ai-image-gen-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

ai-image-gen-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from krystian-ai/ai-image-gen-mcp. It costs 1,005 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for an MCP server that is planned to generate images with AI. An MCP server is a program that lets an AI agent use an external capability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing or developing an image-generation server with model selection, image storage, and an API key.
Why use it?
It documents the planned setup, commands, architecture, and code-quality checks before implementation is complete.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is krystian-ai/ai-image-gen-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ai-image-gen-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 ai-image-gen-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

ai-image-gen-mcp CLAUDE.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 11d 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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for AI image generation. The project is currently in its initial planning phase with comprehensive documentation but no implementation yet.

Development Commands

Setup

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -e .[image,dev]

# Copy environment variables
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add your OpenAI API key

Running the Server

# Via MCP CLI
mcp-imageserve stdio

# Direct Python execution
python -m ai_image_gen_mcp.server --transport=stdio

Code Quality

The project will use pre-commit hooks with:

  • black (code formatting)
  • ruff (linting)
  • mypy (type checking)

Architecture

The MCP server follows a modular architecture:

  1. MCP Server Layer: Handles JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol, validates requests, manages authentication
  2. Model Router: Strategy pattern for switching between AI models (GPT-Image-1, DALL·E, Stable Diffusion)
  3. Object Storage: Stores generated images and provides signed URLs
  4. Async Queue: Celery/Kafka for GPU task management
  5. Post-Processing Pipeline: Image enhancement and watermarking

Key MCP Primitives

  • Tools: generate_image, upscale_image, inpaint_image
  • Resources: Generated assets, prompt logs, experiment metadata
  • Prompts: Reusable templates for image generation

Important Notes

  • Python Version: 3.11+ required
  • MVP Model: GPT-Image-1 (OpenAI) - requires OPENAI_API_KEY
  • Configuration: Uses .env file for API keys and settings
  • Target MVP Date: September 30, 2025

Current Status

The project now has a complete MVP implementation:

  1. MCP Server: Implemented with FastMCP, exposes generate_image tool and model resources
  2. Multiple Models:
    • DALL-E 3 (default) - High quality, supports sizes and styles
    • DALL-E 2 - Previous generation, supports multiple images
    • GPT-Image-1 - Uses Responses API (slower, timeout issues)
  3. Local Storage: Saves generated images with metadata to configurable cache directory
  4. Configuration: Environment-based configuration via .env file
  5. Testing: Comprehensive test suite with 100% test pass rate

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.
