Imagine transforming your coding environment into a dynamic space where not only text but also stunning images come to life. With the integration of MCP (Model Context Protocol), Cursor AI is stepping beyond its traditional text-based boundaries and into the realm of image creation. This powerful fusion opens up new possibilities for developers looking to visualize their code-related ideas seamlessly. Read on to discover how you can leverage this new feature in just a few simple steps.

To enhance Cursor AI with image creation capabilities using MCP, follow these steps:

  1. Create a Python File: Begin by writing a function that utilizes the Flux model to generate images. This function will serve as the core of image creation.

  2. Transform into an MCP Server: Add the necessary code to convert your function into an MCP server. This setup allows any AI agent to tap into the image creation feature.

  3. Configure Cursor: Establish communication between Cursor and the MCP server by designing an mcp.json file. This file enables Cursor AI to recognize and interact with the new image creation service.

Once set up, you can simply type a request, like asking for an image of a mountain, in Cursor AI's chat window. The Cursor AI agent, now empowered by the MCP service, will generate the desired image and save it into a file within your working directory.
