I Added Image Generation to My Claude MCP Agent in 10 Minutes

#mcp #claude #python #ai

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is having a moment. Since Anthropic donated the protocol to the Linux Foundation in December 2025, adoption has exploded.

But here is the thing most MCP tutorials miss: managing agents is only half the equation. The other half is giving those agents real generative AI superpowers.

That is where NexaAPI comes in.

What You Need

Claude Code (or any MCP-compatible client)
Python 3.9+ or Node.js 18+
A free NexaAPI account (sign up on RapidAPI: https://rapidapi.com/user/nexaquency)

Step 1: Install the SDK

pip install nexaapi

Step 2: Image Generation in Your Agent

from nexaapi import NexaAPI

client = NexaAPI(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

def generate_image(prompt: str) -> str:
    result = client.image.generate(
        model="flux-schnell",
        prompt=prompt,
        width=1024,
        height=1024
    )
    return result.url

url = generate_image("A robot reading code in a neon-lit server room, cyberpunk style")
print(f"Generated: {url}")

Step 3: Add Video Generation

def generate_video(prompt: str, duration: int = 5) -> str:
    result = client.video.generate(
        model="kling-video-v3-pro",
        prompt=prompt,
        duration=duration
    )
    return result.url

Step 4: Add Voice (TTS)

def text_to_speech(text: str, voice: str = "alloy") -> str:
    result = client.audio.tts(text=text, voice=voice)
    return result.url

JavaScript Version

import NexaAPI from "nexaapi";

const client = new NexaAPI({ apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY" });

const generateImage = async (prompt, style = "photorealistic") => {
  const result = await client.image.generate({
    model: "flux-schnell",
    prompt: prompt + ", " + style + " style",
    width: 1024,
    height: 1024
  });
  return result.url;
};

Why NexaAPI?
