We auto-extract tools from the README. The maintainer can list them under a ## Tools heading to populate this section.

Overview

What is GIMP-MCP?

GIMP-MCP integrates the Model Context Protocol (MCP) into the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), enabling seamless interaction between GIMP and AI models. It is designed for users who want to harness advanced AI capabilities directly within GIMP for intelligent image editing and automation.

How to use GIMP-MCP?

Install prerequisites (GIMP 2.10+, Python 3.x), clone the MCP servers repository, install dependencies (pip install -r requirements.txt), and run the MCP server (python mcp_server.py). Place the gimp_mcp_plugin.py file into GIMP’s plugin directory, make it executable (Linux/macOS), and restart GIMP. Access AI tools under Filters > AI Tools (e.g., Remove Background, Inpaint Selection). Use human‑AI prompts like “Identify and select all objects” or “Apply Van Gogh’s Starry Night style.”

Key features of GIMP-MCP

  • Connect GIMP with state‑of‑the‑art AI models.
  • Automate repetitive image‑editing tasks.
  • Context‑aware manipulations (object recognition, style transfer).
  • AI‑powered background removal and inpainting.
  • Predefined human‑AI interaction prompts.
  • API commands for scripting (e.g., gimp_image_new, gimp_file_save).

Use cases of GIMP-MCP

  • Automatically remove or replace backgrounds using AI.
  • Fill missing or corrupted image regions with AI‑based inpainting.
  • Apply artistic style transfers (e.g., Van Gogh’s Starry Night).
  • Enhance image resolution and reduce noise intelligently.
  • Identify and categorize objects within an image.
