Utility
- sirv_alt_text - Generate alt text descriptions
- sirv_get_usage - Check credit usage statistics
Organization Context
- sirv_list_organizations - List the organizations available to the authenticated user
All DAM, product, Shopify, Supplier Portal and Sirv CDN tools accept an optional orgId parameter to scope requests to a specific organization. If omitted, the user's default organization is used. The server sends orgId as the X-Org-Id header, which the API validates against the user's org membership.
Entitlement Checks
Every Studio plan includes API and MCP access; an admin can turn it off for a workspace. Preview-readable tools such as list, get, search, metadata-read, usage, organization, and workflow-read calls then execute without another tool-specific check. Mutation tools, direct AI tools that spend credits, batch operations, visual similarity, Shopify delivery/sync, and Supplier Portal Pro tools call Studio's /api/mcp/authorize-tool endpoint before execution and fail closed when the workspace lacks the matching entitlement.
Prompts
- prepare-listing-image (
assetId) - Remove the background, upscale if small, and write alt text for one library image - alt-text-sweep (
folderId) - Find the images in a folder that have no alt text and write it, after the user confirms the cost

Transport Modes
Stdio Transport (Default)
Used for local integrations with Claude Desktop and Claude Code.
bun run start
# or
bun run dev
HTTP Transport
Used for remote/hosted deployments accessible via HTTPS.
bun run start:http
# or
bun run dev:http
When running in HTTP mode, the server exposes:
/- MCP protocol endpoint (/mcpis also accepted for compatibility)/health- Health check endpoint/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server- OAuth 2.0 metadata/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource- Protected resource metadata
Security Features
Request Limits
HTTP requests accept uncompressed JSON up to 1 MiB. Tool arguments are limited to 10,000 array elements and object members in total, including nested values. Split larger requests into smaller calls. File uploads use URLs rather than inline bytes.
Each signed-in caller can send 100 requests a minute. One IP address can send 30 invalid API keys a minute. Expired OAuth tokens do not count toward that limit.
OAuth 2.0 Support
The server implements OAuth 2.0 with PKCE for secure authentication:
- Authorization code flow with S256 code challenge
- Token refresh support
- Secure token storage in
~/.sirv-ai/tokens.json
Tool Safety Annotations
All tools include proper MCP safety annotations:
readOnlyHint- Indicates if the tool only reads datadestructiveHint- Indicates if the tool can delete or overwrite dataidempotentHint- Indicates if repeated calls produce the same resultopenWorldHint- Indicates if the tool accesses external services
CORS Configuration
When running in HTTP mode, CORS is configured for browser-based authentication:
- Default allowed origins:
https://claude.ai,https://console.anthropic.com - Customizable via
MCP_CORS_ORIGINSenvironment variable - Proper preflight handling with credentials support
IP Allowlisting
Optional IP-based access control:
- Pre-configured Claude.ai/Claude Code IP ranges
- Enable with
MCP_ENABLE_IP_ALLOWLIST=true - Add custom IPs/CIDR ranges via
MCP_ALLOWED_IPS
HTTPS Support
For production deployments:
- Direct HTTPS: Set
MCP_SSL_KEY_PATHandMCP_SSL_CERT_PATH - Reverse Proxy: Run HTTP behind nginx/Caddy with TLS termination
Usage with Claude Desktop
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration (claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"sirv-ai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "sirv-ai-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"SIRV_AI_BASE_URL": "https://www.sirv.studio"
}
}
}
}
Usage with Claude Code
Add to your Claude Code MCP settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"sirv-ai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "sirv-ai-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"SIRV_AI_BASE_URL": "https://www.sirv.studio"
}
}
}
}
Usage with ChatGPT
For the hosted server, use https://mcp.sirv.studio
as the MCP connector URL. Connectors added with https://mcp-dev.sirv.studio
keep working. Studio handles sign-in and consent at
https://www.sirv.studio. Every Studio plan can connect. When a workspace runs out of credits, tools answer with a link to Studio's Buy credits page.
This connection path is separate from ChatGPT Actions, which use the
OpenAPI specification.
Use the callback URL supplied by your ChatGPT connector. Studio accepts
https://chatgpt.com/connector/oauth/<id> with one ID segment containing
letters, digits, underscores or hyphens, as well as the older
https://chatgpt.com/connector_platform_oauth_redirect callback. The URL
must also match the client's registered redirect URI. OAuth still requires
PKCE S256. See the MCP developer docs.
In the current source, ten image-result tools attach an interactive image widget. Account, asset, product, batch, workflow, video and 3D tools return their tool results without that widget. For multi-image generation, the widget previews the first result rather than a gallery.
The widget uses the MCP Apps resource
ui://widget/sirv-studio-v3.html with MIME type text/html;profile=mcp-app.
This describes the server implementation, not a claim that the app is listed
in the ChatGPT directory.
Remote Server Deployment
For hosting the MCP server remotely (accessible via claude.ai):
Keep the two origins distinct:
SIRV_AI_BASE_URLis the Studio app that serves OAuth and API requests.MCP_BASE_URLis the public origin clients use to reach the MCP server. It supplies the advertised OAuth resource and widget domain.
The Docker Compose configuration defaults to
https://www.sirv.studio and https://mcp.sirv.studio, respectively.
Set both explicitly for another deployment.
Check discovery before connecting a client:
curl --fail https://mcp.sirv.studio/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource
curl --fail https://mcp.sirv.studio/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
For these defaults, resource should be https://mcp.sirv.studio,
and issuer and the sole authorization_servers entry should be
https://www.sirv.studio. The authorization, token and registration
endpoints should use the Studio origin.
1. Deploy with HTTPS
# Using SSL certificates directly
MCP_TRANSPORT=http \
MCP_HTTP_PORT=443 \
MCP_BASE_URL=https://mcp.your-domain.com \
MCP_SSL_KEY_PATH=/etc/ssl/private/key.pem \
MCP_SSL_CERT_PATH=/etc/ssl/certs/cert.pem \
MCP_ENABLE_IP_ALLOWLIST=true \
SIRV_AI_BASE_URL=https://www.sirv.studio \
bun run start:http
2. Or use a reverse proxy (recommended)
nginx configuration example:
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
server_name mcp.your-domain.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/cert.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/key.pem;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3001;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
}
3. Configure in claude.ai
Once deployed, users can connect via the MCP settings in claude.ai using your server URL.

