PhotoRoom for AI agents
PhotoRoom provides AI APIs for removing backgrounds, editing, and generating product photos. Ecommerce and marketing teams use it to produce clean product images without a photo studio. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.
What agents do in PhotoRoom.
Remove the background from a photo
Strip the background from a product photo so it can be placed on a clean or branded backdrop.
Generate an image from a prompt
Create a new product image using a text prompt for a campaign visual.
Check account credit usage read-only
Look up remaining credits before processing a large batch of images.
4 PhotoRoom actions, graded by risk.
Every PhotoRoom action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

PhotoRoom in three steps.
- 01Your users connect PhotoRoomThey add their PhotoRoom api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
- 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “edit Image” can wait for the user, and “remove Background” can be denied outright.
- 03Any agent can actYour agent calls PhotoRoom through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
await arc0.policies.set('photoroom', { read: 'allow', write: 'ask', // edit_image destructive: 'deny', // remove_background }) # Claude Code: the same connection, one URL $ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \ https://mcp.arc0.ai/u/u_8f2
How PhotoRoom connects.
Users add their PhotoRoom api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.
The same PhotoRoom connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →
- AUTH
- API key
- CREDENTIALS
- Per-tenant encrypted vault
- MODEL SEES
- Results only, never credentials
- AUDIT LOG
- Every call, on every plan
Use PhotoRoom from any agent.

PhotoRoom and Arc0, answered.
Can I use PhotoRoom with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. Connect PhotoRoom to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the PhotoRoom actions you allow.
How do users connect PhotoRoom?
Users add their PhotoRoom api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.
Which PhotoRoom actions can my agent take?
4 in total: 1 read, 2 write and 1 destructive, such as “edit Image”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.
Can I stop my agent from deleting things in PhotoRoom?
Yes. Actions like “remove Background” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.
Can my own backend call PhotoRoom too?
Yes. The same PhotoRoom connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
Plug PhotoRoom into your agent.
Your users connect PhotoRoom once, under your brand. Your agent gets 4 actions behind your policies, with every call on the record.
