Idea
Discovery
Source: Competitive analysis — Replicate and fal.ai both have MCP documentation
Evidence:
- Replicate: replicate.com/docs/reference/mcp
- fal.ai: docs.fal.ai/model-apis/mcp (Cursor-specific guide)
- r/mcp subreddit: 82K subscribers, active discussion of image MCP servers
- Third-party MCP servers for image generation on GitHub (seedream, flux, etc.)
Why This Matters
- Market expectation — Developers using Cursor/Claude Code expect MCP integration
- Competitor parity — Both major competitors have this documented
- Workflow-native positioning — This is our core value proposition
- SEO opportunity — "image generation mcp" emerging as search term
Potential Angles
Option A: Documentation page
/docs/mcp/ — Getting started with Banatie MCP server
- Cursor setup guide
- Claude Desktop integration
- Claude Code usage
- Example workflows
Option B: Tutorial blog post "How to Generate Images Without Leaving Your IDE"
- Shows full workflow
- Compares to API calls
- Code examples
Option C: Comparison "Banatie MCP vs Replicate MCP vs fal.ai MCP"
- Feature comparison
- Setup complexity
- Unique Live URLs capability
Keywords (to research when feature ships)
- "image generation mcp"
- "ai image mcp server"
- "cursor image generation"
- "claude code image generation"
- "mcp server image api"
Notes
- BLOCKED — Cannot publish until MCP feature ships
- Pre-write documentation draft now
- Launch content same day as feature release
- Emphasize Live URLs as unique MCP capability (neither competitor has this)
Differentiation Point
Key message: "Generate images via URL without writing API code"
// Competitor MCP:
"Generate an image of a sunset"
→ Returns image file/data
// Banatie MCP + Live URLs:
"Create a placeholder URL for product images"
→ Returns URL that generates on-demand
→ No storage, instant, shareable
This is our unique angle.
