Claude MCP Integration

Use natural language to process images directly from Claude using the Model Context Protocol. Needs the Growth or Enterprise plan.

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 conversation.

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

API/MCP auth and scopes

Use API keys and MCP connectors with the narrowest scope that fits the job. Treat agent actions by risk class so read-only inspection, draft-producing AI work, review-gated submissions, and live-write publishing never feel the same.

Read-only - list assets, inspect product readiness, and check workflow status.
Draft-producing - generate alt text, remove a background, or create asset variants without publishing.
Review-gated - submit supplier assets, propose product changes, or request approval.
Live-write - publish to Shopify, replace product media, or update product metadata after approval.

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?

Remove the connector in Claude, add it again, and sign in. Your workspace needs API and MCP access.

Authentication errors?

Remove the connector in Claude, add it again, and sign in.

Processing fails?

Check that the image URL is publicly accessible. Some tools have specific requirements, for example try-on needs a person photo.
