Learn how to connect Leonardo.ai (Generative AI & Models) to Cline and start using 10 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the 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.
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
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Leonardo.ai API Key

Frequently asked questions
Can I check the progress of my image generation through my agent?
Yes. Use the get_generation_status tool with the Generation ID provided when you started the request. Your agent will poll the Leonardo API and return the final image URLs and metadata once the process is complete.
How do I find which AI models are available for generation?
Ask your agent to list_platform_models or list_custom_models. It will return a list of available UUIDs and model names (like Phoenix or Kino XL), which are required when triggering a new image generation request.
Can my agent perform image-to-image transformations?
Absolutely. Use the upload_init_image tool to acquire a secure presigned URL for your source image. Once uploaded, you can command your agent to trigger a generation that uses that image as a reference for guided AI transformations.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
