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
- Search intent exists — developers actively searching for this
- Replicate gap — they launched MCP but documentation is technical, not tutorial
- Pain point validated — multiple sources confirm context-switching frustration
- SEO opportunity — "claude code image generation" likely low competition
Potential Angle
Step-by-step tutorial:
- What is MCP and why it matters for image generation
- Setting up an MCP server for image generation
- Example: generating hero images from Claude Code
- Example: creating placeholder images automatically
- 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:
- You want to establish expertise in MCP ecosystem
- You're betting on MCP growth
- You have working solution to document (low effort)
Not a priority if traffic/SEO is primary goal.
