AI image generation and editing using ByteDance's Seedream models

MCP Seedream

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI image generation and editing using ByteDance's Seedream models through the AceDataCloud API.

  • Image Editing — Modify existing images with AI (style transfer, background change, virtual try-on)
  • Multiple Models — Seedream v4.5 (flagship), v4.0 (balanced), v3.0 T2I, SeedEdit v3.0 I2I
  • Multi-Resolution — 1K, 2K, 4K, adaptive, and custom dimensions
  • Seed Control — Reproducible results with seed parameter (v3 models)
  • Sequential Generation — Generate related images in sequence (v4.5/v4.0)
  • Streaming — Progressive image delivery (v4.5/v4.0)
  • Task Tracking — Monitor generation progress and retrieve results
