Cadru with your AI assistant

Tell it what you want - from a link, photos or an idea - and the carousel lands in your editor. It can also change the open one while you watch: “make the title bigger”, “put this photo on slide 3”.

Simplest: paste this message into your chat with the assistant

Connect to Cadru so you can make carousels for me: the instructions are at https://cadru.photo/ai

The address to connect (MCP)

https://cadru.photo/mcp/carousel

Claude - web, phone, desktop

  1. Open Settings, then Connectors, then “Add custom connector”.
  2. Name: Cadru. URL: the address above. Add.
  3. Press Connect: cadru.photo opens - enter your email and the code you receive (a new email gets an account on the spot), then Allow.
  4. Start a new chat and ask for a carousel.

Claude Code (terminal)

claude mcp add --scope user --transport http cadru https://cadru.photo/mcp/carousel

Then type /mcp, pick “cadru” and Authenticate - cadru.photo opens for your email, the code and Allow.

ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and other apps

Add a remote MCP server with the address above and OAuth authentication. Client registration is automatic.

Photos on your phone or computer

On your computer: with Claude Code or the desktop app, just name the folder - it sends them straight into the carousel (photos, clips, SVGs) through a private 15-minute link. On your phone: open cadru.photo/post (signed in), drop them into the Library and tell the assistant they are there - it lays the carousel out from them. Don't send them into the chat one by one.

What it can do

  • Make a new carousel from links, photos or an article - or a folder on your computer, clips and SVGs too
  • Builds it like a carousel from the Cadru Feed, frame by frame, with your photos and words
  • Edit the carousel open in the editor - texts, photos, shapes, slide order
  • Check it before Instagram: cut-off text, text too small, blurry photos
  • Photo albums and zines, no account: cadru.photo/mcp

For AI assistants

If you are an assistant and the person asks you to connect to Cadru: the MCP server for carousels is https://cadru.photo/mcp/carousel (Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1 with the Cadru account, dynamic client registration). In claude.ai and the Claude apps you cannot add the connector yourself - give the person the steps above. Photos, clips and SVGs on the person's computer (if you can run commands): upload_link, then curl - only the files they asked for. The full instructions, per kind of client: https://cadru.photo/llms.txt. The server card: https://cadru.photo/.well-known/mcp.json
