How to Use the APImage MCP in LangChain

Q: How does APImage handle tool routing inside LangChain?

The MCP adapter converts tools like generateimage and imagetoimage into standard LangChain tools. Your agent calls them dynamically based on the prompt context.

Q: Can I trace my APImage tool calls within LangChain using LangSmith?

Yes. Every time your LangChain agent calls enhanceprompt or removebackground, LangSmith logs the inputs, outputs, and exact latency.

Q: How do I pass APImage generated assets through a LangChain sequence?

You use the listgenerations tool to track history, then pass the generation IDs to getgeneration to pull specific image data into subsequent chain steps.

Run editorial photo searches and local image generation directly inside your LangChain reasoning chains.

Automate Editorial Workflows in LangChain

Connect your LangChain agents to a massive press image library using this MCP Server. Your agent can run `list_models` to pick the right generator, then trigger `generate_image` based on the context of your running chain. If the initial prompt needs work, the agent invokes `enhance_prompt` first. This lets your pipeline polish raw user inputs before committing resources to image generation, saving you API credits and compute.

Two-Step Image Modification Chains

Pass an existing editorial image through `image_to_image` or mask a specific section with `inpaint_image` inside a single LangGraph run. The LangChain adapter maps these tool outputs directly, letting your agent evaluate the generated image and decide if it needs to trigger `upscale_image` next. You get full observability through LangSmith tracing. Tracing shows exactly what prompt went into `enhance_prompt` and how the resulting image was modified, giving you a clear debug log of every pixel change.

Background Removal and Asset Cleanup

Clean up messy stock photos on the fly using this MCP Server. Your agent can call `remove_background` to isolate subjects from editorial shots, then immediately save the asset details using your custom database tools within the same active session. Before running heavy image operations, the agent checks `check_apimage_status` to confirm the archive is reachable. This prevents broken runs and keeps your multi-step pipelines running without silent failures.

Setup guide

Set up APImage MCP in LangChain

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
langchain-mcp-adapters + langgraph packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai. The MCP adapters package converts MCP tools into native LangChain BaseTool objects.
2

Connect via HTTP transport
Use MultiServerMCPClient with "transport": "http" pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes APImage tool calls through the MCP protocol.
4

Run with any LLM
Swap ChatOpenAI for ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.

agent.py

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "apimage-mcp": {
        "transport": "http",
        "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp",
    }
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()

    agent = create_react_agent(
        ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
        tools,
    )
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": "List recent APImage transactions"
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)
