Imagcon MCP Server - install, status & alternatives [2026]

01 · Install Imagcon

before you install - you'll need

IMAGCON_API_KEY

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add explorer-64-imagcon-mcp --transport http https://mcp.imagcon.app/

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "explorer-64-imagcon-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.imagcon.app/"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

03 · What Imagcon can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can save a generated image to your gallery by image_key and name, list all saved source images with keys and preview URLs, generate a PWA install pack from an already-saved image_key. Returns html_head + a signed ZIP URL, and list saved icon sets with IDs.
