How to Use Imagen 4 in Cursor

• Cursor with Agent mode.
• An AiWings account (sign in with Google). Images use credits from your AiWings balance.
• About a minute.

The fastest way is the one-click Add to Cursor button on the AiWings Cursor page. To set it up by hand, follow these steps.

1. 1Add the config below to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (every project) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project only).
2. 2Open Cursor Settings → MCP and click Connect next to AiWings.
3. 3Sign in to AiWings in the browser window and allow access.
4. 4Check that AiWings shows a green dot and its tools are listed.

In Agent mode, describe the asset and name the model. The agent calls AiWings, runs Imagen 4 and shows the image in the chat before it touches any files.

Use Imagen 4 Fast to make a 1:1 isometric illustration of a tiny town block with a bakery, a cafe and a bookstore around a small park, in pastel colors, for the About section.

Real, unedited results from the Imagen 4 models, the kind of assets a site or app needs:

This is where Cursor shines. Ask the agent to download the image into your assets folder and wire it into the code in the same request. You review the diff like any other change.

Save that illustration to public/images/town.webp and add it to the About section next to the text, with rounded corners and a soft shadow.

You can also describe a whole set at once, such as “make three 1:1 illustrations in the same pastel style for the three feature cards and save them to public/features/”, and the agent will generate and save each one.

All three are Google models and work the same way in Cursor. Pick by the asset:

Prices are at the top-up rate of $0.01 per credit, and plans include more credits per dollar. Imagen 4 gives you 2K for the same price as 1K. To stop naming the model every time, tell the agent “make Imagen 4 at 2K my default”.

• Ask for the exact shape the layout needs: 16:9 for a hero, 1:1 for a card, 9:16 for a tall mobile background.
• Mention your brand colors and the style of your existing UI so new images match the site.
• Ask for a set in one style: the agent can reuse the same prompt structure for every image in the set.
• Imagen 4 can’t edit existing files, so describe the whole scene each time, or switch to GPT Image or Nano Banana for edits.
• Name files and folders in the request so the agent doesn’t guess, and ask for WebP at the size you actually display.

• The agent says it can’t make images: check that AiWings is enabled in Cursor Settings → MCP and that you’re in Agent mode.
• AiWings shows a red dot: click Connect again and finish the sign-in in your browser.
• No tools listed: check that the URL in mcp.json is exactly https://aiwings.io/api/mcp, then restart Cursor.
• Out of credits: top up from your AiWings dashboard, then ask the agent to try again.

Cursor can’t draw on its own, but with AiWings added as an MCP server, Imagen 4 becomes part of your build: generate the asset, save it and use it in your code in one request. The same server also gives Cursor GPT Image, Nano Banana, Seedream and Seedance video.
