Imagga MCP connector

Connect Imagga to Elaichi and Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client can tag images, sort them into categories, flag adult content, detect faces and compare them, all inside your team's own access with every call logged.

  • How it connects. Connects with an API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

How to connect

Use cases

What teams do with Imagga through Elaichi

Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.

  • Marketing

    Tag a batch of campaign photos

    Upload the new campaign shots and ask for descriptive tags on each one, so the image library is searchable before anyone has to type a keyword by hand.

  • E-commerce

    Sort product images into catalog categories

    Run new product photos through Imagga categories and get back a suggested section for each, ready to review before the listings go live.

  • Trust and Safety

    Screen user uploads for adult content

    Check the day's uploads for adult content and pull the text moderation results in the same pass, then list only the items that need a human look.

  • Product

    Check whether two photos show the same person

    Run faces detection on a pair of profile photos and ask for a similarity score, useful for verifying a re-uploaded avatar against the original.

  • Community

    Find faces in event photos before publishing

    Detect how many faces appear in each gallery image so the team knows which photos need consent checks before they are posted.

  • Operations

    Report on Imagga usage this month

    Ask how many uploads, tags and moderation checks ran this month and get a plain summary against your plan without opening the Imagga dashboard.

Try asking

  • “Tag the product photos uploaded this week and group them by category”
  • “Run adult content moderation on yesterday's uploads and list anything flagged”
  • “Check whether these two headshots show the same person”

From answering questions to doing the work

A person no longer has to ask. A trigger starts the work, inside the same permissions and the same audit log as everything else. Automations and live dashboards are launching soon, on the Black plan.

Automations

A schedule tags new uploads while you sleep.

New Imagga uploads are fetched, grouped, drafted into a digest, approved, then posted back.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Imagga to Claude?

Two steps. In Elaichi, connect Imagga by pasting your Imagga API key, which you copy from your Imagga account. Then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate.

Does Imagga work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Imagga is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Imagga once and every client picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Imagga data?

With Imagga connected, an agent can upload an image, ask for tags and categories on it, run adult content and text moderation, detect faces and compare two faces for similarity, and check your usage. Short concrete asks work best, such as tagging this week's uploads or flagging anything unsafe in a folder.

Does connecting Imagga give the AI access to everything in my account?

No. Every request to Imagga runs through the key and plan your organization connected, and only for the people you have shared it with in Elaichi. Elaichi can narrow that access further, for example to tagging only, and it never widens it beyond what the Imagga account already allows.

Can my team share one Imagga connection?

Yes. One person connects Imagga with the API key, shares the connection with a team in Elaichi, and nobody else ever sees or handles that key. Each person still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names who ran each tag, moderation check or faces detection.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Imagga?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading tags and categories while blocking new uploads or moderation runs. A restricted Imagga action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client, so no prompt can reach it.

What happens to an Imagga connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Imagga at once, across Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client. A shared Imagga connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you disconnect Imagga in Elaichi, it disappears from every client in one step.

Does the Imagga MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Imagga is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.
