MeiGen-AI-Design-MCP

/plugin marketplace add wshobson/agents
/plugin install meigen-ai-design@claude-code-workflows

This marketplace doesn't bundle MCP server config. After installing, add to your project's .mcp.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "meigen": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "meigen@1.2.7"] } } }

First-Time Setup

Free features work immediately after restart — try:

"Search for some creative inspiration"

To unlock image generation, run the setup wizard:

/meigen:setup

The wizard walks you through:

1. Choose a provider — local ComfyUI, MeiGen Cloud, or any OpenAI-compatible API (bring your own key & endpoint)
2. Enter credentials — ComfyUI URL, API token, or key
3. Done — restart Claude Code once more, then start generating

Cursor / VS Code / Windsurf / Roo Code

One command to set up MeiGen for any supported AI coding tool:

npx meigen init cursor      # Cursor
npx meigen init vscode      # VS Code / GitHub Copilot
npx meigen init windsurf    # Windsurf
npx meigen init roo         # Roo Code
npx meigen init claude      # Claude Code (project-level)

This writes the correct MCP config file with the right format and path for your tool. If a config file already exists, MeiGen is merged in without overwriting your other servers.

OpenClaw

Install the full plugin from ClawHub (includes commands, skills, and MCP server):

openclaw bundles install clawhub:meigen-ai-design

Or install only the skill (no commands/agents):

npx clawhub@latest install creative-toolkit

Other MCP-Compatible Hosts

Add to your MCP config (e.g. .mcp.json, claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "meigen": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "meigen@latest"],
      "env": {
        "MEIGEN_API_TOKEN": "meigen_sk_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Free features (inspiration search, prompt enhancement, model listing) work without any API key.

MCP Tools

Smart Agents

MeiGen uses specialized sub-agents for efficient parallel execution:

| Agent | Purpose | |-------|---------| | image-generator | Executes generate_image in isolated context — enables true parallel generation | | prompt-crafter | Writes multiple distinct prompts for batch generation (runs on Haiku for cost efficiency) | | gallery-researcher | Deep gallery exploration without cluttering the main conversation (runs on Haiku) |

Output Styles

Switch creative modes with /output-style:

• Creative Director — Art direction mode with visual storytelling, mood boards, and design thinking
• Minimal — Just images and file paths, no commentary. Ideal for batch workflows

Automation Hooks

• Config Check — Validates provider configuration on session start, guides setup if missing
• Auto-Open — Generated images automatically open in Preview (macOS)

MeiGen MCP supports three image generation backends. Configure one or multiple — the system auto-selects the best available.

ComfyUI — Local & Free

Run generation on your own GPU with full control over models, samplers, and workflow parameters. Import any ComfyUI API-format workflow — MeiGen auto-detects KSampler, CLIPTextEncode, EmptyLatentImage, and LoadImage nodes.

{
  "comfyuiUrl": "http://localhost:8188",
  "comfyuiDefaultWorkflow": "txt2img"
}

Perfect for Flux, SDXL, or any model you run locally. Your images never leave your machine.

MeiGen Cloud

Cloud API with multiple models: Nanobanana 2, Seedream 5.0, GPT image 1.5, and more. No GPU required.

Get your API token:

1. Sign in at meigen.ai
2. Click your avatar → Settings → API Keys
3. Create a new key (starts with meigen_sk_)

{ "meigenApiToken": "meigen_sk_..." }

Bring Your Own API (OpenAI-Compatible)

Connect any image generation API that follows the OpenAI format — Together AI, Fireworks AI, DeepInfra, SiliconFlow, or your own endpoint. Just provide your key, base URL, and model name:

{
  "openaiApiKey": "sk-...",
  "openaiBaseUrl": "https://api.together.xyz/v1",
  "openaiModel": "black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell"
}

All three providers support reference images. MeiGen and OpenAI-compatible APIs accept URLs directly; ComfyUI accepts both URLs and local file paths, injecting them into LoadImage nodes in your workflow.
