Mcp Drawthings

james-see/mcp-drawthings

Connects LLMs to Draw Things, the local Stable Diffusion app for Mac, so you can generate images without cloud APIs. Exposes text-to-image generation, image-to-image transformation, and configuration queries over Draw Things' local HTTP server on port 7860. Works entirely on-device using Apple Silicon. You'd reach for this when you want Claude or Cursor to create images during a conversation without leaving your machine or burning API credits. Saves generated images to your Pictures folder by default. Requires Draw Things installed with its API server enabled, which takes about thirty seconds to set up in the app settings.
