Astria for Claude

Generate images and videos, edit images, reuse references, and run photoshoot templates with Astria directly in Claude. The plugin includes shared Astria skills and connects to https://mcp.astria.ai/mcp. No local executable, Python installation, API key, or client secret is needed for remote workflows.

Connect

Install the plugin, open its Connectors tab, and connect Astria. When prompted, choose Sign in now, then Register automatically (DCR); leave client IDs, secrets, and custom headers empty. Claude registers its OAuth client automatically through Dynamic Client Registration (DCR), opens Astria sign-in and consent, and stores and refreshes credentials. Each person connects their own Astria account. Ask Claude to identify the connected account before using a shared workspace.

In Claude Code, install astria@astria from the extracted release marketplace (see the repository README) and use /mcp to authenticate. For a local preview:

python3 scripts/sync-plugin.py
claude --plugin-dir ./dist/marketplace/plugins/astria-claude

On claude.ai, use Customize > Plugins > Add > Upload plugin to upload astria-claude-X.Y.Z.zip, then connect Astria. The hosted connection works across web, Claude Desktop, and the iOS and Android apps. Availability of interactive displays and host controls depends on the Claude surface.

Use Astria

You can describe the result without naming Astria, for example "put this dress on the same model in two locations", "make professional headshots from my photos", or "photograph this product for my store". Focused workflows preserve the selected person/product references and the requested shot count. An explicitly selected other provider remains your choice; prompt advice and storyboard writing do not submit media.

• Ask Claude to generate an image or video, or edit an image at an accessible HTTPS URL. Generation uses your Astria credits.
• Ask to browse your Astria generations. The gallery is read-only and supports personal or shared workspaces, previews, refresh, and media links.
• Reuse existing references for a consistent person or product. Create a reference from accessible HTTPS images when needed.
• Run a photoshoot template on your references.

On hosts supporting MCP Apps, results display in the conversation with live image and video previews. The widget refreshes pending results without submitting another generation. Downloads use supported host controls or open the original media. ChatGPT-specific global navigation is not a Claude feature; ask Claude to open the Astria gallery. Hosts without interactive UI can still retrieve status and returned media URLs.

Local uploads, video inspection/Variate, template authoring, and landing-page editing need the separately installed Astria CLI and its independent login. Some included skills describe these optional workflows; Claude mobile cannot run terminal steps. An attachment is usable for generation only after an upload tool provides a real HTTPS URL accessible to Astria.

Privacy and support

OAuth credentials remain with the host. Embedded views receive only account- authorized result metadata; they receive no access token or website cookies. See Astria privacy, Astria terms, and support.

Developer references

• Plugin structure and testing
• Support across platforms
• OAuth, DCR, callbacks, and refresh
• MCP Apps
• Directory publication

The archive is a local preview. Public directory publication requires the repository changes to be available on GitHub and Anthropic review. Submit the remote MCP connector and plugin bundle from the same organization and use the same endpoint for both. Package validation alone does not establish a successful Claude OAuth connection or a mobile rendering test.
