Headless Image Pipeline for Claude Code

Pipe text prompts into the `generate` tool to create assets directly from your terminal. It is built for automated scripts and CI/CD workflows. The V3 model support ensures that your generated text remains legible. This is critical when you need to programmatically create branded content.

Scripted Asset Editing

Use `edit_v3` within your shell scripts to modify images at scale. It accepts masks and prompts, making it easy to batch-process visual updates. This is a clean way to handle repetitive visual tasks. You define the logic once, and the MCP Server executes the changes across your asset library.

Terminal-Driven Image Utilities

The `describe` and `upscale` tools provide deep insight and quality control for your images. You can run these commands after generation to verify output. It allows for rapid prototyping of visual assets without ever leaving the CLI. You get the precision of a controlled environment for your generation tasks.
