What is an MCP server?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets Claude securely plug into outside tools. This one is the bridge between Claude and VSCO Workspace.

The standard

MCP is how AI assistants like Claude talk to real apps and data in a safe, permissioned way — think of it as a universal adapter.

The bridge

This server wraps the VSCO Workspace API. It authenticates with your VSCO key and exposes your studio to Claude — nothing more.

The result

You chat; Claude does the work. Ask questions and make updates in the same conversation, in the words you'd actually use.

What you can ask

Talk to your studio like you'd talk to an assistant. A few examples:

Look things up

Show my open jobs this week Who are the contacts on the Smith wedding? What's the order and pricing on job 1234? Has the Lee family paid in full? List my newest leads

Update your studio

Set Smith Wedding's lead status to sent quote Move Tuesday's shoot to Thursday at 2pm Add a note: client wants matte prints

Create records

Create a new job for the Rivera engagement Add Jane Doe as a new contact Schedule a consult call next Monday

Plain-English answers

Claude reads your VSCO data and summarizes it — pricing breakdowns, payment status, who's booked when.

Safe by design

Start with a read-only key, and edits use a safe merge so untouched fields are never wiped.

Add your VSCO key & start the trial

You'll paste your VSCO API key once and add a card. The card isn't charged until day 4 — cancel before then for $0. Tip: start with a read-only VSCO key while you get comfortable.

Recommended: start read-only

Claude can make real changes to your studio, and some edits are hard to undo. Create a read-only VSCO key first and use it as a source to ask questions and get comfortable. Once you trust it, swap in a full-access key (just re-add the connector) to approve data changes. Get your key at workspace.vsco.co/settings/api.

Frequently asked questions

What is an MCP server?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude securely connect to outside tools and data. This MCP server is the bridge between Claude and the VSCO Workspace API. Once you connect it, Claude can read and update your VSCO Studio on your behalf using your own VSCO key — no copy-pasting, no custom code.

Do I need a paid Claude plan?

Yes. Custom connectors require Claude Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise. Free Claude accounts can't add connectors.

How do I get my VSCO API key?

In VSCO Workspace, go to Settings → API (workspace.vsco.co/settings/api) and generate a key. You paste it once during the one-time connector setup.

Should I start with a read-only key?

We recommend it. Create a read-only VSCO key first and use it as a source to ask questions and get comfortable. Claude can make real changes to your studio, and some edits are hard to undo — so start read-only, get a feel for it, then switch to a full-access key once you're ready to approve data changes. To swap keys, just re-add the connector in Claude.

What can it actually do?

Read jobs, leads, contacts, orders, payments, galleries, and calendar events; safely update jobs, contacts, events, and galleries; and create jobs, leads, contacts, events, products, custom fields, and notes. Creates a safe “PATCH” by performing an auto GET/POST every time you ask for a change to a job with existing data, bypassing the need for dedicated PATCH commands within VSCO.

Is my VSCO API key safe?

Your key is encrypted at rest (Google Cloud KMS) and used only to make the VSCO calls you ask for — it's never logged. You can revoke it anytime from VSCO, and disconnect the connector from Claude whenever you like.

How do I cancel?

Cancel anytime, in a couple of clicks, with no penalty. Use the “Manage subscription” button on this page (or ask Claude to open your billing portal) and cancel there. Cancel during the 4-day free trial and you're charged $0.

How much does it cost?

$9.99/month after a 4-day free trial. A card is required at signup but isn't charged until day 4 — cancel before then for free.

Is this an official VSCO or Claude product?

No. This is an independent, third-party connector. It is not made by, endorsed by, or affiliated with VSCO or Anthropic (Claude). “VSCO” and “Claude” are trademarks of their respective owners.
