MeiGen AI Design MCP Server: Setup for Claude, Cursor and Other Apps

• Finds prompts and example images in MeiGen's gallery

  Searches the gallery by meaning, not just keywords, and returns up to three entries per call with preview images. Ask for more and it continues from where it stopped.

  Try: “Find minimalist product photography references and show their prompts.”

  Network · search_gallery

• Shows the full prompt and images of one gallery entry

  Fetches the complete prompt and all image links for a gallery entry you picked, so you can adapt it.

  Try: “Get the full prompt behind the second result.”

  Network · get_inspiration

• Turns a short idea into a detailed image prompt

  Expands a few words into a fuller image prompt, with an optional style. It works without a MeiGen account.

  Try: “Turn 'a cat in a garden' into a professional prompt.”

  Read · enhance_prompt

• Lists the image and video models and what each supports

  Shows the available models with their abilities, limits and options, so the assistant picks one that fits your request.

  Try: “Which video models can use a reference clip?”

  Network · list_models

• Creates an image from a prompt

  Generates an image through MeiGen or, on the local install, an OpenAI-compatible provider. It accepts reference images and, for MeiGen, can charge your purchased credits.

  Try: “Create a hero photo of a ceramic mug on a stone counter.”

  Write · generate_image

• Creates a video clip with a chosen model

  Starts a video job with the model you pick, optionally from first and last frames or reference images, video or audio. It uses purchased credits and can wait for the result.

  Try: “Animate this product photo into a five second video.”

  Write · generate_video

• Renders a full video from an approved draft

  Takes a cheap 480p draft preview and renders the final version. This is a separate paid step after you review the draft.

  Try: “Render the final version of the draft I just approved.”

  Write · render_video_draft

• Checks the status of an image or video job

  Looks up an earlier generation by its ID so an interrupted job is not paid for twice, and reports status and next steps.

  Try: “Is my last video finished?”

  Network · check_generation

• Lists MeiGen's ready-made workflows with live prices

  Describes the five Skills (cutouts, product images, posters, new backgrounds, upscaling), what each needs, current prices and how to top up. It starts no job.

  Try: “List MeiGen's available Skills and current prices.”

  Network · list_skills

• Prepares a reference image and returns its link

  Write · upload_skill_image

• Prepares a video or audio reference for video generation

  Uploads an MP4, MOV, WAV or MP3 reference and returns a link and its length. The public link is cleared after seven days, and it needs a positive purchased balance.

  Try: “Prepare this audio clip as a reference for the video.”

  Write · upload_reference_media

• Makes a transparent PNG cutout from a photo

  Removes the background from one photo and returns a transparent PNG. It is a paid Skill.

  Write · upscale_image

• Checks a Skill job, partial failures and refunds

  Reads the result of a Skill job, any failed images and refund state, without a new charge, and says when to poll or retry.

  Try: “Did my poster job finish?”

  Network · check_skill

Watch out for

• Generation spends your purchased credits

  Image, video and Skill tools charge your MeiGen balance, and daily free credits do not apply to cloud generation. Ask the assistant for a price and a count before a batch, and keep per-tool approval on. github.com

• It tells the assistant not to re-ask inside an approved scope

  Its built-in instructions say your request already sets the count, scope and budget, so the assistant should not ask again for each image, video or step inside it. It should still ask for higher spending or a replacement attempt. There is no server-side batch spending cap, so state a count and a credit limit in your prompt. github.com

• Your images and prompts go to MeiGen

  Uploaded photos become links on MeiGen's image host, and video or audio links are public until cleanup. Do not upload private material. github.com

• The local install writes to your home folder

  manage_preferences saves defaults to ~/.config/meigen/preferences.json, and generated results can be downloaded to your disk. The hosted route returns links instead. github.com

• Gallery prompts are treated as untrusted

  The tool descriptions tell the assistant that gallery prompts are creative content, not instructions to run tools. github.com