Troubleshooting
Connection Issues
"Server not found" or connection refused
- Verify the server is running:
bun run startfor stdio orbun run start:httpfor HTTP mode - Check that
SIRV_AI_BASE_URLis set correctly - For HTTP mode, ensure the port isn't blocked by a firewall
"Authentication failed"
- Delete stored tokens:
rm -rf ~/.sirv-ai/tokens.json - Re-authenticate through the OAuth flow
- Verify your account is active at https://www.sirv.studio
"Invalid API key"
- Check that
SIRV_AI_API_KEYis correctly set (if using API key auth) - Regenerate your API key in your Sirv AI Studio account settings
Tool Errors
"Insufficient credits"
- Check your credit balance using
sirv_get_usagetool - Purchase more credits at https://www.sirv.studio/billing
"Image URL not accessible"
- Ensure the image URL is publicly accessible (not behind authentication)
- Try uploading the image to a public hosting service first
"Processing timeout"
- Large images or complex operations may take longer
- Try with a smaller image or lower resolution setting
- Video generation and 3D conversion can take several minutes
HTTP Transport Issues
CORS errors in browser
- Add your origin to
MCP_CORS_ORIGINSenvironment variable - Example:
MCP_CORS_ORIGINS="https://your-app.com,https://claude.ai"
SSL/TLS certificate errors
- Verify certificate paths are correct in
MCP_SSL_KEY_PATHandMCP_SSL_CERT_PATH - Ensure certificates are not expired
- For development, consider using a reverse proxy with Let's Encrypt
IP blocked
- If using IP allowlisting, add your IP to
MCP_ALLOWED_IPS - Check if your IP has changed (dynamic IP addresses)

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.
