Common questions

Is AI HomeDesign MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

AI HomeDesign MCP Server — AI Virtual Staging, Home Staging & Interior Design for Claude

An open‑source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI virtual staging

and real‑estate photography editing. It turns the

AI HomeDesign photo API into natural‑language

tools, so Claude — or any MCP client — can do virtual home staging,

AI interior design, photo enhancement, decluttering, and day‑to‑dusk

conversions just by being asked.


What is this?

AI HomeDesign MCP Server exposes the AI HomeDesign V3 API as a set of Model Context Protocol tools over streamable HTTP. Any MCP‑compatible AI client — Claude Desktop, Claude in the browser, Cursor, and more — can then run professional real‑estate photo editing in plain English:

  • 🛋️ Virtual staging — furnish an empty room with photorealistic AI furniture in a chosen design style. Digital home staging in seconds, with no physical furniture.
  • 🎨 Virtual restaging & AI interior design — replace existing furniture or fully redesign a furnished room.
  • ✨ Image enhancement — fix lighting, sharpness, and color balance for listing‑ready photos.
  • 🧹 Item removal / decluttering — automatically remove furniture and clutter to reveal a clean space.
  • 🌆 Day to dusk — convert a daytime exterior into a warm twilight / dusk scene.
  • 🧱 Wall, floor & ceiling changes — restyle surfaces with a tasteful AI finish.

Because it speaks MCP, there is no SDK to learn — you describe what you want and the model calls the right tool with the right parameters.

Why virtual staging and home staging over MCP?

Traditional home staging means renting furniture and scheduling a shoot. Virtual staging for realtors replaces that with an edited photo — but it still costs hours in editing tools or days of turnaround from a staging service.

This server collapses that into a conversation: drop in a listing photo, pick a style, and get back a downloadable, market‑ready image. It's multi‑tenant (every caller uses their own AI HomeDesign key), stateless, and self‑hostable, so it fits both a single agent and a production PropTech product.

Supported design styles: prime, modern, farmhouse, scandinavian, hampton, industrial, traditional, contemporary. Supported room types: bedroom, living‑room, kitchen, bathroom, dining‑room, home‑office, outdoor, nursery.


Quick start

Option A — Connect to the hosted server (no setup)
  1. Get your API key. Sign in at aihomedesign.com, open API / Developer settings, and copy your x-api-key.
  2. Generate your connector link. Paste that key into the generator at [aihomedesign.com/mcp](https://aihomedesign.com/mcp). The key is validated server‑side once, then stored encrypted; you get back a personal endpoint:
   https://mcp.aihomedesign.com/aihd_<your-token>/mcp

Your raw key never appears in the URL.

  1. Add it to your AI assistant. In Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, name it *AI HomeDesign*, and paste the URL. Every tool shows up automatically. Works with any MCP‑compatible client.

⚠️ The connector link does not contain your raw key, but it **grants access to your

account — treat it like a password.** Rotating your key in the AI HomeDesign

dashboard revokes every link previously issued for it.

Server health check, no key needed: mcp.aihomedesign.com/health

Option B — Self‑host with Docker
git clone https://github.com/AIHomeDesign/aihomedesign-mcp.git

cd aihomedesign-mcp cp .env.example .env # add your AIHD_API_KEY (and DB_DSN/TOKEN_SECRET for multi-tenant)

docker build -t aihomedesign-mcp . docker run -p 8080:8080 --env-file .env aihomedesign-mcp

The MCP endpoint is served at http://localhost:8080/mcp (streamable HTTP), with a health check at GET /health.

Option C — Run locally with Python
pip install -r requirements.txt

export AIHD_API_KEY=your_key_here python app/server.py


Configuration

All configuration is via environment variables — see .env.example.

Security & multi‑tenant design
  • Bring‑your‑own‑key: each request carries the caller's own AI HomeDesign key; jobs run under that key.
  • Keys never sit in the URL: the landing page validates a key, then mints an opaque aihd_… connector token; the raw key is stored encrypted at rest (Fernet) and swapped back in per request.
  • Usage logging records the tool, status, and timing per call — never the raw key (only a short, non‑reversible fingerprint).
  • Graceful degradation: if the database is unreachable, the server keeps serving.

FAQ

What is an MCP server?

An MCP server exposes tools, data, and prompts to an AI model through the Model Context Protocol — an open standard introduced by Anthropic. The model discovers the available tools at runtime and calls them itself, so you never write glue code against a bespoke SDK. This repo is an MCP server whose tools happen to edit real‑estate photos.

How do you virtually stage a photo with this?

Connect the server to Claude, then send an empty‑room photo and ask for a style — for example *"stage this living room in a scandinavian style."* Claude calls the virtual_staging tool with the right parameters and returns a downloadable, photorealistic image. No manual editing, no design software.

Is this AI virtual staging free?

The MCP server itself is open source and MIT‑licensed, so you can self‑host it at no cost. The image processing runs on the AI HomeDesign API and uses your own API key.

Does it work with clients other than Claude?

Yes. It speaks standard MCP over streamable HTTP, so any MCP‑compatible client — Claude Desktop, Claude in the browser, Cursor, and others — can use it.

What is the difference between virtual staging and virtual restaging?

Virtual staging furnishes an *empty* room. Virtual restaging swaps the furniture in an *already‑furnished* room. Use interior_design when you want to redesign a furnished room completely rather than just replace the furniture.
