  "mcpServers": {
    "seedream": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "volcengine-seedream-img-mcp"],
      "env": { "ARK_API_KEY": "your_key_here" }

Models

| Model ID | Resolution support | |---|---| | doubao-seedream-4-0-250828 | 1K, 2K, 4K | | doubao-seedream-4-5-251128 | 2K, 4K | | doubao-seedream-5-0-260128 | 2K, 3K |

1K resolution is silently upgraded to 2K when using a model that doesn't support it.

edit_image always uses doubao-seededit-3-0-i2i (model not selectable).
