About Leonardo.ai (Generative AI & Models) MCP Server
Connect your Leonardo.ai account to any AI agent and take full control of state-of-the-art generative image production and custom AI models through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Leonardo.ai (Generative AI & Models) tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Generation Orchestration — Initiate asynchronous image generation requests defining precise prompts, model UUIDs, and dimensions directly from your agent
- Model Discovery — Enumerate global platform models (Phoenix, Kino XL) and your fine-tuned custom models to understand available inference capabilities
- Image-to-Image — Acquire secure presigned URLs to upload initial images for guided AI generation and reference-based transformations
- Precision Variations — Create unzoom context extensions and visual variations expanding previously generated images while maintaining structural consistency
- Inventory Audit — List recent user generations and retrieve absolute image URLs, prompts used, and exact hardware metadata securely
- User Metrics — Monitor active account metrics and token usage allocations to manage your generation budget and operational costs in real-time
The Leonardo.ai (Generative AI & Models) MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
