Details
From the project READMEHouse AI for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI apps
House AI is the Amazon for interior design. This repo connects it to AI assistants and coding agents through the Model Context Protocol. Share a photo of a room, a house or a yard, pick a style, and House AI shows you a photorealistic redesign of that same space. You can also preview a wall paint color or new flooring, empty a cluttered room, furnish an empty one, and find real furniture and decor like the pieces in your design.
House AI has 250k+ users in 175+ countries and is #7 on the App Store. Partner decor shops and stores list their products with House AI, so in the app you can buy what you see in your redesign in one click. In your AI assistant, House AI finds those products and links you to each store.

Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
