Build image generation pipelines in Cursor

The `generate_v3` tool lets your Cursor agent write and test actual image generation code. This MCP integration allows the agent to call the API directly to build marketing assets or UI mockups, using real API responses instead of mock data blocks. Having the tool active in your editor means the agent can inspect the generated image structure. It writes precise code to handle the output URLs and metadata returned by the API.

Automate background removal and reframing

The `replace_background` tool automates programmatic image editing directly inside your workspace. Your agent uses this tool to isolate subjects and swap backdrops based on your project requirements. When your layout demands different aspect ratios, the agent invokes `reframe` to resize the canvas. It uses AI fill to expand the borders without distorting your original subject.

Extract visual data for your code

The `describe` tool analyzes local assets to generate metadata for your database. Your agent uses this tool to inspect local images and generate detailed text descriptions directly in your code files. If you need to iterate on an asset, the agent calls `remix` to transform the style. The MCP connection allows you to generate variations for testing different UI themes.
