​
MCP installation by client

​
What this lets you do

Connect Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw, or another stdio MCP client to DreamLayer image tools.

​
What you need

  • A DreamLayer clone
  • Python and uv
  • One supported MCP client

​
Steps

​
1. Install the command

​
2. Configure Claude Code

​
3. Configure Codex

​
4. Configure Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw, or a generic client

Add a local stdio server to the client’s MCP configuration:
Client configuration keys change over time. Use the client’s current MCP documentation for the location of this object. DreamLayer requires only a stdio command and optional environment variables.

​
Confirm it worked

Restart the client, list its MCP tools, and call the DreamLayer capabilities tool. The result must report protocol version 1.

​
Common errors

  • Command not found: confirm that the uv tool bin directory is on the client’s PATH.
  • Invalid JSON: validate the client configuration and restart the client.
  • JSON-RPC parse failure: keep all non-protocol output on stderr.

​
Troubleshooting

Run dreamlayer-mcp in a terminal to confirm that the command starts, then use the current client documentation to verify its configuration file location.
