What is the Imagine MCP Server?

MCP server for image/video understanding & generation (Gemini/OpenAI/Grok)

What the server does

  • Multimodal understanding — -- Describe, classify, or reason over images and videos (Gemini handles mixed image + video in one call)
  • Image generation — -- Text-to-image and image-to-image (edit / inpaint) across Gemini Imagen, OpenAI gpt-image, Grok Imagine
  • Video generation — -- Text-to-video and image-to-video (Gemini Veo 3.1, Grok Imagine Video)
  • 3 providers x 2 tiers — -- Same interface for gemini / openai / grok at poor (cheap/fast) or rich (high quality); swap via parameter
  • Open model passthrough — -- Understanding routes through litellm; pass any provider/model, or configure an ordered model chain (no hardcoded catalog)
  • Degraded mode — -- Server starts with zero credentials and surfaces remaining providers as you add keys
