Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Picsart

Give your AI an image link and ask it to remove the background, upscale it or crop it for a post. It uses your Picsart API key to enhance photos and faces, apply photo and AI effects, blur faces or plates, add a watermark and turn images into SVG. It can also describe an image, suggest tags and pull out its main colors.

Questions

What can the AI do in Picsart?

The AI can remove or replace backgrounds, upscale, enhance images and faces, adjust colors, resize and crop, blur parts of an image, apply photo and AI effects, add watermarks and vectorize images. It can also describe and tag images, extract colors, fetch results of background jobs and check your credit balance.

Does the AI see my Picsart API key?

No. Your Picsart API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, for example only background removal and cropping. Some tools use Picsart credits, and any tool can be set to require your approval before it runs. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Picsart API account, and image tools use your Picsart credits.

How do I give the AI an image?

The image tools take an image link, so the picture must be reachable at a URL. You can also upload an image from a URL to Picsart and use the returned image ID with the other tools. Large jobs may run in the background, and the AI fetches the result when it is ready.
