# NovelAI MCP Server

[Русская версия](README.ru.md)

An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients generate and edit images with [NovelAI](https://novelai.net).

Supports NovelAI Diffusion V5 (Full and Curated) and V4.5: text-to-image, img2img, inpainting, Director Tools, Vibe Transfer, upscaling and tag suggestions.

## Tools

| Tool | What it does |
| :--- | :--- |
| `novelai_generate_image` | Text-to-image. Size presets or custom size, multi-character prompts with positions, in-image text, transparent background, comic panels, furry and background modes. |
| `novelai_img2img` | Redraws an existing image from a new prompt. `strength` (0.0–1.0) controls how much changes. |
| `novelai_inpaint` | Redraws the masked area of an image. White in the mask = repaint, black = keep. |
| `novelai_augment` | Director Tools: `bg-removal`, `lineart`, `sketch`, `colorize`, `emotion` (24 emotions), `declutter`. |
| `novelai_upscale` | Neural upscale. NovelAI chooses the factor. |
| `novelai_vibe_transfer` | Generates a new image in the style and palette of a reference image. |
| `novelai_suggest_tags` | Danbooru/NovelAI tag autocomplete. |

Generated images are saved to disk and also returned to the client, so the model can see them.

## Requirements
