Install
Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"forgemesh-imagegen": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "forgemesh-imagegen"],
"env": {
"WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x...",
"PYRIMID_AFFILIATE_ID": "af_your_id"
}
}
}
}
Claude Code
claude mcp add forgemesh-imagegen -- npx -y forgemesh-imagegen
Then set the env var:
export WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...
Requirements
- A Base mainnet wallet private key with USDC
- $1 USDC ≈ 4 base images, 2 clean, 2 HD, or 1 pro
- No other API keys needed
Get USDC on Base: Coinbase → Bridge to Base, or buy directly on Base.
Example usage
generate_image(prompt="a red panda in a spacesuit", aspect="1:1")
→ { image_url: "https://...", prompt: "...", aspect: "1:1", tier: "image" }
generate_image(prompt="a red panda in a spacesuit", affiliate_id="af_your_id")
→ routes through Pyrimid product 3 with no extra cost to the caller
generate_clean(prompt="a product photo of a ceramic mug")
→ { image_url: "https://...", tier: "clean" } // transparent PNG
generate_hd(prompt="a futuristic city at night, cyberpunk style")
→ { image_url: "https://...", tier: "hd" } // 4096x4096
generate_pro(prompt="a logo mark, geometric eagle")
→ { image_url: "https://...", tier: "pro" } // transparent + HD
How it works
Each tool call makes an HTTP request to the ForgeMesh imagegen service gated by the x402 protocol. If payment is required, the MCP automatically signs and broadcasts a USDC transfer from your wallet on Base mainnet — then retries the request. You see the result, your wallet is charged, no manual steps.
- Network: Base mainnet (eip155:8453)
- Token: USDC
- Protocol: x402
