About Playground AI MCP Server
Connect your AI agent directly to the Playground AI compute clusters. Eliminate manual interface dragging by instructing your LLM (Claude, Cursor) to natively generate, radically outpaint, or surgically inpaint high-resolution visual components using the Playground v3 pipeline.
The Vercel AI SDK gives every Playground AI tool full TypeScript type inference, IDE autocomplete, and compile-time error checking. Connect 10 tools through the Vinkius and stream results progressively to React, Svelte, or Vue components — works on Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and any Node.js runtime.
What you can do
- Direct Image Generation — Generate pristine assets instantly. Use the
generate_imagetool explicitly defining prompt nuances and tensor geometries (like 1024x1024). - ControlNet & Transformations — Substantially alter base images. Tell the agent to use
controlnet(depth/canny) or apply rawtransform_imageoverrides mutating your sketches into polished renders. - Precision Editing — Execute flawless structural edits. Instruct the AI to seamlessly
remove_backgroundand isolate elements, or useinpaint_imageoverlaying explicit masks. - Upscaling & Outpainting — Scale blurry inputs intelligently up to 4x, or instruct the diffusion model to geometrically expand boundary borders utilizing
outpaint_image.
The Playground AI MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Vercel AI SDK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Chatbots with tool use: embed Playground AI capabilities into conversational interfaces with streaming responses and tool call visibility
Internal tools: build admin panels where team members interact with Playground AI through natural language queries
Playground AI MCP Tools for Vercel AI SDK (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Playground AI to Vercel AI SDK via MCP:
generate_image
Triggers immediate billing execution per inference step. Generate images from a text prompt using Playground AI. Playground offers multiple AI models including Playground v3 and SDXL variants for creative image generation. Instructions: Pass prompt, model name, width, height (multiples of 64)
generate_with_controlnet
Generate images with ControlNet guidance using Playground AI. Control types: canny, depth, pose, scribble. Instructions: Pass prompt, reference image URL, control type
get_generation
Get details of a Playground AI generation by ID. Returns images, prompt, model, and metadata
inpaint_image
Inpaint specific areas of an image using Playground AI. Uses a mask to define regions. Instructions: Pass prompt, image URL, and mask image URL (white = edit area)
list_generations
List recent generations on Playground AI. Returns generation IDs, prompts, and timestamps
list_models
List available models on Playground AI. Returns model names, descriptions, and capabilities
outpaint_image
Extend an image beyond its borders using Playground AI. AI generates new content in the specified direction. Instructions: Pass prompt, image URL, direction (up/down/left/right)
remove_background
Remove the background from an image using Playground AI. Returns transparent PNG. Instructions: Pass public image URL
transform_image
Transform an existing image with a text prompt using Playground AI. Strength controls how much the image changes (0-1). Instructions: Pass prompt, public image URL, and strength
upscale_image
Upscale an image using Playground AI. Enhances resolution and detail. Instructions: Pass image URL and scale factor (2 or 4)
Example Prompts for Playground AI in Vercel AI SDK
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Vercel AI SDK agent to start working with Playground AI immediately.
"Generate a 1024x1024 image of a cyberpunk coffee cup in neon lighting."
"Upscale this image to 4x its size `https://example.com/small_icon.png`."
"Remove the background from the image at `https://example.com/person.jpg`."
