}
Usage
The server provides one tool: generate_image
Using generate_image
This tool has only one required parameter - the prompt. All other parameters are optional and use sensible defaults if not provided.
Parameters
{
// Required
prompt: string; // Text description of the image to generate
// Optional with defaults
model?: string; // Default: "black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell-Free"
width?: number; // Default: 1024 (min: 128, max: 2048)
height?: number; // Default: 768 (min: 128, max: 2048)
steps?: number; // Default: 1 (min: 1, max: 100)
n?: number; // Default: 1 (max: 4)
response_format?: string; // Default: "b64_json" (options: ["b64_json", "url"])
image_path?: string; // Optional: Path to save the generated image as PNG
}
Minimal Request Example
Only the prompt is required:
{
"name": "generate_image",
"arguments": {
"prompt": "A serene mountain landscape at sunset"
}
}
Full Request Example with Image Saving
Override any defaults and specify a path to save the image:
{
"name": "generate_image",
"arguments": {
"prompt": "A serene mountain landscape at sunset",
"width": 1024,
"height": 768,
"steps": 20,
"n": 1,
"response_format": "b64_json",
"model": "black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell-Free",
"image_path": "/path/to/save/image.png"
}
}
Response Format
The response will be a JSON object containing:
{
"id": string, // Generation ID
"model": string, // Model used
"object": "list",
"data": [
{
"timings": {
"inference": number // Time taken for inference
},
"index": number, // Image index
"b64_json": string // Base64 encoded image data (if response_format is "b64_json")
// OR
"url": string // URL to generated image (if response_format is "url")
}
]
}
If image_path was provided and the save was successful, the response will include confirmation of the save location.
Default Values
If not specified in the request, these defaults are used:
- model: "black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell-Free"
- width: 1024
- height: 768
- steps: 1
- n: 1
- response_format: "b64_json"
Important Notes
- Only the
promptparameter is required - All optional parameters use defaults if not provided
- When provided, parameters must meet their constraints (e.g., width/height ranges)
- Base64 responses can be large - use URL format for larger images
- When saving images, ensure the specified directory exists and is writable

FAQ
- What is the Together AI (Flux.1 Schnell) MCP server?
- Together AI (Flux.1 Schnell) is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
- How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
- Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
- How are reviews shown for Together AI (Flux.1 Schnell)?
- This profile displays 33 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.8 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.

- +Document configuration for team members
- +Use environment variables for sensitive configuration
✗ Don't
- −Don't grant overly permissive access to MCP servers
- −Don't skip reading security considerations in docs
- −Don't expose sensitive data without proper controls
- −Don't run untrusted MCP servers without code review
- −Don't ignore error messages—investigate root cause
💡 Pro Tips
- ★Combine multiple MCP servers for powerful workflows
- ★Create custom MCP servers for your specific needs
- ★Share successful configurations with team
- ★Use MCP inspector for debugging
- ★Join MCP community for tips and troubleshooting
Technical Details▌
Architecture
Model Context Protocol standardizes how AI hosts (Claude, Cursor) communicate with external tools and data sources through server implementations.
Protocols
- Model Context Protocol (MCP)
- JSON-RPC 2.0
- stdio or HTTP transport
Compatibility
- Claude Desktop
- Cursor IDE
- Custom MCP clients
When to Use This▌
✓ Use When
Use when you need Claude to access external data, execute actions, or integrate with tools. Best for extending AI capabilities beyond conversation.
✗ Avoid When
Avoid when native integrations exist (use official APIs directly), for real-time critical systems, or when security/compliance requires zero external dependencies.
Integration▌
- →Tool composition: Chain multiple MCP tools in workflows
- →Context augmentation: Provide AI with relevant external data
- →Action delegation: Let AI execute tasks on external systems
- →Bidirectional sync: Keep AI context and external systems in sync
