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 teams choose Vinkius for APImage in Windsurf
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 Windsurf 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 Windsurf
Every tool call from Windsurf 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.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
