Usage

Available Models

5000:FLUX1.1: Standard quality, general-purpose image generation
9000:FLUX1.1-ultra: Ultra high quality for detailed images
6000:SD3.5: Stable Diffusion 3.5 for diverse styles
7000:Recraft-Real: Photorealistic style
8000:Recraft-Vector: Vector art style (SVG output)

Example Prompts

You can use natural language prompts in Cline to generate images, such as:

"Generate a minimalist tech logo in SVG format using the Recraft-Vector model"
"Create a photorealistic landscape image with the FLUX1.1-ultra model"
"Make me a vector icon for my project that represents artificial intelligence"
"Generate a professional company logo as an SVG file and save it to my desktop"

Tools and Parameters

generate_image

This tool creates images based on your specifications:

Parameters:
- prompt (required): Text description of desired image
- model: Model ID (5000:FLUX1.1, 9000:FLUX1.1-ultra, 6000:SD3.5, 7000:Recraft-Real, 8000:Recraft-Vector)
- format: Output format (svg, png, jpg, webp)
- output_path: Custom output path for the image
- web_project_path: Path to web project root for proper asset organization
- project_type: Web project type (react, vue, html, next, etc.)
- asset_path: Subdirectory within the web project assets
- image_count: Number of images to generate (1-10)

Important notes:

SVG format is only available with the Recraft-Vector (8000) model
Default format is "svg" for model 8000, "png" for all other models
You can specify combined model IDs (e.g., "8000:Recraft-Vector")

list_images

Lists all previously generated images stored by the server.

view_image

Opens a specific image in your default image viewer:

Parameters:
- filename: Name of the image file to view

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

Invalid model ID: Verify you're using one of the supported model IDs (5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000)
Format compatibility error: Remember that SVG format works only with the Recraft-Vector (8000) model
Image not found: Use the list_images tool to check available images
API authentication failure: Double-check your EverArt API key
Missing images: Verify file permissions and output paths

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "everart-forge" '{"command":"node","args":["/absolute/path/to/everart-forge-mcp/build/index.js"],"env":{"EVERART_API_KEY":"your_api_key_here"},"disabled":false,"autoApprove":[]}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "everart-forge": {
            "command": "node",
            "args": [
                "/absolute/path/to/everart-forge-mcp/build/index.js"
            ],
            "env": {
                "EVERART_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
            },
            "disabled": false,
            "autoApprove": []
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "everart-forge": {
            "command": "node",
            "args": [
                "/absolute/path/to/everart-forge-mcp/build/index.js"
            ],
            "env": {
                "EVERART_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
            },
            "disabled": false,
            "autoApprove": []
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
