Black Forest Labs MCP Server NPM Version

Deprecated in favor of the official MCP server, now available!

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with tools to generate images using the Black Forest Labs API. This server enables text-to-image generation using FLUX models.

Features

  • Tool to generate images using FLUX models
  • Resources to check request status and download generated images

Prerequisites

  • Node 22+
  • Black Forest Labs API key

MCP Configuration

Add this server to your .mcp.json:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bfl": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@fernforestgames/mcp-server-bfl"
      ],
      "env": {
        "BFL_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Usage

Once configured, you can ask your AI assistant to generate images:

  • "Generate an image of a sunset over mountains"
  • "Create a high-resolution photo of a cat using FLUX Pro Ultra"

By default, the server automatically polls the BFL API until image generation is complete and returns the image URL (valid for 10 minutes). You can also ask your AI assistant to download the image result directly.

Use Black Forest Labs MCP with multiple AI models

TypingMind connects MCP tools at the workspace level, so once Black Forest Labs is connected, you can use it with different AI models in TypingMind instead of setting it up separately for each model. This MCP runs locally through the TypingMind MCP connector on your device.

Setup guide to use the local connector

Use this when the MCP server needs access to local files, apps, or private resources on your computer.

In TypingMind, go to Settings, Advanced Settings, then Model Context Protocol and choose Setup Connector.

  1. Open TypingMind in your browser.
  2. Click the Settings icon.
  3. Go to Advanced Settings.
  4. Open the Model Context Protocol section.
  5. Click Setup Connector and choose This Device.
