OpenClip: background removal

remove_background takes an image and returns a transparent PNG with the background cut out. It is FREE, it needs an OpenClip account but no subscription and no credits. There are no parameters to tune, one call does the whole job.

Setup (once)

OpenClip is a remote MCP server at https://openclip.app/mcp. Sign in with your OpenClip account when the OAuth prompt appears, there is no API key to copy.

  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http openclip https://openclip.app/mcp, then /mcp to authorize.
  • Claude Desktop / web: Settings, Connectors, "Add custom connector", paste the URL, sign in.
  • Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json): { "mcpServers": { "openclip": { "url": "https://openclip.app/mcp" } } }
  • Header-only clients: mint an MCP token at openclip.app/settings/connect and connect to https://openclip.app/mcp/key with Authorization: Bearer <token>.

Sanity check: call get_account.
