VPick Image Generator

Multi-model AI image generation on a visual canvas β€” Midjourney, Grok, nano-banana, Seedream β€” with reference image support, style transfer, and batch generation. Powered by VPick.

Security & Data Handling

  • Authentication: Your MCP link contains an embedded token β€” no separate API keys or credentials are needed or sent. Treat your MCP link like a password.
  • Data flow: All generation requests go through VPick's server (vpick.10xboost.org on Google Cloud). VPick routes requests to third-party AI model providers (Midjourney, Grok, Seedream, etc.) on your behalf. Your prompts and uploaded reference images are sent to these providers for processing.
  • Storage: Generated images are stored in Google Cloud Storage under your VPick account.
  • No local credentials: This skill does not require any local API keys, environment variables, or secrets.
  • Billing: Generation costs are charged to your VPick credit balance, not directly to any third-party service.
  • Prerequisites

    1. Sign up at vpick.10xboost.org (Google OAuth β€” new users get $1 free credit) 2. Get your MCP link: Go to Settings β†’ copy your MCP Server URL (contains your auth token) 3. Add to Claude: Paste the MCP link into Claude settings as a Connector β€” no install, no API keys needed

    Available Image Models

    | Model | Cost | Output | Best For | |-------|------|--------|----------| | nano-banana-2 | $0.16/image | 1 image | Default, fast, multi-reference support | | Midjourney Relaxed | $0.045/grid | 4 images (grid) | Budget artistic generation | | Midjourney Fast | $0.12/grid | 4 images (grid) | Quick artistic generation | | Midjourney Turbo | $0.24/grid | 4 images (grid) | Fastest Midjourney | | Grok Imagine | $0.06/call | 6 images (T2I) or 2 (I2I) | Budget bulk generation | | Seedream 5.0 Lite | $0.0825/image | 1 image (2K) | High resolution, affordable | | Seedream 5.0 HD | $0.0825/image | 1 image (3K) | Ultra high resolution |

    Aspect Ratios: 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 3:4, 4:3 (all models)

    Core Workflow

    Step 1: Set Up

    Check user's canvas and project:

    get_canvas          β†’ See current state
    list_projects       β†’ Check existing projects
    create_project      β†’ Start fresh if needed
    

    Step 2: Create Image Generator Node

    add_node(type: "image-generator", name: "My Image")
    

    Step 3: Set the Prompt

    Option A β€” Direct prompt:

    update_node(id: "", data: { prompt: "a cyberpunk cityscape at sunset, neon lights, rain reflections" })
    

    Option B β€” Connect a Text node:

    add_node(type: "text", name: "Prompt", data: { content: "a cyberpunk cityscape at sunset" })
    connect_nodes(sourceId: "", targetId: "", sourceHandle: "text-out", targetHandle: "prompt-in")
    

    Step 4: Add Reference Images (Optional)

    Reference images guide the generation style or subject. Up to 10 reference images supported.

    upload_image(url: "https://example.com/reference.jpg")
    connect_nodes(sourceId: "", targetId: "", sourceHandle: "file-out", targetHandle: "image-in")
    

    Use @NodeLabel in prompts to reference connected images:

    "A portrait in the style of @reference, vibrant colors"
    

    The @reference is resolved at generation time to the connected image URL.

    Step 5: Generate

    run_image_generator(
      nodeId: "",
      prompt: "a cyberpunk cityscape at sunset, neon lights",
      model: "nano-banana-2",
      aspectRatio: "16:9"
    )
    

    Midjourney-specific options:

    run_image_generator(
      nodeId: "",
      prompt: "a cyberpunk cityscape at sunset",
      model: "midjourney",
      aspectRatio: "16:9",
      mjSpeed: "fast",        // "relaxed", "fast", "turbo"
      mjVersion: "7.0"        // Midjourney version
    )
    

    Grok β€” auto-detects T2I vs I2I:

  • No reference image β†’ Text-to-Image (6 images)
  • With reference image β†’ Image-to-Image (2 images)
  • Step 6: Browse Results

    Models may generate multiple images:

  • Midjourney: 4-image grid β€” browse via currentImageIndex (0-3)
  • Grok: 6 images (T2I) or 2 images (I2I)
  • Others: 1 image
  • Check results:

    get_node(id: "")   β†’ See generatedImageUrl, status
    list_nodes                      β†’ Overview of all nodes
    

    Step 7: Use Generated Images

    Generated images can be used as input for:

  • Video generation: Connect to VideoGenerator's start-image-in port
  • More image generation: Connect as reference for another ImageGenerator
  • Character consistency: Use as Element reference in MultiShot video
  • connect_nodes(sourceId: "", targetId: "", sourceHandle: "image-out", targetHandle: "start-image-in")
    

    Common Use Cases

    Character Design (White Background References)

    For video production, generate character references on white backgrounds:
    run_image_generator(
      nodeId: "",
      prompt: "full body portrait of a young woman, casual outfit, white background, isolated figure, front view",
      model: "nano-banana-2",
      aspectRatio: "3:4"
    )
    
    Generate multiple angles (front, side, 3/4) for use as MultiShot Elements.

    Batch Generation

    Create multiple ImageGenerator nodes and generate in parallel:
    add_node(type: "image-generator", name: "Variant A")
    add_node(type: "image-generator", name: "Variant B")
    add_node(type: "image-generator", name: "Variant C")
    run_image_generator(nodeId: "", prompt: "sunset beach, warm tones", model: "midjourney")
    run_image_generator(nodeId: "", prompt: "sunset beach, cool tones", model: "grok-imagine")
    run_image_generator(nodeId: "", prompt: "sunset beach, dramatic", model: "nano-banana-2")
    

    Style Transfer with References

    upload_image(url: "https://example.com/style-reference.jpg")
    connect_nodes(sourceId: "", targetId: "", sourceHandle: "file-out", targetHandle: "image-in")
    run_image_generator(
      nodeId: "",
      prompt: "a portrait in the style of @style-reference, detailed, high quality",
      model: "nano-banana-2"
    )
    

    Organize Your Canvas

    Keep things tidy:

    auto_layout(nodeIds: [...], direction: "horizontal", spacing: 200)
    create_group(nodeIds: [...], overrides: { label: "Character Designs", color: "#E57373" })
    

    Check Usage & History

    list_generated_files(limit: 20, model: "midjourney")   β†’ Recent generations filtered by model
    get_generation_stats                                     β†’ Cost breakdown by model
    

    Tips

  • nano-banana-2 is the best default β€” fast, affordable, supports multi-reference
  • Midjourney excels at artistic/stylized images β€” use relaxed speed to save cost
  • Grok is the cheapest for bulk generation ($0.06 for 6 images)
  • Seedream produces the highest resolution (up to 3K)
  • White background images are essential for video Element references
  • @NodeLabel references are resolved at generation time β€” make sure labels match exactly
  • Use list_models tool to check current pricing and available models
  • Error Handling

    | Error | Solution | |-------|----------| | Generation timeout | Auto-retries up to 2 times; check status with get_node | | Insufficient credits | Top up at vpick.10xboost.org | | Invalid aspect ratio | Use: 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 3:4, or 4:3 | | Reference not resolved | Ensure @NodeLabel matches the connected node's label exactly | | Node not found | Use list_nodes to get current node IDs |
