ProductAI in Claude — Accurate on-brand AI Product Photos and more
ProductAI transforms your product shots into realistic, high-converting AI product photos. No design skills needed. Trusted by 20,000+ brands and creators.
Now available inside Claude (Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, or Claude Code). Generate, edit, and preview product photos by chatting — no copying API keys, no leaving the conversation. Finished images appear inline so you can compare variants side by side.
What you can do
- "Generate a product photo of this sneaker on a clean white marble surface — give me 3 variants" → three completed images appear directly in the chat.
- "Re-shoot this candle with warm evening light on a wooden table" → one variant, finished.
- "Use kontext-pro to add sunglasses to this product" → swaps the model under the hood, returns the result.
- "Check the status of job 245922" → reports back the live status, attaches the image when ready.
You stay in Claude the whole time.
One-time setup (under a minute)
- Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector in Claude.
- Server URL:
https://mcp.productai.photo/mcp - Click Connect. A window opens.
- Sign in with your existing ProductAI account (
create.productai.photo). - That's it — Claude lists the four ProductAI tools and the connector shows Connected.
You never touch an API key. The connector mints (or reuses) one on your account automatically the first time you call a tool.
Tools the connector exposes
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
generate_image |
Start a generation job (1–4 variants in parallel). |
generate_and_wait |
Start, wait, and return the finished image(s) in one step. |
get_job |
Look up a job by ID; returns the image inline when complete. |
wait_for_job |
Poll a running job until it finishes. |
You don't normally call these by name — just describe what you want and Claude picks the right one.

Credits, billing, and limits
- Each generation deducts credits from your ProductAI balance — same as the dashboard or direct API.
- Use
count: 3and you'll be charged for three generations (one per variant). - Manage your subscription and credits at https://create.productai.photo.
Privacy & security
- The connector authenticates via your existing ProductAI account through Auth0. No password is ever stored.
- Image URLs you paste are uploaded once to ProductAI's processing pipeline (the same one the dashboard uses) and then handed to the model.
- Generated images live in the same S3 bucket as your dashboard outputs and follow your account's retention policy.
- The MCP server itself is open source: https://github.com/ShapeStudio/productai-mcp-server.
Troubleshooting
"Authorization failed" when connecting. Sign in to https://create.productai.photo first to make sure your account is active, then retry.
Connector connects but a generation never starts. Your account may be out of credits. Check create.productai.photo/dashboard.
"Could not provision a ProductAI API key for this account." Rare race condition; retry the same prompt and it'll succeed.
