Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the APImage MCP Server?
Connect your APImage account to any AI agent and manage your entire image generation and editing workflow through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Text-to-Image — Generate images from text descriptions using multiple AI models (Flux, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E)
- Background Removal — Remove backgrounds from any image and receive transparent PNGs
- Prompt Enhancement — Automatically expand simple prompts into detailed descriptions for better results
- Image Upscaling — Increase image resolution by 2x or 4x while preserving quality
- Image-to-Image — Transform existing images based on text prompts while keeping general structure
- Inpainting — Fill in masked areas of images with AI-generated content based on text prompts
- Model Selection — Browse available AI models and choose the best one for each task
- Generation History — Review all previously generated images with prompts, parameters, and download URLs
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your API Key from your APImage account settings
- Start generating images from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Designers — generate concept art and mockups directly from the code editor
- Marketing Teams — create campaign visuals and product images on demand
- Developers — automate asset creation for apps and websites

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns APImage into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from APImage and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools
APImage in Cursor
APImage and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect APImage to Cursor through Vinkius don't need to source, host, or maintain individual MCP servers. Every tool call runs inside a hardened runtime with credential isolation, DLP, and a signed audit chain.

Why teams choose Vinkius for APImage in Cursor
The APImage MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 10 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Cursor only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

How Vinkius secures
APImage for Cursor
Every tool call from Cursor to the APImage MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Which AI image models are available?
Use the list_models tool to see all supported models. Current options include Flux 1 Dev, Flux 1 Schnell, Stable Diffusion XL, and DALL-E 3. Each model has different strengths for various visual styles.
Can my AI upscale an image and remove its background in one session?
Yes. Use upscale_image first to increase resolution, then remove_background on the result. Both tools accept image URLs, so you can chain operations seamlessly.
How does inpainting work?
The inpaint_image tool requires three inputs: the source image URL, a mask image URL (white areas = regions to fill), and a text prompt describing what to generate in those areas. The AI fills the masked regions while preserving the rest of the image.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
