Pick a server. Midjourney is the strongest match. Check its tools and the API keys it needs on its page.
- Copy the config for your client. Open the install guide for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code, and paste the generated block into the client's config file. The client guides show where each config file lives.
- Restart and try a prompt. Restart the client so it loads the server, then paste one of the example prompts above.
Questions about image & video generation
What is the best MCP server for image & video generation?
Midjourney ranks first here with a trust score of 69/100, followed by replicate-mcp-server (55) and oganvil — OG (Open Graph) Image Generation API (52). Servers that name the topic directly come first, each group ordered by the public trust score, which nobody can pay for. See the methodology for how it is calculated.
How do I set up Midjourney in Claude or Cursor?
Open the install guide for Claude Desktop or Cursor, copy the generated config into the client's config file, add any API keys the server asks for, then restart the client. The client guides cover VS Code, Claude Code, Windsurf, and more.
Can I use a hosted server instead of installing one locally?
5 of the 12 servers listed here can connect remotely over HTTP, so there is nothing to run on your machine: Midjourney, oganvil — OG (Open Graph) Image Generation API, Video Generation Cost Estimator, and others. The rest run locally over stdio.
