What you need first

  • Apple silicon Mac with about 64 GB unified memory (the model needs about 33 GB)
  • uv for the Python engine

Steps

  1. Run ImageGen so its engine listens on port 7860
  2. Run claude mcp add --transport http imagegen http://127.0.0.1:7860/mcp --scope user
  3. Ask Claude Code for an image
  4. Check it in the app's gallery

Prompt for your agent

With the imagegen MCP server connected, generate a hero image for <project> and save it to <path>. Confirm the file exists and was made locally.

Caveat. The MCP server is only available while the app's engine is running.
