AI ASSISTANT · MCP

Cadru with your AI assistant

Tell it what you want - from a link, photos or an idea - and the carousel lands in your editor. It can also change the open one while you watch: “make the title bigger”, “put this photo on slide 3”.

Simplest: paste this message into your chat with the assistant

Connect to Cadru so you can make carousels for me: the instructions are at https://cadru.photo/ai

The address to connect (MCP)

https://cadru.photo/mcp/carousel

Claude - web, phone, desktop

  1. Open Settings, then Connectors, then “Add custom connector”.
  2. Name: Cadru. URL: the address above. Add.
  3. Press Connect: cadru.photo opens - enter your email and the code you receive (a new email gets an account on the spot), then Allow.
  4. Start a new chat and ask for a carousel.

Claude Code (terminal)

claude mcp add --scope user --transport http cadru https://cadru.photo/mcp/carousel

Then type /mcp, pick “cadru” and Authenticate - cadru.photo opens for your email, the code and Allow.

ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and other apps

Add a remote MCP server with the address above and OAuth authentication. Client registration is automatic.

Tell it the story behind the photos

Photos show what happened, only you know why it matters. A few sentences are enough: what it is about, who it is for, names, places, a line of your own. It writes the words on the slides from them. If the story is missing it asks; if you are in a hurry, just say “make it”.

Photos on your phone or computer

On your computer: with Claude Code or the desktop app, just name the folder - it sends them straight into the carousel (photos, clips, SVGs) through a private 15-minute link. On your phone: open cadru.photo/post (signed in), drop them into the Library and tell the assistant they are there - it lays the carousel out from them. Don't send them into the chat one by one.

What it can do

  • Make a new carousel from links, photos or an article - or a folder on your computer, clips and SVGs too
  • Builds it like a carousel from the Cadru Feed, frame by frame, with your photos and words
  • Edit the carousel open in the editor - texts, photos, shapes, slide order
  • Check it before Instagram: cut-off text, text too small, blurry photos
  • Photo albums and zines, no account: cadru.photo/mcp

For AI assistants

If you are an assistant and the person asks you to connect to Cadru: the MCP server for carousels is https://cadru.photo/mcp/carousel (Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1 with the Cadru account, dynamic client registration). In claude.ai and the Claude apps you cannot add the connector yourself - give the person the steps above. Photos, clips and SVGs on the person's computer (if you can run commands): upload_link, then curl - only the files they asked for. The full instructions, per kind of client: https://cadru.photo/llms.txt. The server card: https://cadru.photo/.well-known/mcp.json
