How do I connect my Leonardo.ai account?

You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and enter your Leonardo.ai API Key. Once connected, it is ready to use in your AI client.

Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Can I use my own custom models?

Yes, the MCP allows you to list and use your fine-tuned custom models alongside platform models.

How do I know when my image is finished?

You can use the get_generation capability to check the status of an active request or wait for your agent to notify you.

Can I track how many tokens I have left?

Yes, you can use the get_user capability to check your active account metrics and token allocations.

Can I check the progress of my image generation through my agent?

Yes. Use the get_generation_status capability 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 capability 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.

Connect Leonardoai Generative AI Models to your AI

Set it up once and it works in ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and any other client you love. It all runs safely in the background, so you can relax and focus on what really matters. Turn text prompts into high-fidelity visuals via your AI agent.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Automate a task

Put Leonardo.ai to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Leonardo.ai works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Leonardo.ai to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 10 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Leonardo.ai, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Leonardo.ai. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
