Everything that's new at Inliner

A rebuilt Studio with smart URLs and AI editing, team accounts with API keys, a CLI for your terminal, and an MCP server so AI agents can generate images directly.

Inliner Studio โ€” AI image generation with smart URLs
Terminal — CLI
# Install the CLI
npm install -g @inliner/cli
# Generate an image with smart mode
inliner-ai "hero-banner-startup-landing_1200x630.png" -p mysite
→ https://img.inliner.ai/mysite/hero-banner-startup-landing_1200x630.png
# Edit an existing image
inliner-ai edit photo.png "remove the background, add soft shadow"
→ Saved to photo-edited.png
MCP Server — AI Agent Integration
# One-line setup for Claude Code
claude mcp add inliner -- npx @inliner/mcp-server
# Then just ask your AI agent:
"Add a hero image to the landing page for my acme-corp project"
"Generate a happy duck image and save it to ./images/duck.png"
"How many image credits do I have left?"
# 11 tools available: generate, edit, projects, usage & more
→ Works with Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf

A completely rebuilt AI Studio

The new Studio isn't an update โ€” it's a full rebuild. Every workflow has been redesigned around speed, precision, and a non-destructive editing model that keeps your originals safe.

  • Smart URLs: AI generates SEO-friendly slugs from your prompt with automatic dimension suffixes like golden-retriever_900x500.png
  • Natural language dimensions: just type "800 pixels wide" or "900x500" and it works
  • AI editing: "add a sunset", "remove the background", "make it vintage" โ€” edits create new variants, originals stay intact
  • Resize & outpainting: 9-point anchor, aspect ratio lock, AI canvas expansion, optional upscaling
  • Text overlays: drag-and-drop with full typography โ€” font, size, weight, color, background, opacity
  • Style modifiers: photorealistic, 3D, pixel art, lighting, mood, color palette โ€” prompt preview shows results before you generate
  • Batch generation: 1 or 4 variations per click; recent images panel with edit, resize, overlay, copy URL, delete
  • Reference images: multi-reference library per project to guide style consistently

Team collaboration with Inliner

Generate images from your terminal

@inliner/cli brings AI image generation to the command line. Smart mode, Unix pipes, GitHub Actions โ€” no browser needed. Perfect for developers and CI/CD pipelines.

# Install globally (or use npx)
npm install -g @inliner/cli

# Set your API key once
export INLINER_API_KEY=inl_your_key_here

# Smart mode โ€” just describe what you need
inliner-ai "professional-team-modern-office_1200x600.png" -p mysite

# Pipe into other tools
inliner-ai "fluffy cats 900x900" | convert - output.jpg
  • Commands: generate, edit, inline, images, projects, usage
  • Smart mode: parses description, dimensions, and format from a single string
  • Output: URL to TTY, raw bytes when piped, -o file to save
  • CI/CD: use in GitHub Actions with INLINER_API_KEY in secrets to auto-generate OG/Twitter images

Let your AI agent generate images

@inliner/mcp-server implements the Model Context Protocol so Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and Windsurf can call Inliner tools directly โ€” no copy-paste, no context switching.

# Claude Code โ€” one command
claude mcp add inliner -- npx @inliner/mcp-server

# Cursor / VS Code โ€” .cursor/mcp.json
{
  "inliner": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["@inliner/mcp-server"],
    "env": { "INLINER_API_KEY": "inl_..." }
  }
}

11 tools available to your agent:

generate_image_url
generate_image
create_image
edit_image
get_projects
create_project
get_project_details
get_usage
get_current_plan
list_images
get_image_dimensions

Everything under the hood

Smart URL Format

Images are self-describing CDN URLs โ€” embed directly in HTML, Markdown, or code. No uploads, no hosting.

Advanced Resize

9-point anchor, aspect ratio lock, quick presets, AI outpainting, and optional upscaling โ€” all in one tool.

Text & Watermark Overlay

Drag-and-drop text with 9-point alignment, full typography control: font, size, color, background, opacity.

Reference Images

Upload references to guide the AI's style. Per-project libraries keep your visual identity consistent.

API Keys

Format inl_โ€ฆ. Optional expiry, instant revoke. Use in env vars for the CLI, MCP, or direct API.

Role-Based Access

Owners manage billing, keys, and analytics. Members generate and edit โ€” no access to sensitive settings.

CI/CD Integration

Auto-generate OG images, Twitter cards, and product visuals in GitHub Actions โ€” zero manual steps.

Project Namespaces

Organize images by project. Each project gets its own URL namespace, reference library, and settings.
