Creative Toolkit

Generate professional AI images through a unified interface that routes across multiple providers. Search curated prompts, enhance ideas into production-ready descriptions, and manage local ComfyUI workflows — all from a single MCP server.

Quick Start

Add the MCP server to your mcporter config (~/.config/mcporter/config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "creative-toolkit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "meigen@1.2.5"]
    }
  }
}

Free tools (search, enhance, inspire) work immediately — no API key needed:

mcporter call creative-toolkit.search_gallery query="cyberpunk"
mcporter call creative-toolkit.enhance_prompt brief="a cat in space" style="realistic"

To unlock image generation, configure one of these providers:

Provider	Config	What you need
MeiGen Cloud	MEIGEN_API_TOKEN	Token from meigen.ai (avatar → Settings → API Keys)
Local ComfyUI	comfyuiUrl	A running ComfyUI instance — no external API needed
Any OpenAI-compatible API	openaiApiKey + openaiBaseUrl + openaiModel	Your own key from Together AI, Fireworks AI, etc.

Set credentials in ~/.clawdbot/.env, ~/.config/meigen/config.json, or add an "env" block to the mcporter config above. See references/providers.md for details.

Available Tools

Free — no API key required

Tool	What it does
search_gallery	Semantic search across 1,300+ AI image prompts. Supports category filtering and curated browsing. Returns prompt text, thumbnails, and metadata.
get_inspiration	Get the full prompt and high-res images for any gallery entry. Use after search_gallery to get copyable prompts.
enhance_prompt	Expand a brief idea into a detailed, style-aware prompt with lighting, composition, and material directions. Supports realistic, anime, and illustration styles.
list_models	List all available models across configured providers with capabilities and supported features.

Requires configured provider

Tool	What it does
generate_image	Generate an image from a text prompt. Routes to the best available provider. Supports aspect ratio, seed, and reference images.
upload_reference_image	Compress a local image (max 2MB, 2048px) and upload to temporary storage (expires in 24 hours) for use as a style reference. Call this MCP tool directly — do NOT construct upload HTTP requests manually. ComfyUI users can skip this — pass local file paths directly to generate_image.
comfyui_workflow	List, view, import, modify, and delete ComfyUI workflow templates. Adjust steps, CFG scale, sampler, and checkpoint without editing JSON.
manage_preferences	Save and load user preferences (default style, aspect ratio, style notes, favorite prompts).

Important Rules

Never describe generated images

You cannot see generated images. After generation, only present the exact data from the tool response:

**Direction 1: Modern Minimal**
- Image URL: https://images.meigen.art/...
- Saved to: ~/Pictures/meigen/2026-02-08_xxxx.jpg

Do NOT write creative commentary about what the image "looks like".

Never specify model or provider

Do NOT pass model or provider to generate_image unless the user explicitly asks. The server auto-selects the best available provider and model.

Always confirm before generating multiple images

When the user wants multiple variations, present options first and ask which direction(s) to try. Include an "all of the above" option. Never auto-generate all variants without user confirmation.

Workflow Modes

Mode 1: Single Image

User wants one image. Write a prompt (or call enhance_prompt if the description is brief), generate, present URL + path.

Mode 2: Prompt Enhancement + Generation

For brief ideas (under ~30 words, lacking visual details), enhance first:

1. enhance_prompt brief="futuristic city" style="realistic"
   -> Returns detailed prompt with camera lens, lighting, atmospheric effects

2. generate_image prompt="<enhanced prompt>" aspectRatio="16:9"

Mode 3: Parallel Generation (2+ images)

User needs multiple variations — different directions, styles, or concepts.

1. Plan directions, present as a table
2. Ask user which direction(s) to try
3. Write distinct prompts for each — don't just tweak one word
4. Generate selected directions (max 4 parallel for API providers, 1 at a time for ComfyUI)
5. Present URLs + paths

Mode 4: Multi-Step Creative (base + extensions)

User wants a base design plus derivatives (e.g., "design a logo and make mockups").

1. Plan 3-5 directions, ask user which to try
2. Generate selected direction(s)
3. Present results, ask user to approve or try another
4. Plan extensions using the approved Image URL as referenceImages
5. Generate extensions

Never jump from plan to generating everything at once.

Mode 5: Edit/Modify Existing Image

User provides an image and asks for changes (add text, change background, etc.).

• Upload the reference image (if local), then generate with a short, literal prompt describing ONLY the edit
• The reference image carries all visual context — do NOT re-describe the original image
• Example prompt: "Add the text 'meigen.ai' at the bottom of this image"

Mode 6: Inspiration Search

1. search_gallery query="dreamy portrait with soft light"
   -> Finds semantically similar prompts with thumbnails

2. get_inspiration id="<entry_id>"
   -> Get full prompt text — copy and modify for your own generation

Mode 7: Reference Image Generation

Use an existing image to guide visual style. You MUST call the MCP tool directly — do NOT construct HTTP requests manually.

1. upload_reference_image filePath="~/Desktop/my-logo.png"
   -> Compresses and returns a temporary URL (expires in 24 hours)

2. generate_image prompt="coffee mug mockup with this logo" referenceImages=["<url>"]

Reference image sources: gallery URLs, previous generation URLs, upload_reference_image for local files. ComfyUI users can pass local file paths directly — no upload needed.

Important: If upload_reference_image fails or is unavailable, do NOT attempt to replicate its behavior by calling HTTP endpoints yourself. Instead, tell the user to upload the image manually at meigen.ai and provide the URL, or use the image URL directly if it's already online.

Mode 8: ComfyUI Workflows

1. comfyui_workflow action="list"           -> See saved workflows
2. comfyui_workflow action="view" name="txt2img"  -> See adjustable parameters
3. comfyui_workflow action="modify" name="txt2img" modifications={"steps": 30}
4. generate_image prompt="..." workflow="txt2img"  -> Generate

Alternative Providers

You can use your own OpenAI-compatible API or a local ComfyUI instance instead of — or alongside — the default MeiGen provider. See references/providers.md for detailed configuration, model pricing, and provider comparison.
