Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose Prompt To Asset when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Multimedia Process domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
Generates app icons, favicons, OG images, logos, and wordmarks. Routes each request across 30+ image models. Runs without an API key via Cloudflare Workers AI, NVIDIA NIM, HuggingFace, or Stable Horde. Three modes: inline SVG, external prompt-only, or full API. Validates contrast, OCR text accuracy, and palette before returning.
AI media generation (Flux, Veo, Suno) with cost control. Pre-commit pricing, budget enforcement, reserve-burn-refund billing.

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Prompt To Asset Tools (24)
asset_capabilities
Report which of the three execution modes this server can run RIGHT NOW given the current env: inline_svg (zero key — hosting LLM authors the SVG), external_prompt_only (zero key — paste prompt into Ideogram/Nano Banana/Midjourney/Recraft/Flux UIs, then asset_ingest_external), api (requires provider key). Read-only; no network. Call before offering the user options.
asset_enhance_prompt
Classify an asset brief, route to the right model, rewrite the prompt in that model's dialect, and report which execution modes are available (inline_svg / external_prompt_only / api). Returns an AssetSpec JSON including modes_available, optional svg_brief (for inline_svg), optional paste_targets (for external_prompt_only), and — when the brief leaves a material ambiguity — a `clarifying_questions[]` array the host LLM should surface via AskUserQuestion (or the equivalent) BEFORE calling a generator. Each entry has {id, header, question, options[], required, why}. Read-only; idempotent; no network.
asset_generate_logo
Generate a logo. Three modes: inline_svg (Claude emits SVG — zero key), external_prompt_only (returns prompt + paste targets — zero key), api (server runs the provider pipeline — requires key). Omit mode to auto-select. Returns an AssetBundle / InlineSvgPlan / ExternalPromptPlan discriminated by the mode field.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Prompt To Asset is categorized under Multimedia Process and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Vap Showcase belongs to Multimedia Process using remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. Select Prompt To Asset when you need capabilities focused on multimedia process and Vap Showcase when you require tools for multimedia process.
Generate an app icon (iOS AppIconSet, Android adaptive, PWA maskable, visionOS 1024² master + placeholder parallax layers). Three modes (inline_svg / external_prompt_only / api). In non-api modes only the master mark is produced; call asset_ingest_external afterwards to run the platform fan-out. Set ios_18_appearances=true to also emit dark and tinted 1024² variants for iOS 18 tintable icons.
asset_generate_favicon
Generate a favicon bundle (favicon-{16,32,48}.png + icon.svg + icon-dark.svg + apple-touch + PWA 192/512/512-maskable + <link> snippet). Three modes — inline_svg is the best fit for simple glyph marks (legible at 16×16).
asset_generate_og_image
Render a 1200×630 OG image via Satori template (deterministic typography, no diffusion). Default mode=api renders server-side without any API key. external_prompt_only is only meaningful when with_background_image is set. inline_svg is not supported (web-font loading + precise text layout beyond LLM reach).
asset_generate_illustration
Generate one or more brand-locked illustrations. Two modes (external_prompt_only / api); inline_svg is not supported — path budget too small for a composed scene. Injects brand bundle (palette, style_refs, LoRA, style_id) where supported.
asset_generate_splash_screen
Generate a cross-platform splash-screen bundle from a brand mark. Two modes (external_prompt_only / api); inline_svg is not supported (splash screens are PNG bundles — generate a logo inline_svg first, then call this with existing_mark_svg). api mode composites the mark onto background_color and emits ios/LaunchScreen-2732.png, android/mipmap-*dpi/splash.png, android/themes-splash.xml, pwa/splash-1200.png, and a README describing how to wire each.
asset_generate_hero
Generate marketing-hero / landing-page banner art. Two modes (external_prompt_only / api); inline_svg is not supported. Accepts aspect_ratio (16:9 / 21:9 / 3:2 / 2:1). Injects brand bundle where supported. Returns N variants if count>1.
asset_remove_background
Matte an image to transparent background (BiRefNet / BRIA RMBG / U²-Net via remote endpoint; local white-chroma fallback). Returns RGBA PNG path.
asset_vectorize
Convert a raster image to SVG. Tries in order: Recraft /vectorize (if PROMPT_TO_BUNDLE_RECRAFT_VECTORIZE_URL is set), vtracer on PATH, potrace on PATH, then a built-in posterize run-length fallback. Passes all output through SVGO when installed.
asset_upscale_refine
Upscale / refine an image, asset-type-aware. DAT2 for flat logos/icons, Real-ESRGAN/SUPIR for photoreal, img2img for diffusion polish. Lanczos fallback.
