Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Remove image backgrounds from AI assistants with a LassoCut account (files, folders, URLs).

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Design, images & audio
  • You need to fill in: LASSOCUT_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: LASSOCUT_API_KEY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lassocut": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "lassocut-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LASSOCUT_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add lassocut --env LASSOCUT_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y lassocut-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lassocut": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "lassocut-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LASSOCUT_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "lassocut": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "lassocut-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LASSOCUT_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • LASSOCUT_API_KEY secret env
    Optional LassoCut API key (otherwise use the sign_in tool)

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is Lassocut 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?

You need to fill in: LASSOCUT_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry 19 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

LassoCut MCP

Remove image backgrounds from your AI assistant with a LassoCut account. The API is compatible with the remove.bg API.

What it does

Ask Claude (or any MCP-compatible assistant) to cut out product photos, portraits, whole folders, or images from a URL. Results are saved next to the originals as -no-bg. and existing files are never overwritten — a name already taken gets -2, -3, and so on instead.

By default, every image is processed as a low-cost preview (0.25 credit, 50 free a month, up to 10 a day). Full-size output costs 1 credit per image and is only used when you explicitly ask for it; above 10 full-size images, the assistant must show you the cost and get your OK first.

Install

Claude Desktop: download lassocut.mcpb and double-click it.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add lassocut -- npx -y lassocut-mcp

On Windows: claude mcp add lassocut -- cmd /c npx -y lassocut-mcp

Cursor / Windsurf (or any other MCP client that reads a JSON config):

{ "mcpServers": { "lassocut": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "lassocut-mcp"] } } }

Requires Node.js 20 or later.

Sign in

You need a LassoCut account and API key. Three ways to connect:

  1. Ask the assistant to sign in. It calls the sign_in tool, which opens the LassoCut approval page in your browser and returns the approval link and a short code right away. Approve the connection in the browser, then ask the assistant to check your credits (get_credits) — the key is saved automatically in the background (the approval window stays open for a few minutes).
  2. Already signed in with the lassocut command-line tool? This connector reads the same saved key from lassocut login, so no extra step is needed.
  3. Set the LASSOCUT_API_KEY environment variable (or the api_key field in Claude Desktop's extension settings) to a key from your LassoCut account page. This always takes precedence over a signed-in key.

Tools

remove_background

Remove the background of one or more images.

ParameterDescription
imagesA file path, a folder path (its images, not subfolders), an http(s) URL, or a list of any of these. Up to 50 per call.
sizepreview (default) or full.
backgroundtransparent (default), a hex color such as #ffffff, or a color name.
formatpng (default), jpg, or webp.
cropCrop the result to the subject.
presetnone (default), amazon, ebay, etsy, shopify, zalando or instagram. A preset sets the background, format and crop itself (those arguments are ignored), saves a .jpg, and reports any file that is not compliant. Use size full for marketplace uploads; a preview is enlarged and looks soft. Compliant means compliant with the image rules LassoCut checks.
shadownone (default) or cast. Not available with the zalando preset.
light_angleShadow light angle, -90 to 90 (positive: light from the left). Default 45.
shadow_lengthshort, medium or long.
shadow_strengthShadow strength, 0 to 100 (soft 35, normal 55, strong 75).
output_dirWhere to save results. Must be an absolute path (~ is expanded). If omitted: next to each original file, or your Downloads folder (falling back to your home folder) for images fetched from a URL.
confirm_costSet to true only after the user has confirmed the cost of a full-size request over 10 images.

Files larger than 22 MB are skipped. Up to 3 small thumbnails are returned inline with the result.

get_credits

Shows your current credit balance and the free previews available now (50 a month, up to 10 a day).

sign_in

Connects a LassoCut account: opens the approval page in your browser and returns immediately with the link and code so you can approve at your own pace. Pass force: true to switch to a different account.

Credits and safety

  • Previews are the default everywhere; full-size output is never used unless asked for.
  • Requesting full size for more than 10 images at once requires an explicit confirmation, with the cost shown up front.
  • If your balance is too low for a full-size request, it is refused before any image is sent.
  • Files are only ever sent to the LassoCut API — see Privacy below.

Privacy

Images are sent only to the LassoCut API to remove their background; they are not sent anywhere else. See the LassoCut privacy policy for details.
