Frequently asked questions about the APImage MCP Server
Which AI image models are available?
Use the list_models tool to see all supported models. Current options include Flux 1 Dev, Flux 1 Schnell, Stable Diffusion XL, and DALL-E 3. Each model has different strengths for various visual styles.
Can my AI upscale an image and remove its background in one session?
Yes. Use upscale_image first to increase resolution, then remove_background on the result. Both tools accept image URLs, so you can chain operations seamlessly.
How does inpainting work?
The inpaint_image tool requires three inputs: the source image URL, a mask image URL (white areas = regions to fill), and a text prompt describing what to generate in those areas. The AI fills the masked regions while preserving the rest of the image.
