The API supports persistent sessions and asynchronous jobs, returning a job ID that clients poll via eye_art_image_status instead of resubmitting the same request. No model weights are hosted on Hugging Face; the workflows run behind the MCP endpoint at https://eye.art/api/eye-mcp.", "body_md": "Hi HF folks — I’m sharing Eye.Art Polyphemus as a workflow/API engineering project. It’s a hosted router, not an HF model or downloadable checkpoint: one conversational MCP entry point routes requests to image generation, reference-image edits, SVG creation, prompt ideas, and follow-up edits.\n\nThe main design problem is continuity. A follow-up like “change this image” needs the prior image and conversation context, while “make a new one” should start fresh. The API supports persistent sessions/conversations and asynchronous jobs: generation can return a job ID, and clients poll eye_art_image_status instead of accidentally submitting the same request again.\n\nConnect and docs: [MCP & API — Eye.Art](https://eye.art/polyphemus/api) · MCP endpoint: [https://eye.art/api/eye-mcp](https://eye.art/api/eye-mcp)\n\nNo model weights are hosted on HF; these are hosted Eye.Art workflows behind a chat/API surface. I’d love feedback from people building Spaces or MCP clients: what interaction patterns work best for carrying reference images through edits and showing users long-running image jobs?", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-tell-polyphemus-a-single-chat-api-entry-point-for-image-workflows", "canonical_source": "https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/show-tell-polyphemus-a-single-chat-api-entry-point-for-image-workflows/182790#post_1", "published_at": "2026-10-02 03:44:07+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-02 03:45:54.427322+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-tools", "generative-ai", "agent-protocols", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Eye.Art", "Polyphemus", "Hugging Face", "eye_art_image_status", "MCP"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-tell-polyphemus-a-single-chat-api-entry-point-for-image-workflows", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-tell-polyphemus-a-single-chat-api-entry-point-for-image-workflows.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-tell-polyphemus-a-single-chat-api-entry-point-for-image-workflows.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-tell-polyphemus-a-single-chat-api-entry-point-for-image-workflows.jsonld"}}
