# Leonardo MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Leonardo AI, supporting both `HTTP` and `stdio` modes.
## Features
- Create image generation jobs with Leonardo AI
- See available models
- Check the status of image generation jobs
- Get all the user's image generation jobs
- Supports both `HTTP` and `stdio` transports
## Installation
[//]: # (Instructions for different clients)
### JSON Config
Support for Claude Desktop, Cursor and other MCP clients that use JSON config files.
[//]: # (Note, warning, tip)
> [!IMPORTANT]
> You will need to [generate a Leonardo API key](https://docs.leonardo.ai/docs/create-your-api-key) and set it in the environment variable `LEONARDO_API_KEY` before running the server.

## Demo

## Running Modes
This server supports two modes:
- **HTTP mode** (default):
- Suitable for remote clients (e.g., ChatGPT Playground, browser-based tools).
- The server runs an HTTP endpoint. You must expose it to the internet if your client is remote.
- **Stdio mode**:
- Suitable for local clients that communicate over standard input/output (stdio).
- No network port is opened.
### HTTP Mode (for remote clients)
Start the server in HTTP mode (default):
```sh
uvx --from git+https://github.com/ish-joshi/leonardo-mcp-server leonardo-mcp-server
```
If your client is remote (e.g., ChatGPT Playground), you must expose your local server to the internet. You can use [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) or a similar tunneling tool:
```sh
ngrok http 8080
```
Copy the public URL from ngrok and use it as the endpoint in your client.
### Stdio Mode (for local clients)
Start the server in stdio mode:
```sh
uvx --from git+https://github.com/ish-joshi/leonardo-mcp-server leonardo-mcp-server stdio
```
## Environment Variables
- `LEONARDO_API_KEY` (required): Your Leonardo AI API key.
## Development
- Edit `main.py` to add or modify MCP tools.
- Run using `python main.py` and test with a compatible MCP client. I prefer to use [5ire](https://5ire.app/) MCP client for testing.
- See [python-sdk documentation](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk) for more info.
