openai-gpt-image-mcp
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool server designed for OpenAI's GPT-4o and gpt-image-1 image generation and editing APIs. This MCP server exposes image-generation capabilities via two primary tools, create-image and edit-image, enabling developers to generate images from prompts and perform inpainting, outpainting, or compositing edits with fine-grained prompt control. It also provides file-output options so generated content can be saved to disk or returned as base64, and it supports a range of MCP-compatible clients, including Claude Desktop, Cursor, VSCode, Windsurf, among others. Built on the MCP SDK and OpenAI and OpenAI-compatible tooling, this server offers a ready-to-run solution for integrating image APIs into MCP-enabled workflows.
Claude Skills MCP Server
Claude Skills MCP Server is an MCP server that enables intelligent search and retrieval of Claude Agent Skills using vector embeddings and semantic similarity. It implements a progressive disclosure architecture so AI applications can discover and load skills in stages (metadata → full content → files) while remaining fast and local. The server can load skills from multiple sources, including Official Anthropic Skills, K-Dense AI Scientific Skills, and local directories, providing a zero-configuration experience out of the box for Cursor or standalone usage. The architecture is split into a lightweight frontend and a heavy backend, enabling instant startup and background backend download, with no API keys required and the ability to connect to remote hosted backends if desired.
