What it actually does

Here's an example of generating an image directly in Cursor using the text-to-image tool integrated via MCP:

  • Exposes OpenAI image generation capabilities through MCP tools
  • Supports text-to-image generation using models like DALL-E 2, DALL-E 3, and gpt-image-1 (if available/enabled)
  • Supports image-to-image editing using DALL-E 2 and gpt-image-1 (if available/enabled)
  • Configurable via environment variables and command-line arguments
  • Handles various parameters like size, quality, style, format, etc
  • Saves generated/edited images to temporary files and returns the path along with the base64 data

Configuration

  • Node.js (v18 or later recommended) * npm or yarn * An OpenAI API key
