Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is hwalde/imagen-tools-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on imagen-tools-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything imagen-tools-mcp configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

imagen-tools-mcp AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Imagen Tools MCP — Setup & Konfiguration

Diese Datei ist die einzige Quelle der Projekt-Doku. CLAUDE.md importiert sie per @AGENTS.md, damit Claude Code sie automatisch mitlädt — nicht duplizieren, hier pflegen.

MCP-Server (stdio, Python) für Bildgenerierung und -bearbeitung mit Google Gemini. Läuft auf Windows, macOS und Linux.


Was der Server braucht

Baustein Zweck Pflicht?
Python ≥ 3.10 Laufzeit ja
google-genai, mcp, Pillow siehe requirements.txt ja
Google-Cloud-Projekt mit aktivierter Vertex AI API Provider vertex_ai ja, für Vertex
gcloud CLI + Application Default Credentials Auth für vertex_ai ja, für Vertex
Gemini-API-Key (AI Studio) Provider ai_studio nur für AI Studio

Der Server unterstützt zwei Provider, zwischen denen zur Laufzeit gewechselt werden kann:

  • vertex_ai (Default) — authentifiziert über gcloud, zuverlässig für alle Operationen.
  • ai_studio — authentifiziert über API-Key, aber Bild-Editing mit dem Flash-Modell schlägt hier reproduzierbar mit 500 Internal Error fehl. Für Editing über AI Studio das Pro-Modell wählen oder auf vertex_ai wechseln.

Installation

pip install -r requirements.txt

Ein venv ist optional — wo systemweites pip erlaubt ist, genügt der Aufruf oben.


Konfiguration über Umgebungsvariablen

Projekt-ID und API-Key kommen ausschließlich aus der Umgebung — keine Zugangsdaten im Code. Gesetzt werden sie am besten direkt im env-Block des MCP-Eintrags (siehe unten), dann gelten sie nur für diesen Server und überleben Shell-Neustarts.

Nicht über die Umgebung steuerbar, sondern im Code festgelegt: Start-Provider und -Modell (DEFAULT_PROVIDER, DEFAULT_MODEL — zur Laufzeit über die switch_*-Tools änderbar), das 90-s-Timeout pro API-Call und MAX_INPUT_EDGE (1568 px).

Variable Bedeutung Default
GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT GCP-Projekt-ID. Ohne diese Variable startet der Server nicht (bei Provider vertex_ai).
GEMINI_API_KEY_NANO_BANANA API-Key für Provider ai_studio. leer
IMAGEN_MCP_DEBUG 0 schaltet das Debug-Log ab. 1 (an)
IMAGEN_MCP_LOG_FILE Voller Pfad zur Log-Datei. siehe unten

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
