generate_storybook_image
Generates a 3D style cartoon image with a children's story based on the given prompt
LABSCO SUMMARY
The picture and the story it belongs to come out of the same call.
One prompt produces both, which is what separates this from an image generator you would then have to write around by hand. The art style is a parameter rather than something buried in the prompt, so the same idea can be re-run in a different look without rewriting the description. The result is written to a file under a name you give rather than returned into the conversation.
What it is
A single tool that produces a 3D-style cartoon image and a children's story from the same prompt.
What you get
- An image in a 3D cartoon style generated from your prompt, in an art style you name, written out under the filename you give.
- A children's story generated alongside the image from that same prompt.
Requirements
A writable destination for the generated file — SAVE_TO_DESKTOP decides whether it lands on the desktop — and DEBUG when you want verbose output.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — npx mcp-storybook-image-generator --api-key <YOUR_API_KEY> --save-to-desktop, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Producing an illustrated page for a children's story
The image and the story arrive together from one prompt, in an art style you choose, saved under the filename you give.
1 tool
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
BEFORE YOU INSTALL
What to know first
Tools you get
1 tool when we connected. The one call generates the illustration and a matching story, then saves a PNG, a .txt and an HTML preview to disk; SAVE_TO_DESKTOP changes where files land.
Requires
- npx on PATH
- Node.js
- GEMINI_API_KEY in your environment
Where it runs
The documented client runs the server on your machine.

}The block passes your Gemini API key with --api-key, as <YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY>. A GEMINI_API_KEY line in a .env file is the other way the README documents.
