CAST Imaging

Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

claude mcp add --transport stdio cast-imaging --env "HOST_CONTROL_PANEL=<YOUR_HOST_CONTROL_PANEL>" --env "SERVICE_HOST=<YOUR_SERVICE_HOST>" -- docker run -i --rm docker.io/castimaging/imaging-mcp-server:3.0.4

2. Start Claude Code and type /mcp. cast-imaging should show as connected.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Claude Desktop

1. Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config. It opens claude_desktop_config.json. Add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cast-imaging": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-e",
        "HOST_CONTROL_PANEL",
        "-e",
        "SERVICE_HOST",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "docker.io/castimaging/imaging-mcp-server:3.0.4"
      ],
      "env": {
        "HOST_CONTROL_PANEL": "<YOUR_HOST_CONTROL_PANEL>",
        "SERVICE_HOST": "<YOUR_SERVICE_HOST>"
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Save the file and restart Claude Desktop. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Needs Docker on your computer. The file lives in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS and %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows.

Cursor

Add to Cursor (opens in a new tab)

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cast-imaging": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-e",
        "HOST_CONTROL_PANEL",
        "-e",
        "SERVICE_HOST",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "docker.io/castimaging/imaging-mcp-server:3.0.4"
      ],
      "env": {
        "HOST_CONTROL_PANEL": "<YOUR_HOST_CONTROL_PANEL>",
        "SERVICE_HOST": "<YOUR_SERVICE_HOST>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Needs Docker on your computer. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

VS Code

Install in VS Code (opens in a new tab)

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"cast-imaging","type":"stdio","command":"docker","args":["run","-e","HOST_CONTROL_PANEL","-e","SERVICE_HOST","-i","--rm","docker.io/castimaging/imaging-mcp-server:3.0.4"],"env":{"HOST_CONTROL_PANEL":"<YOUR_HOST_CONTROL_PANEL>","SERVICE_HOST":"<YOUR_SERVICE_HOST>"}}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "cast-imaging": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-e",
        "HOST_CONTROL_PANEL",
        "-e",
        "SERVICE_HOST",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "docker.io/castimaging/imaging-mcp-server:3.0.4"
      ],
      "env": {
        "HOST_CONTROL_PANEL": "<YOUR_HOST_CONTROL_PANEL>",
        "SERVICE_HOST": "<YOUR_SERVICE_HOST>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Needs Docker on your computer.

Devin Desktop

1. Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cast-imaging": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-e",
        "HOST_CONTROL_PANEL",
        "-e",
        "SERVICE_HOST",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "docker.io/castimaging/imaging-mcp-server:3.0.4"
      ],
      "env": {
        "HOST_CONTROL_PANEL": "<YOUR_HOST_CONTROL_PANEL>",
        "SERVICE_HOST": "<YOUR_SERVICE_HOST>"
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf.

Codex

codex mcp add cast-imaging --env "HOST_CONTROL_PANEL=<YOUR_HOST_CONTROL_PANEL>" --env "SERVICE_HOST=<YOUR_SERVICE_HOST>" -- docker run -i --rm docker.io/castimaging/imaging-mcp-server:3.0.4

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

[mcp_servers.cast-imaging]
command = "docker"
args = ["run", "-i", "--rm", "docker.io/castimaging/imaging-mcp-server:3.0.4"]
env = { HOST_CONTROL_PANEL = "<YOUR_HOST_CONTROL_PANEL>", SERVICE_HOST = "<YOUR_SERVICE_HOST>" }

Needs Docker on your computer. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add -e "HOST_CONTROL_PANEL=<YOUR_HOST_CONTROL_PANEL>" -e "SERVICE_HOST=<YOUR_SERVICE_HOST>" cast-imaging docker -- run -i --rm docker.io/castimaging/imaging-mcp-server:3.0.4

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients that start local servers accept this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cast-imaging": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-e",
        "HOST_CONTROL_PANEL",
        "-e",
        "SERVICE_HOST",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "docker.io/castimaging/imaging-mcp-server:3.0.4"
      ],
      "env": {
        "HOST_CONTROL_PANEL": "<YOUR_HOST_CONTROL_PANEL>",
        "SERVICE_HOST": "<YOUR_SERVICE_HOST>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings, with the same command, args and env fields.

Needs Docker on your computer. Replace the placeholders with your own values.
