Use Flux Kontext Pro from Claude Code

Flux Kontext Pro is Black Forest Labs' editing-focused model designed to preserve character and composition through edits. Ideal for series work where the same character appears across multiple panels or frames.

If you use Claude Code and you want Flux Kontext Pro available as a native tool that the agent can call directly, the AetherWave MCP server wires it up in one command. No SDK to learn, no separate API key per provider, no polling loop to write.

Quick facts

How to use it

Once the MCP is installed, you can ask Claude Code naturally. It'll pick Flux Kontext Pro from the model-selection rubric in the tool description when your prompt matches its strengths (character-preserving image edits).

Example interaction:

Claude Code calls aetherwave_edit_image with model: "flux-kontext-pro" and returns the finished asset URL. The result auto-saves to your AetherWave gallery (Cloudflare R2 hosted, no URL expiration).

Sample prompts that work well

When to pick Flux Kontext Pro

Flux Kontext Pro shines for:

• Character consistency across multiple images

• Serial illustration work (comics, storyboards)
• Brand-character maintenance
• Anywhere a 'same character, new scene' need exists

How it compares

vs flux-kontext-max at 14 cr: Pro at 7 cr is the cost-effective tier. Max is the higher-fidelity variant. Pick Pro for general edits; Max when subtle detail preservation matters most.
