mediagen — Claude Code MCP server for image and video generation
Create images and video from agent requests, edit existing images, and save the results to files. Useful when a project needs generated media without leaving the coding workflow.
claude mcp add mediagen -- npx -y mediagenWhat mediagen does
mediagen routes requests to Google Gemini, OpenAI, or Kie AI. The agent can select a provider or follow your choices for the model, aspect ratio, size, and output filename. It can also edit an existing image and add an AI-generated label to the result.
You need Node.js 20.11 or later and an API key for at least one provider. Run npx -y mediagen init to configure a key, then add the MCP server to Claude Code. Avoid passing a key as a command-line argument: the project warns that arguments can remain in shell history and the process list.
What it helps with
- generate a hero image from a text brief
- create video with an available provider
- edit an image already in the project
- save generated media under a chosen filename
- label an image as AI-generated
Example prompts for the agent
- Create a wide, moody industrial hero image for the landing page.
- Generate a video from this description and save it in the project folder.
- Edit
hero.pngand add a visible AI-generated label.
