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.

Tools not appearing?
Make sure Claude Desktop is fully restarted after adding the config. Check that your API key is valid.
