Overview

About This Skill

SeeDream-image-mcp is an MCP tool that automates image generation using Volcano Engine's SeeDream 4.0 model, designed for integration with Cursor and Claude Desktop. Instead of writing complex prompts, users describe what they need and the tool automatically generates appropriate image prompts and creates visual content. The skill supports customizable image dimensions and smart reference images, making it useful for teams that need to produce visual assets quickly. Generated images are accessible via direct links, though the README notes that links expire after 24 hours when using the local version. A cloud-hosted alternative is available that offers permanent CDN storage and additional features like WebP compression and background removal.

How to Use

Obtain an API key from Volcano Engine's console, then run `npx seedream-image-mcp --ark-key=YOUR_API_KEY`. Configure it in Cursor or Claude Desktop by adding the command to your MCP settings JSON. Use natural language requests like 'add suitable images to this page' and the AI will automatically generate images.
