How to use Imagelato with ChatGPT, Claude and other AI assistants

Imagelato has an official connector for AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Muse, Grok and Perplexity. Once it is connected, you can ask the assistant about your Imagelato account in your own words. It can look up your image projects, the images you have processed with their resized and converted files, your resize presets, the health of your webhooks and your team's roles. After you approve, it can create a project or a preset, change a preset, or permanently delete a processed image.

Connector URL: https://mcp.imagelato.com/mcp

When you connect, a Imagelato window opens: sign in with your usual Imagelato email and password and approve the access. You don't need an API key or any technical setup.

What you can ask

"Give me an overview of my first image project."
"List my resize presets with their formats and widths."
"Are any of my Imagelato webhooks failing?"

The connector cannot upload, resize or generate images: processing happens through the Imagelato API. Deleting a processed image is permanent.

Connect Imagelato to your AI assistant

You add Imagelato once, then the assistant can use it in any chat. AI apps rename these menus often: Plugins, Connectors and Apps all mean the same thing.

ChatGPT

From the plugin directory (most plans): if Imagelato is listed, open Plugins in the sidebar (or Settings → Plugins), search for Imagelato, select Install and Connect, and sign in.
Add it yourself (ChatGPT Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu, on the web): open Plugins, select + and Add custom MCP server, enter Imagelato as the name and paste the connector URL, choose OAuth sign-in, confirm and select Create as a plugin. Then install it and type @Imagelato in a chat. On Business, only an admin can add it. On Pro, a server you add yourself can only read, not change anything.

If you don't see Add custom MCP server, your plan doesn't include it: use the directory instead.

Claude

On claude.ai or in the Claude desktop app, open Customize (called Plugins in newer versions) → Connectors, select + Add → Add custom connector, enter Imagelato and paste the connector URL, select Continue, keep the recommended sign-in options and select Add. Then select Connect and sign in to Imagelato. It also works in the Claude mobile app afterwards.

Free plans can add one custom connector.
On Team and Enterprise plans, an owner adds it first in Organization settings → Connectors; then each member connects with their own Imagelato account.
If Imagelato is in Claude's connector directory, you can also add it from there.

Muse (Meta)

Muse is available in the United States, Canada, Japan and Singapore. In a Muse chat, ask: "Create a custom connector for Imagelato with the URL https://mcp.imagelato.com/mcp". Muse guides you through it: sign in to Imagelato when the window opens and allow access. Muse asks for your permission the first time it uses the connector, and every time before a sensitive action.

Grok

On grok.com, open Connectors (grok.com/connectors), select New Connector → Custom, paste the connector URL and sign in to Imagelato. On Grok Business, an admin adds the connector first in the xAI console; then each member connects it.

Perplexity

On Perplexity Pro, Max and Enterprise: open Plugins (or Customize → Connectors), select Add custom → Add MCP connector → Remote, enter Imagelato and paste the connector URL, choose OAuth, accept and select Add. Then select the new card to sign in to Imagelato.

Mistral Vibe (Le Chat)

Open Connectors, select + Add Connector → Custom MCP Connector, enter Imagelato and paste the connector URL, then select Connect and sign in to Imagelato.

Gemini and Microsoft Copilot

Gemini and Microsoft Copilot can't connect to Imagelato yet. We will update this page when they can.

AI agents that work for you

OpenAI Dots use the plugins of your ChatGPT account. Install Imagelato in ChatGPT first (see above), then open your dot's profile → Customize → Plugins, choose Imagelato and connect it. Dots are available on ChatGPT Pro (outside the EEA, the UK and Switzerland) and Business Premium.
Claude Duet uses the apps you have already connected in Claude: connect Imagelato in Claude first (see above). Duet is available on Claude Pro, Max and Ultra in the United States, with a waitlist.
Grok Bot can add Imagelato by its URL: ask your Bot to add the MCP server https://mcp.imagelato.com/mcp, or open Connect apps, add it and select Authorize to sign in. Then mention it with @.

You choose which actions an agent may take without asking you first.

For developers

In Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http imagelato https://mcp.imagelato.com/mcp

Then run /mcp to sign in. In OpenAI Codex:

codex mcp add imagelato --url https://mcp.imagelato.com/mcp
codex mcp login imagelato

In Cursor, add it to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "imagelato": { "url": "https://mcp.imagelato.com/mcp" } } }

In VS Code, run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette, choose HTTP and paste the connector URL. Any other app that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in can use the same URL.

Privacy and security

The assistant only sees what your own Imagelato account can see, and only after you approve the connection.
Imagelato never shares your password with the AI app.
You can disconnect Imagelato at any time in the assistant's settings. Changing your Imagelato password also disconnects every AI app.

If something does not work

You can't find Imagelato in the app's directory: add it as a custom connector with the URL above.
The assistant asks for an API key or a client ID: leave those fields empty. Imagelato uses a normal sign-in instead.
The sign-in window shows an error: write to us here with the name of your AI app and what you see, and we'll help.
The assistant can no longer reach Imagelato: connect it again. A connection unused for about 90 days, and every connection made before you changed your Imagelato password, needs a new sign-in.
The assistant says it can't do something: the connector can only do what is listed above. Do the rest in the Imagelato app.
