# Image Router MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Image Router MCP lets you manage and route image generation requests to the best available models automatically. It handles everything from basic text-to-image prompts to advanced edits, upscaling, and variations. Use it to maintain consistent styles and high-quality outputs across different AI platforms without jumping between tools. ## Overview - **Category:** industry-titans - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_CxjwkReos8CsW9sfirb1DhKdaIqxEE5zeAEGgCGs/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** generative-ai, image-generation, model-aggregation, prompt-engineering, stable-diffusion, dall-e ## Description This Connector changes how you handle creative assets by putting all your image generation tools under one roof. Instead of toggling between different platforms to get the right look, you can just tell your agent what you need and let it handle the routing. It handles the heavy lifting of selecting models based on your specific requirements, whether you're looking for high-fidelity photorealism or a stylized illustration. You get a centralized way to manage styles, upscale your favorite results, and keep track of long-running generation tasks in one place. It's designed for people who need to move fast and want their AI to pick the right engine for the job every time. You'll find it's a lot easier to maintain a cohesive visual brand when your agent can pull from a curated library of models and presets. It's a core piece of the workflow for anyone who thinks image generation should be a deliberate process rather than a series of lucky guesses. You can find this inside the Vinkius catalog to get it hooked up to your favorite client quickly. ## Tools ### check_imagerouter_status Check if the connection to the Image Router API is active. This helps you troubleshoot your setup quickly. ### generate_image Create a new image from a simple text prompt. It's the fastest way to see what an idea looks like. ### get_generation_status Check if a long-running image generation is finished. Use this to keep your workflow moving while waiting for results. ### list_styles See all available artistic styles. Use this to quickly apply a specific look to your next generation. ### upscale_image Increase the resolution of an existing image. This turns low-quality drafts into high-resolution final assets. ### edit_image Modify an image using a text description. Use this to fix specific details in a generation you already liked. ### generate_image_advanced Create images with full control over seeds, steps, and negative prompts. This is for when you need exact reproducibility. ### generate_variation Create different versions of an existing image. Use this to explore different compositions of the same subject. ### get_model Get the specific details of a single model. This helps your agent understand what a specific model is best for. ### list_models_by_category See all models grouped by their specific use cases. This makes it easier for your agent to find the right tool for the job. ### list_models See the full list of available image models. This gives you a complete overview of your generation options. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` I need a photorealistic portrait of a woman in a forest. ``` **Response:** ``` Image generated! 1024x1024 using Stable Diffusion XL. The scene shows a woman with soft lighting and high detail. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Show me what models we have for 3D renders. ``` **Response:** ``` | Model | Category | | --- | --- | | DreamShaper XL | 3D & Render | | Playground v2.5 | 3D & Render | | 12 more available... ``` **Prompt:** ``` Make this image bigger and clearer. ``` **Response:** ``` Image upscaled from 512x512 to 1024x1024. Details enhanced with AI super-resolution. ``` ## Capabilities ### Generate images from text Create new visuals based on your written descriptions. ### Apply advanced generation settings Control specific details like seeds, steps, and negative prompts. ### Edit existing images Modify parts of an image using text descriptions. ### Browse model libraries Filter and find the right models by category. ### Apply style presets Instantly apply artistic styles to your generations. ### Upscale image resolution Increase the size and clarity of your images. ### Create visual variations Generate different versions of an image you already like. ### Check task status See if your background generation tasks are finished. ## Use Cases ### Finding the right model for a specific look A designer needs a specific cyberpunk look but isn't sure which model is best. The agent uses list_models_by_category to find the right model and apply a style preset. ### Fixing blurry images for print A marketer generates a great image but it's too blurry for print. The agent uses upscale_image to boost the resolution to 2x. ### Creating variations of a character A developer wants to create 10 variations of a character. The agent uses generate_variation repeatedly to explore different poses. ### Modifying specific details in a scene A user wants to change just the hat on a generated character. The agent uses edit_image to modify that specific part of the image. ## Benefits - Stop jumping between different platforms by using generate_image and generate_image_advanced in one place. - Maintain brand consistency by using list_styles and applying specific presets to every request. - Save time on revisions by using edit_image to tweak specific details instead of starting over. - Get production-ready assets faster by using upscale_image to fix resolution issues instantly. - Keep your workflow organized by using get_generation_status to track multiple background tasks at once. - Explore better results by using list_models_by_category to find the right engine for your specific style. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a single point of control for all your image generation needs. 1. Connect your Image Router account to your AI client via the Vinkius dashboard. 2. Provide your agent with a prompt or a style preference. 3. Receive the final image or a status update on the generation progress. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Can I use Image Router to manage different AI models at once?** Yes, it acts as a central hub. You can route requests to various models based on your needs, so you don't have to switch between different platforms. **How does Image Router help with brand consistency?** It allows you to use style presets and specific model categories. This ensures that every image your agent creates follows the same visual guidelines. **Can I edit images I've already generated?** Yes, you can use the edit tool to modify existing images with text descriptions. This is great for fixing small details without having to regenerate the whole thing. **Does Image Router support high-resolution upscaling?** It does. You can send images to the upscaler to increase their resolution, making them suitable for print or high-quality web use. **Can I check on images that are taking a long time to generate?** Yes, the Connector includes a status check. This lets your agent tell you if a generation is still processing or if it's ready for you to view. **Is Image Router good for professional marketing teams?** It's ideal for teams that need to produce high volumes of content. It automates the which model to use decision, which saves a lot of time for non-technical creators. **Can my AI generate images from text?** Yes. `generate_image` creates images from any text prompt using AI models like Stable Diffusion. **Can I upscale or create variations?** Yes. `upscale_image` increases resolution and `generate_variation` creates visual alternatives of an existing image. **How do I browse available models?** Use `list_models` for all models or `list_models_by_category` to filter by style category.
