How to Set Up and Use MeiGen AI Design
MeiGen AI Design MCP is an AI image and video generation server that integrates directly with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible clients to provide access to multiple generation backends including GPT Image 2.0, Nanobanana 2, and locally-running ComfyUI workflows. The server ships with a library of over 1,400 curated design prompts, a prompt enhancement tool, and multi-task orchestration for parallel generation jobs. It is designed for developers and designers who want to generate, iterate on, and manage AI-generated visuals without leaving their coding environment.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ installed (required to run npx)
- A MeiGen API token from meigen.ai (Settings → API Keys) for cloud generation backends
- Optionally: a locally running ComfyUI instance at http://localhost:8188 for local generation
- An MCP-capable client such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, or Windsurf
Obtain your MeiGen API token
Create an account at meigen.ai and navigate to Settings → API Keys to generate a token (format: meigen_sk_...). This token is required for GPT Image 2.0, Nanobanana 2, and other MeiGen Cloud backends.
Install for Claude Code using the plugin marketplace
The fastest way to add this server to Claude Code is via the plugin marketplace command. For other clients, use the npx init subcommand to generate the correct config.
# Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add jau123/MeiGen-AI-Design-MCP
# Initialize config for other clients
npx meigen init cursor # Cursor
npx meigen init windsurf # Windsurf
npx meigen init vscode # VS CodeAdd the server to your claude_desktop_config.json (manual setup)
If configuring manually, add the meigen server entry to your MCP client's config file. Include your API token and desired output directory in the env block.
{
"mcpServers": {
"meigen": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "meigen"],
"env": {
"MEIGEN_API_TOKEN": "meigen_sk_your_token_here",
"MEIGEN_OUTPUT_DIR": "~/Pictures/meigen"
}
}
}
}Restart your MCP client
Quit and reopen Claude Desktop or reload the MCP extension in your IDE. Once the server starts, the generate_image, search_gallery, enhance_prompt, and list_models tools will be available.
Generate your first image or video
Ask the AI assistant to search the gallery for prompt inspiration, enhance your idea, or go straight to generation. Use the list_models tool to see all available backends and select the one best suited for your use case.
# Standalone CLI generation (no MCP client needed)
npx meigen gen --prompt "minimalist logo, geometric, blue gradient"
npx meigen gen -p "product photo" -m gpt-image-2 -r 1:1MeiGen AI Design Examples

}Prompts to try
Example prompts that leverage the gallery search, prompt enhancement, and multi-backend generation capabilities.
- "Search the design prompt gallery for 'product photography' and show me the top 3 prompts"
- "Enhance this brief into a full Midjourney prompt: a cozy coffee shop interior"
- "Generate an image using GPT Image 2.0: a modern app UI mockup on an iPhone, clean design"
- "List all available image generation models and their capabilities"
- "Generate a landscape-format hero image for a SaaS landing page using Nanobanana 2"Troubleshooting MeiGen AI Design
generate_image returns an authentication error
Check that MEIGEN_API_TOKEN is correctly set in the env block of your MCP config and that it starts with meigen_sk_. Regenerate a token at meigen.ai → Settings → API Keys if necessary.
ComfyUI workflow fails or returns a connection error
Ensure ComfyUI is running locally and the API is enabled. The default URL is http://localhost:8188; override it with COMFYUI_URL in your env block if you use a different port or address.
npx takes too long to start the server on first run
The first npx invocation downloads the package from npm and may take 30-60 seconds. Subsequent starts are faster. To speed things up, install globally with 'npm install -g meigen' and use 'meigen' as the command instead of npx.
