### Description (declared)

# mcp-openai-images-audio

[`v0.1.0`](https://github.com/eduard256/mcp-openai-images-audio/releases/tag/v0.1.0)

MCP server that exposes OpenAI's `gpt-image-2` and `gpt-image-1.5` to Claude Code as a single tool. Generate, edit, or compose images straight from a chat. Files are written to disk; the model never returns base64 to your context.

This isn't a wrapper for everything OpenAI does. It's one tool: `image`. That's intentional.

![Example: GitHub re-imagined as if designed by the Instagram team](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eduard256/mcp-openai-images-audio/main/docs/example-ui-mockup.webp)

One call, `size: 2048x1152`, `quality: high`, no references — produced this UI mockup. Real readable typography, real-looking code preview, accurate Instagram visual language. That's the level you should expect.

## Install

```bash
pip install mcp-openai-images-audio
```

Or run directly without installing:

```bash
uvx mcp-openai-images-audio
```

## Connect to Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add openai-images \
  --scope user \
  -e OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... \
  -- uvx mcp-openai-images-audio
```

**Important:**

1. **Organization verification is mandatory** for `gpt-image-2`. Verify at https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/general. Takes a few minutes, propagates within 15 minutes.
2. The API key needs billing credit. Without it you get a 400 with `billing_hard_limit_reached`.
3. The server runs over stdio. No HTTP, no separate process to keep alive — Claude Code starts and stops it for you.

## How the tool works

One tool, three modes selected by `references_paths`:

- empty / not passed → `/v1/images/generations` (text → new image)
- 1 path → `/v1/images/edits` (modify that image)
- 2..16 paths → `/v1/images/edits` (compose with labeled references)

The server picks the model on its own:

- `background='transparent'` → `gpt-image-1.5` (gpt-image-2 currently rejects alpha — confirmed regression in OpenAI's docs)
- everything else → `gpt-image-2`
