Poof

Cut the background out of an image from inside a chat — hosted over OAuth, or locally with an API key.

LABSCO SUMMARY

Credits are the thing to watch, not the setup.

The OAuth route means a client can be connected in one command with no key handling at all, which is the right default here. Because every cut-out spends credits, get_account is worth calling before you point a model at a folder of images — it returns remaining credits directly, so the model can decide whether to continue.

What it is

The MCP server for Poof's background-removal API. Two tools: one strips the background from an image you pass as a URL or base64, the other reports what is left of your credit balance.

What you get

  • remove_background takes a base64 image or a URL and returns the cut-out
  • Output control on the same call: format for png, jpg or webp; channels for rgba transparency or a flat rgb; bg_color to drop in a solid colour instead
  • size picks the render scale — full, preview, small, medium or large — and crop trims the frame down to the subject
  • get_account returns the plan name with used and remaining credits, so a batch can stop before it runs dry

Requirements

A Poof account. The hosted endpoint is https://api.poof.bg/mcp over Streamable HTTP, which handles OAuth in supported clients — no key to paste. To run it locally instead, install the npm package @poof-bg/mcp (version 1.1.0) and set POOF_API_KEY; the same key also works remotely as an x-api-token header. Self-hosting on Cloudflare Workers is documented and needs MCP_JWT_SECRET, COOKIE_ENCRYPTION_KEY and a KV namespace for OAuth state.

Setup effort

One command, then sign in — claude mcp add --transport http poof https://api.poof.bg/mcp, then approve the OAuth sign-in
