A FastMCP server implementation for the Replicate API, providing resource-based access to AI model inference with a focus on image generation.
## Features
- 🖼️ Resource-based image generation and management
- 🔄 Real-time updates through subscriptions
- 📝 Template-driven parameter configuration
- 🔍 Comprehensive model discovery and selection
- 🪝 Webhook integration for external notifications
- 🎨 Quality and style presets for optimal results
- 📊 Progress tracking and status monitoring
- 🔒 Secure API key management
## Available Prompts
The server provides several specialized prompts for different tasks:
### Text to Image (Primary)
Our most thoroughly tested and robust prompt. Optimized for generating high-quality images from text descriptions with:
- Detailed style control
- Quality presets (draft, balanced, quality, extreme)
- Size and aspect ratio customization
- Progress tracking and real-time updates
Example:
```
Create a photorealistic mountain landscape at sunset with snow-capped peaks, quality level: quality, style: photorealistic
```
### Other Prompts
- **Image to Image**: Transform existing images (coming soon)
- **Model Selection**: Get help choosing the right model for your task
- **Parameter Help**: Understand and configure model parameters
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.11 or higher
- A Replicate API key (get one at https://replicate.com/account)
- [UV](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) for dependency management
## Installation
You can install the package directly from PyPI:
```bash
# Using UV (recommended)
uv pip install mcp-server-replicate
# Using UVX for isolated environments
uvx install mcp-server-replicate
# Using pip
pip install mcp-server-replicate
```
## Claude Desktop Integration
1. Make sure you have the latest version of Claude Desktop installed
2. Open your Claude Desktop configuration:
```bash
# macOS
code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
# Windows
code %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
```
3. Add the server configuration using one of these options:
```json
{
"globalShortcut": "Shift+Alt+A",
"mcpServers": {
"replicate": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["tool", "run", "mcp-server-replicate"],
"env": {
"REPLICATE_API_TOKEN": "APITOKEN"
},
"cwd": "$PATH_TO_REPO"
}
}
}
```
4. Set your Replicate API key:
```bash
# Option 1: Set in your environment
export REPLICATE_API_TOKEN=your_api_key_here
# Option 2: Create a .env file in your home directory
echo "REPLICATE_API_TOKEN=your_api_key_here" > ~/.env
```
5. Restart Claude Desktop completely
You should now see the 🔨 icon in Claude Desktop, indicating that the MCP server is available.
## Usage
Once connected to Claude Desktop, you can:
1. Generate images with natural language:
```
Create a photorealistic mountain landscape at sunset with snow-capped peaks
```
2. Browse your generations:
```
Show me my recent image generations
```
3. Search through generations:
```
Find my landscape generations
```
4. Check generation status:
```
What's the status of my last generation?
```
## Troubleshooting
### Server not showing up in Claude Desktop
1. Check the Claude Desktop logs:
```bash
tail -n 20 -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log
```
2. Verify your configuration:
- Make sure the path in `claude_desktop_config.json` is absolute
- Ensure UV is installed and in your PATH
- Check that your Replicate API key is set
3. Try restarting Claude Desktop
