In the MCP documentation example file on https://docs.anythingllm.com/mcp-compatibility/overview#example-configuration-file it provides a few examples, such as the face generator.

This works fine on Docker (in terms of the MCP server starting) but the face generator agent doesn't actually work.

It says it generates an image, but it's not actually being stored anywhere on the server. So when you attempt to visit the link generated, you're not able to actually view the image.

The link generated is

https://myanythingllmurl.com/workspace/dcs-tests/t/images/1746524581758.png

It also seems that's it's not possible to actually define the default arguments in the MCP server settings:

So trying to actually follow the documentation doesn't result in a working solution.

It wrote an image to ./images in the host container probably in the sever folder
https://docs.anythingllm.com/mcp-compatibility/docker#writing-files-to-the-host-machine

In this case you want to specify the output dir is /app/server/storage/images and then it will write to a folder on your host mapped volume
