I built an MCP server that lets Claude edit images through Photopea -- design posters, edit photos, apply filters, all from the terminal
I've been working on an MCP server that connects Claude (or any MCP client) to Photopea, a free browser-based alternative to Photoshop.
What it does: You describe what you want in natural language, and Claude executes it in Photopea -- creating documents, adding text, placing images, applying filters and effects, exporting files. 34 tools in total.
Example prompt: > "Create a 1500x1500 album cover with a dark purple gradient background, add noise texture, apply motion blur for light streaks, load a custom Google Font, add the title '1337 DESIGN' with a glow effect, and export as PNG"
How it works: Claude sends commands via MCP -> the server translates them to Photopea's JavaScript API -> executes via WebSocket in your browser -> you see the result live in Photopea.
Install (one command):
claude mcp add -s user photopea -- npx -y photopea-mcp-server
Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf.
