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#

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.

    bash
    npm install -g @picsart/gen-ai

  2. Sign in once

    bash
    gen-ai login

  3. Add the Skill to your agent

    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:

  1. Add the server to your client's MCP configuration

    mcpServers (illustrative)
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "picsart": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@picsart/gen-ai", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

  2. Copy the current command from the setup page

    Warning

    The exact, always-current MCP endpoint and per-client config live on the official setup page. Copy the command from picsart.com/gen-ai-mcp ↗ rather than the snippet above.

Authentication#

Both paths share the CLI's sign-in — run gen-ai login once and the agent inherits it. See the CLI page.
