Claude MCP Integration

Use natural language to process images directly from Claude Desktop using the Model Context Protocol.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) allows Claude to use external tools directly. With the Sirv AI Studio MCP server, you can process images using natural language commands right in your Claude Desktop conversation.

Example:"Remove the background from https://example.com/product.jpg" — Claude will automatically use the background removal tool and return the result.

Setup

Open Claude Settings

Go to your Claude connectors settings:

Batch operations: Process multiple images by providing a list of URLs.
Describe scenes: For background replace or lifestyle shots, be descriptive about the scene you want.

Troubleshooting

Tools not appearing?

Make sure Claude Desktop is fully restarted after adding the config. Check that your API key is valid.

Authentication errors?

Regenerate your API key from Account Settings and update the config.

Processing fails?

Check that the image URL is publicly accessible. Some tools have specific requirements (e.g., try-on needs a person photo).
