# Generate an image from your coding agent, no API key

Ask your agent for a picture.
The image comes back in the reply.

[Get the app](https://superbot.gg/download?cta%5Fid=page%5Finstall) [see a real call](https://superbot.gg/use-cases/generate-an-image-from-an-agent#call)

## What you get

superbot generates an image from a text prompt.

The reply carries the image as a PNG file.

You need no image key of your own.

## Ask your agent

Connect superbot to your client once.

```sh
claude mcp add --transport http superbot https://api.superbot.gg/mcp -s user
```

With no browser, post to the install route instead.

```sh
curl -fsS -X POST https://api.superbot.gg/mcp/install -d client=claude-code
```

Then your agent makes one call.

```
superbot({"intent": "Generate an image: a red fox sitting in a snowy forest, flat illustration. Square, lowest quality."})
```

An agent with no account signs in from [/auth.md](https://superbot.gg/auth.md), and you read back the code it emails you.
