I Built an Image Generation MCP for Claude Code — Gemini, OpenAI, and FLUX in One Place

Why I built this I use Claude Code as my primary dev environment. Code, review, deploy — almost everything happens inside Claude Code. But there was one thing that kept pulling me out: generating images. Every time I needed a diagram or an illustration, I'd switch to Google AI Studio, rewrite the prompt without the original context, and manually save the result back into my project. About 30 times a day. So I built mcp-imagenate, an MCP server that brings image generation directly into Claude Code and Claude Desktop. It hit 1,000 downloads on npm within 4 days of release. Note: This is an alpha release, built as a personal project. Use at your own risk. Use Cases Here are three ways I actually use this daily. 1. Generate system architecture diagrams from Claude Code After designing and implementing a system in Claude Code, I just say "generate an architecture diagram for this system." Claude Code already understands the full project context, so it constructs a solid prompt and generate
