Codex image generation with one MCP server

Codex writes your UI; imageat fills it. Add the imageat MCP server to the Codex CLI and the IDE extension and app pick it up too, so Codex can generate the images a feature needs and commit them with the code.

Connect in two minutes

Free to connect. Generations use your imageat credits or prepaid API balance. Other assistants are one tab away.

Local server · Node.js 18+ and an API key

Add the server

One command for the Codex CLI. The IDE extension and app read the same config.

Or edit config.toml

The same server in ~/.codex/config.toml. Use a key from your Projects page.

~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.imageat]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@imageat/mcp"]
env = { IMAGEAT_API_KEY = "iat_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx" }
