1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the services provided by imagemcpserver.com ("Image MCP Server", "Platform", "We", "Us", or "Our"), including our website, Model Context Protocol (MCP) server endpoints, REST API, CLI authentication tool, and credit system, you ("User", "Developer", or "Customer") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.
If you are agreeing to these terms on behalf of a company, organization, or legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have full authority to bind that entity to this legally binding agreement.
2. Services Provided & MCP Tool Usage
Image MCP Server provides single-protocol image processing and generative AI capabilities built specifically for AI agents, LLM tool calling pipelines, and developer workflows.
The MCP server and REST API currently provide these tools:
- generate_image: Text-to-image generation with the model you select.
- generate_transparent_image: Text-to-image generation with the background removed.
- edit_image: Prompt-based edits to a whole image. There is no mask or region selection.
- remove_background: Cuts the subject out of an image you supply.
- upscale_image: One fixed upscale; there is no scale factor, and transparency is flattened to white.
- text_to_svg: Vector SVG artwork from a text description.
- compress_image: Re-encodes an image smaller and returns it as a base64 data URI.
- convert_format: Converts an image between formats such as PNG, JPEG, WebP and AVIF.
- multicall: Runs several of the calls above in one request.
We reserve the right to add, update, optimize, or deprecate specific backend AI model engines or API endpoints to ensure system quality and security.
3. Account Registration & API Key Security
You sign in to your account with Google or GitHub, and authenticate API and MCP server requests with a secret API key from your dashboard. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, secret API keys, and authorization headers.
Security Guidelines for Developers:
- Never commit your secret API key to public GitHub repositories or client-side web bundles.
- Store keys securely in environment variables (
IMAGEMCP_API_KEY). - Immediately regenerate your API key in the Dashboard if you suspect it has been compromised.
Image MCP Server is not liable for any credit losses, unauthorized API consumption, or data exposure resulting from compromised user API keys.
4. Billing, Subscription Plans & Credit System
Our service operates on a credit-deduction pricing model. Each API or MCP tool call deducts credits before it runs, and a call that fails is refunded automatically:
| Tool Operation | Credit Cost |
|---|---|
| Compress image / Convert format | 1 credit each |
| Text → SVG | 5 credits |
| Background removal | 8 credits |
| Upscale (one fixed upscale, no scale factor) | 15 credits |
| Generate or edit an image | 8, 15 or 30 credits, depending on the model |
| Generate a transparent image | The model's rate + 8 credits for the cutout |
| Multicall (batch) | The sum of the calls it contains |
On a paid plan you may connect your own OpenRouter key; image generation and editing then cost a flat 2 credits per call, and OpenRouter bills you for the model directly.
Plans & Credit Packs: The Free tier is a one-time grant of 30 credits on sign-up and is not refilled. Subscription plans (Starter, Pro, Enterprise) bill monthly and include the credits shown on the pricing page. Credit packs (from $10 for 300 credits) are one-time purchases. Credits are added to your balance, do not reset, and pack credits do not expire.
Refund Policy: Payments are processed via PCI-compliant payment partners (e.g., Dodo Payments). Unused credit packs are eligible for a refund within 14 days of purchase if fewer than 5% of purchased credits have been consumed.
5. Intellectual Property & Generation Ownership
User Output Ownership: As between you and Image MCP Server, to the extent permitted by law, you own all rights, title, and interest in and to the output images, SVGs, and processed assets generated using your prompts and input media.
Platform License: You grant Image MCP Server a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, process, cache, and transmit your input prompts and images solely to fulfill your requests, perform service improvements, and maintain system security.
No Model Training on Private Data: We do NOT sell your input data or generated images to third parties, nor do we use your private API inputs to train public foundational AI models without your explicit opt-in consent.
6. Acceptable Use Policy & Prohibited Acts
You agree not to use Image MCP Server for any illegal or restricted activities, including:
Violations will result in immediate API key revocation, account termination, and potential reporting to relevant law enforcement agencies.
7. Service Availability, SLAs & Rate Limits
While we strive for 99.9% uptime across the MCP server and REST API, services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.
Rate Limiting: API requests are rate limited per API key — currently 60 requests per minute, on every plan. If your agent script exceeds this, endpoints respond with HTTP Status 429 Too Many Requests.
8. Limitation of Liability & Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Image MCP Server and its officers, employees, or partners shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, or operational disruption.
In no event shall our total aggregate liability for all claims related to the service exceed the total amount paid by you to Image MCP Server during the 12 months preceding the claim.
9. Account Suspension & Termination
You may close your account at any time: email hello@imagemcpserver.com from the address on your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate account access immediately if you breach these terms or engage in fraudulent activities.
10. Governing Law & Legal Contact
These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable governing laws without regard to conflict of law principles.
