Agent Mosaic Skill

BMBrick Photo-to-LEGO-Mosaic Skill

Convert any local photo into a LEGO-style brick mosaic preview — directly from your AI agent.

@bmbrick/photo-to-lego-mosaic-skill is an MCP server that lets Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and other AI agents transform local images into high-fidelity 3D brick mosaics using the same canonical engine as bmbrick.com.

Renamed from @bmbrick/agent-mosaic-skill (the old name still works but is deprecated — please migrate to the new name for future updates).

Visual Previews

Generated with the generate_lego_mosaic tool (3D render mode):

Square Tiles (square_1x1)

Original Photo	48x48 Preview	64x64 Preview

Round Tiles (round_1x1)

Original Photo	48x48 Preview	64x64 Preview

Migrating from @bmbrick/agent-mosaic-skill

If you were using the old name, the migration is one search/replace:

1. Package name: @bmbrick/agent-mosaic-skill → @bmbrick/photo-to-lego-mosaic-skill
2. MCP tool name (in your agent's tool list): generate_bmbrick_mosaic → generate_lego_mosaic
3. Binary name (rare): agent-mosaic-skill → photo-to-lego-mosaic-skill

The tool parameters (imagePath, columns, rows, etc.) and return shape are unchanged.
