### Description (declared)

# 🎨 Image Gen MCP Server

> *"Fine. I'll do it myself."* — Thanos (and also me, after trying five different MCP servers that couldn't mix-and-match image models)  
> I wanted a single, **simple** MCP server that lets agents generate **and** edit images across OpenAI, Google (Gemini/Imagen), Azure, Vertex, and OpenRouter—without yak‑shaving. So… here it is.

[![PyPI version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/image-gen-mcp.svg)](https://pypi.org/project/image-gen-mcp/) ![Python 3.12+](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.12%2B-blue) ![license](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-Apache%202.0-blue)

A multi‑provider **Model Context Protocol** (MCP) server for image **generation** and **editing** with a unified, type‑safe API. It returns MCP `ImageContent` blocks plus compact structured JSON so your client can route, log, or inspect results cleanly.

## 🧠 Why this exists

Because I couldn’t find an MCP server that spoke **multiple image providers** with **one sane schema**. Some only generated, some only edited, some required summoning three different CLIs at midnight.  
This one prioritizes:

- **One schema** across prov…
