FAQ from MCPollinations Multimodal MCP Server

Is authentication required?

No, the server works without authentication on the free tier. You can optionally provide a Pollinations API token and referrer URL for enhanced access and better rate limits.

What are the system requirements?

Node.js version 14.0.0 or higher is required, with Node.js 16.0.0 or newer recommended for best performance and to avoid the need for an AbortController polyfill.

Which models are available for image generation?

Available models include flux (default), turbo, kontext, nanobanana, and seedream. Use listImageModels to see the current list.

Can I edit images locally?

The editImage and generateImageFromReference tools require publicly accessible HTTP(S) URLs. Local file paths or base64 data URLs are not supported; you must host the image online and provide the URL.

What is the default image output format?

When using generateImage, images are saved as PNG files by default, and base64-encoded image data is always returned regardless of file saving.
