MCP Overview

FloImg provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI agents generate images as part of their workflows.

MCP is a protocol that enables AI assistants like Claude to use external tools. With FloImg’s MCP server, AI agents can:

  • Generate charts and visualizations
  • Create diagrams and flowcharts
  • Produce QR codes
  • Capture screenshots
  • Transform and save images

AI agents need deterministic image generation:

Slow (seconds)Fast (milliseconds)
ExpensiveFree / cheap
Hallucinates dataAccurate to input

For data visualizations, diagrams, and functional images, FloImg gives agents reliable, reproducible results.

Terminal window
npm install -g @teamflojo/floimg-mcp

Add FloImg to your MCP configuration:

{
"mcpServers": {
"floimg": {
"command": "floimg-mcp",
"args": []
}
}
}

The AI can now use FloImg tools:

“Create a bar chart showing Q1-Q4 revenue: $12k, $19k, $15k, $25k”

The agent will call the FloImg MCP tool to generate the chart.

The MCP server exposes these tools to AI agents:
