Connect Claude & ChatGPT to remove.bg

Give your AI a link to an image and ask it to remove the background with remove.bg. You can choose the size, the kind of subject (person, product or car), the output format, cropping, and a new background color or image. It can also check how many credits and free API calls you have left.

Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.

Try asking

  • “Remove the background from this product photo: https://example.com/mug.jpg”

    The AI sends the image to remove.bg and returns it with the background removed. Each image uses credits from your account.

  • “Cut out the person in this photo and put them on a white background.”

    It removes the background with the subject type set to person and a white background color.

  • “Remove the background and crop the image tight around the car.”

    It sets the subject type to car and turns on cropping, so the empty edges are cut away.

What your AI can do

Background removal

Remove the background from an image link, with options for size, subject type (person, product or car), format and cropping.

New backgrounds

Replace the removed background with a solid color, or with another image from a link.

Credits

Check your remove.bg credit balance and free API calls before you process a batch of images.

  • “Put this product on our studio background: https://example.com/studio.jpg”

    It removes the original background and uses the image at your link as the new one.

  • “How many credits do I have left?”

    It reads your remove.bg account's credit balance and free API calls left.

  • “Give me the cut-out as a PNG with a transparent background.”

    It removes the background and asks for PNG output without a new background color, so the background stays transparent.

Questions

What can the AI do in remove.bg?

It can remove the background from an image, with options for size, subject type, format, cropping and a new background color or image. It can also read your credit balance and free API calls left.

Does the AI see my remove.bg credentials?

No. Your remove.bg 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. Removing a background uses credits from your remove.bg account, so that tool can require your approval before it runs, while checking your balance stays free to use. 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 remove.bg account, and each processed image uses credits from it.

Does each image use credits?

Yes. Each image the AI processes uses credits from your remove.bg account. You can ask the AI to check your balance first, which shows your credits and the free API calls you have left.
