DesignGen

Agent-assisted setup

Connect DesignGen to Claude

Add DesignGen to claude.ai, the Claude desktop app, or Claude Code. All three connect to the same remote MCP server over OAuth.

The copied brief contains the MCP command, a self-contained DesignGen skill, OAuth handoff instructions, and a read-only verification checklist. It never includes a token or authorizes paid work.

Secure handoff

Let your agent configure everything it safely can.

Paste the copied Markdown into Claude. It will inspect existing configuration, add DesignGen MCP, install the workflow skill where supported, and open OAuth. Your account and approval choices stay with you.

  1. 01

    Copy the setup

    One button copies the complete agent-readable brief.

  2. 02

    Agent configures

    Claude adds MCP and installs the DesignGen skill where supported.

  3. 03

    You authorize

    Sign in, review scopes and policy, then approve access.

Your agent handles

  • Checks existing MCP configuration before changing it.
  • Adds the production Streamable HTTP endpoint.
  • Installs the self-contained DesignGen workflow skill.
  • Verifies OAuth and connection status without spending credits.

Only you handle

  • Signing in to your DesignGen account.
  • Reviewing the scopes requested by Claude.
  • Choosing the approval policy you are comfortable with.
  • Approving or denying the OAuth connection.

Which Claude are you using?

claude.ai and the Claude desktop app share one connector list, so adding DesignGen in either place enables it in both. Claude Code is configured separately, per machine.

  • claude.ai (web) or Claude desktop app: add DesignGen as a custom connector in Settings.
  • Claude Code (terminal, IDE extension, or desktop): add it with the claude mcp add command.
  • Signing in is always done by you in a browser. No agent should ever ask you to paste a token.

claude.ai and the Claude desktop app

Add DesignGen once as a custom connector, then authorize it in the browser window Claude opens.

  • Open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.
  • Paste the DesignGen connector URL below and confirm.
  • Claude opens a DesignGen sign-in window. Review the requested scopes and approve.
  • Start a new chat and ask Claude to call mcp_connection_status to confirm the connection.

Claude Code

Add the server from any terminal. Use --scope user to make DesignGen available in every project rather than only the current one.

  • Run /mcp inside Claude Code to start the OAuth flow if it does not open automatically.
  • Approve the scopes in the browser window that opens.
  • Ask Claude to call mcp_connection_status. It should report your account email and your active brand.

Add DesignGen for all of your projects

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user designgen https://mcp.trydesigngen.com/mcp

Then authorize, and confirm it is connected

claude mcp list

Check that it is working

A healthy connection answers all three of these without you naming any tools.

  • Ask "which DesignGen brand am I working in?" — Claude should report your active brand, not ask you for an ID.
  • Ask "make me a summer tee design" — Claude should generate and show you the image inline.
  • Ask "what have I generated recently?" — Claude should list prior generations.

If Claude does not use DesignGen on its own

The server tells Claude what it is for at connection time, so this is usually a connection problem rather than a prompting problem.

  • Confirm the connector is enabled for the current chat. In claude.ai, check the connector is toggled on.
  • In Claude Code, run /mcp and confirm designgen is listed as connected rather than failed.
  • If the connection expired, reconnect from Settings. Expired grants fail quietly.
  • Ask Claude to call designgen_mcp_guide for workflow guidance before giving up on a complex task.
