Generate images without leaving the conversation.
Lumen connects your own OpenAI or Google key to Claude, so an image is one request away while you work. You bring the key. We bring the bridge.
Before you sign up — one current Claude limitation
When you generate an image through the Claude connector, Claude can see and describe it, but claude.ai does not yet display the image inline in the chat. You'll find each image three ways: in the message's collapsed "tool result", via a link Lumen returns in the reply, and in your dashboard gallery. Generating from the Lumen dashboard itself does show images immediately.
This is an open limitation on Claude's side, not a Lumen bug. You can track it and add your voice on Anthropic's issue tracker: claude-ai-mcp issue #238.
Three steps
From key to image
Add your key
Paste your OpenAI or Google API key. It is encrypted before it touches storage and never shown again.
Connect Claude
Copy your connection URL into Claude as a custom connector. One link, scoped to you.
Ask for an image
Tell Claude what you want. It calls Lumen, your key generates it, and you get a link to the image plus a copy in your dashboard gallery.
Pricing
You pay for the convenience, not the compute
Model costs run on your own key. These plans cover the bridge: storage, history, and generating right inside Claude.
