MCP connects a compatible AI assistant to Picsart’s tools. You can request supported image, video, and audio tasks in your conversation.

Do I need to install the Picsart CLI?

The hosted MCP connection does not need the Picsart CLI. Picsart Skills use the CLI, so install it and run gen-ai login before using a Skill.

Does connecting Picsart cost anything?

Browsing models and estimating costs do not spend credits. Generations and supported editing tools use credits from your Picsart account.

What if the tools do not appear?

Complete Picsart sign-in, then reconnect or reload your assistant. Follow the guide for your host if the tools are still missing.

Where do my generated assets go?

Generated media is saved to Picsart Drive by default. Your assistant can return the asset URL so you can view or use it in another request.

What do I need before connecting?

You need a Picsart account and an assistant that supports the hosted MCP connection and browser sign-in. You need credits for generation. Available connectors and workspace permissions depend on your assistant and plan.

How can I check that the connection works?

Ask your assistant to list the image models available through Picsart and show your credit balance without generating anything. If it cannot find the tools, finish Picsart sign-in, then reconnect or reload the assistant.

Do I need an API key for every model provider?

No. The hosted Picsart MCP connection uses your Picsart account. You do not need a separate API key for each model provider.

Can I switch models in the same conversation?

Yes. Ask your assistant to compare available models, check the inputs for your chosen model, and quote the cost before generating. Model availability and pricing can change; use the current catalog.

What is the difference between a prompt and a skill?

A prompt describes the result you want. A skill adds reusable instructions for a workflow. Skills can have additional setup requirements; follow the Skills guide for your assistant.

How do I install Picsart Skills?

Skills are optional and have separate setup. Install the Picsart CLI and run gen-ai login . In Claude Code, register the marketplace with claude plugin marketplace add PicsArt/gen-ai-skills , then run /plugin install picsart@picsart inside Claude Code. For other supported agents, follow the Skills setup guide .
