# Idea
|
|
|
|
## Discovery
|
|
|
|
**Source:** Cursor Forum feature requests, GitHub issues, Replicate MCP launch
|
|
**Evidence:**
|
|
- Multiple feature requests on Cursor forum for image generation integration
|
|
- GitHub issue: "Why can't claude code analyze images?"
|
|
- Replicate launched MCP but lacks good tutorials
|
|
- FluxGen Product Hunt launch validates market need
|
|
|
|
## Why This Matters
|
|
|
|
1. **Search intent exists** — developers actively searching for this
|
|
2. **Replicate gap** — they launched MCP but documentation is technical, not tutorial
|
|
3. **Pain point validated** — multiple sources confirm context-switching frustration
|
|
4. **SEO opportunity** — "claude code image generation" likely low competition
|
|
|
|
## Potential Angle
|
|
|
|
Step-by-step tutorial:
|
|
1. What is MCP and why it matters for image generation
|
|
2. Setting up an MCP server for image generation
|
|
3. Example: generating hero images from Claude Code
|
|
4. Example: creating placeholder images automatically
|
|
5. Banatie as recommended solution (built-in CDN, consistency)
|
|
|
|
Include:
|
|
- Code snippets for mcp.json configuration
|
|
- Real examples with prompts
|
|
- Before/after workflow comparison

## Assessment
|
|
|
|
**Opportunity Score:** 🟡 Medium-Low
|
|
|
|
**Strengths:**
|
|
- Very low competition (both KD low/very low)
|
|
- Emerging topic — MCP ecosystem just gaining traction
|
|
- Early mover advantage — minimal existing content
|
|
- Clear pain point validation from forums/issues
|
|
|
|
**Challenges:**
|
|
- **Very low search volume** (10-30/month) — won't drive significant traffic
|
|
- Inconsistent trend — hasn't established stable pattern
|
|
- Niche within niche (Claude Code + MCP + images)
|
|
|
|
**Strategic Value:**
|
|
- **Brand building > traffic** — demonstrates expertise in cutting-edge tools
|
|
- Targets exact ICP (AI-first developers using Claude Code)
|
|
- Potential to rank #1 easily due to zero competition
|
|
- Could capture early adopters as MCP ecosystem grows
|
|
|
|
**Long-term Potential:**
|
|
- If MCP adoption accelerates, this could become high-value
|
|
- Currently ~10-30 searches/month, could grow 10-100x if MCP goes mainstream
|
|
- Historical parallel: early Docker tutorials (low volume → massive later)
|
|
|
|
**Recommendation:**
|
|
Good for **thought leadership** and **early positioning**, not for traffic. Write if:
|
|
1. You want to establish expertise in MCP ecosystem
|
|
2. You're betting on MCP growth
|
|
3. You have working solution to document (low effort)
|
|
|
|
Not a priority if traffic/SEO is primary goal.
