How to Use the Leonardo.ai (Generative AI & Models) MCP in Windsurf
Use the Leonardo.ai (Generative AI & Models) MCP Server to let Windsurf generate and manage assets directly in your workflow.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Leonardo.ai (Generative AI & Models) MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Leonardo.ai (Generative AI & Models) to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Generate and iterate on images
Trigger `generate_image` from within the Windsurf interface to create visuals without switching windows. The tool returns a generation ID that Cascade uses to track status until your asset is ready. You can then call `create_variation` to refine specific outputs or `upload_init_image` to prime the model for image-to-image tasks. This keeps your creative loop entirely inside the IDE.
Audit models and track usage
Use `list_platform_models` and `list_custom_models` to see exactly which engines are available for your current project. You can inspect specific parameters with `get_model` to ensure your configuration matches your requirements. Keep an eye on your consumption using `get_user` to stay within your API limits. This gives you full visibility into your account metrics while you work.
Manage your generation history
Query your recent work with `list_user_generations` to pull up past outputs quickly. You can check the current status of any task using `get_generation` to avoid redundant API calls. Cleanup is just as easy with `delete_generation`, letting you remove outdated logs or images directly from the editor. This keeps your project history clean and relevant.
