MCP
Bring Picsart's models into any AI agent. Ask for images, video, or audio in plain English — the agent picks a model, quotes the cost, and returns a result URL. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible hosts.
Two ways to connect
| Path | Best for | How |
|---|---|---|
| Skill | Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf | Add the gen-ai-use Skill — it plugs the CLI into the agent. |
| MCP server | Any MCP-compatible host | Register Picsart as an MCP server for tool-based catalog access. |
Option A — the Skill
The gen-ai-use Skill is a drop-in bundle that teaches an agent how to generate with Picsart models. It handles model selection, prompt structuring, and running commands for you.
# 1. Install the CLI (the Skill drives it under the hood)
npm install -g @picsart/gen-ai
# 2. Sign in once
gen-ai login
# 3. Add the gen-ai-use Skill to your agent, then ask in plain English.Download the bundle from picsart.com/gen-ai-skills ↗ and add it to your agent's skills directory. Then just describe the task:
- “Make me three banner concepts for the spring sale.”
- “Turn these 10 product photos into a 9:16 reel with background music.”
- “Generate hero images for this landing page in 16:9 and 1:1.”
Option B — the MCP server
For any MCP host, register Picsart as an MCP server. Add an entry to your client's MCP configuration — the shape looks like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"picsart": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@picsart/gen-ai", "mcp"]
}
}
}Authentication
Both paths share the CLI's sign-in — run gen-ai login once and the agent inherits it. See the CLI page.
