Dreamlayer tools (7, 1 write)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • dreamlayer_balance

    Use before paid image work to check available credits for this API key. Returns promotional, purchased, available and credit_usd. Compare the complete rounded quote against available; separately rounded buckets may sum to 0.1 less. Costs no credits and does not buy credits. Resolve authentication or balance errors before generation.

  • dreamlayer_capabilities

    Use before choosing an image operation or quoting a sprite job. Read supported operations, input limits and sprite_pricing for this API key, including plain_frame_cents for sprites that keep their background. Returns the current API contract; no image input, generation or credits required. Do not use this to create an asset.

  • dreamlayer_download

    Use when an existing execution completed or a previous download failed. Requires execution_id and an absolute new local path. Saves the finished image or sprite ZIP and returns path/bytes; starts no generation and spends no new credits. Never overwrites. For output_not_ready check status; for local_output_failed repair the path and download the same execution.

  • dreamlayer_events

    Use to resume running work or a dropped stream without another generation charge. Requires execution_id; pass the last_event_id actually processed. Returns bounded events, status and recovery cursor. If still running or rate-limited, back off before polling again. Do not repeatedly call in a tight loop or submit replacement work.

  • dreamlayer_execution

    Use after a timeout, rate limit or uncertain result to read the existing execution's canonical status. Requires execution_id; costs no credits. Returns state and result details, not a newly generated image. If running, wait and resume events; if completed, download. Do not replace an uncertain paid job.

  • dreamlayer_generate

    Use when the user needs an original image, raster logo concept, product or marketing visual, an edit, transparent cutout, upscale, or reference-based sprite animation. Starts paid work within the user's authorized scope and budget. Text-to-image needs a prompt; other operations need input_asset_id. Select operation explicitly. Image operations cost one credit; sprite beta accepts 7–100 frames and

  • dreamlayer_upload_imagewrite action

    Use when an edit, background removal, upscale or sprite animation needs a local reference. Requires an absolute path to PNG, JPEG, WebP or supported camera RAW, up to 200 MB. Uploads that file and returns input_asset_id; starts no paid work. Reuse the asset ID for recovery. Not needed for text-to-image. If upload fails, fix the input or retry upload only.

Install Dreamlayer in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y @dreamlayer/mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

claude mcp add dreamlayer -- npx -y @dreamlayer/mcp
Add to Cursor

What the publisher says

From the Dreamlayer repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

@dreamlayer/mcp

Image generation and editing tools for MCP-compatible AI clients, backed by the DreamLayer Agent API.

Nothing to clone, nothing to build.

Install

Add it to your client. Claude Code:

claude mcp add dreamlayer --env DREAMLAYER_API_KEY=dlr_live_your_key -- npx -y @dreamlayer/mcp

Codex:

codex mcp add dreamlayer --env DREAMLAYER_API_KEY=dlr_live_your_key -- npx -y @dreamlayer/mcp

Cursor, or any other stdio MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dreamlayer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@dreamlayer/mcp"],
      "env": { "DREAMLAYER_API_KEY": "dlr_live_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

The key must be in the server's own environment. MCP clients spawn this as a subprocess, so a key exported in your shell does not reach it. That is the most common setup failure, and the server exits with an explanation rather than starting up broken.

Get a key at platform.dreamlayer.io. A new account starts at zero credits, and each finished image costs one.

Tools

Operations

Omit operation and DreamLayer reads the prompt, which may come back asking a clarifying question. Name it and that inference is skipped entirely.

upscale doubles each side and finished images are capped at 4096 per side, so the longest side of your input must be 2048 or less. A larger one is refused before it costs a credit.

Behaviour worth knowing

A question is not a failure. An ambiguous prompt returns a question event ending in needsinput. Answer it by calling dreamlayergenerate again with respond and the conversation_id.

Retries are safe if you reuse the key. An idempotency_key is generated for you. Pass the same one back to retry after an uncertain response and the original result replays rather than paying twice.

Long runs are truncated, not lost. A stream over 256 events returns what it has, marks truncated, and gives you the execution_id and last event id to resume from.

Errors are stable and provider-neutral. Error tool results include code, reason, message, retryable, and request_id, matching REST and the CLI. A model should branch on reason and retryable, never message text. The response excludes prompts, local filenames, asset URLs, provider details, credentials, and raw upstream responses.

Requirements

Node.js 22.12 or later.

License

Sprite-sheet beta

Sprite requests accept exactly one of options.animationprompt (1–4000 characters) or an options.action preset (walk, run, idle). Custom prompts can describe characters, creatures, objects, effects or 360° turntables. animationmode is loop or once; presets default to loop, custom prompts to once. For a turntable, request a stationary camera and rotating subject. Broad requests do not guarantee correct motion, unseen details or successful effect transparency.

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
