MCP Flux
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI image generation and editing using Flux through the AceDataCloud platform.
Generate and edit stunning AI images with Flux models (flux-dev, flux-pro, flux-kontext) directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.
Features
- 🎨 Image Generation — Generate images from text prompts with 6 Flux models
- ✏️ Image Editing — Edit existing images with context-aware Flux Kontext models
- 🔄 Task Management — Track async generation tasks and batch status queries
- 📋 Model Guide — Built-in model selection and prompt writing guidance
- 🌐 Dual Transport — stdio (local) and HTTP (remote/cloud) modes
- 🐳 Docker Ready — Containerized with K8s deployment manifests
- 🔒 Secure — Bearer token auth with per-request isolation in HTTP mode
Quick Start
Install from PyPI
pip install mcp-flux-pro
Configure API Token
Get your API token from AceDataCloud Platform:
export ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN="your_api_token_here"
Run the Server
# stdio mode (for Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.)
mcp-flux-pro
# HTTP mode (for remote/cloud deployment)
mcp-flux-pro --transport http --port 8000
Claude Desktop Integration
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"flux": {
"command": "mcp-flux-pro",
"env": {
"ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
}
}
}
}
Or using uvx (no install required):
{
"mcpServers": {
"flux": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-flux-pro"],
"env": {
"ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
}
}
}
}
Cursor Integration
Add to your Cursor MCP configuration (.cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"flux": {
"command": "mcp-flux-pro",
"env": {
"ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
}
}
}
}
Remote HTTP Mode
For cloud deployment or shared servers:
mcp-flux-pro --transport http --port 8000
Connect from clients using the HTTP endpoint:
{
"mcpServers": {
"flux": {
"url": "https://flux.mcp.acedata.cloud/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer your_api_token_here"
}
}
}
}
