Dapper MCP

Add Dapper MCP to Claude

Add the connector once, log in with your Dapper MCP account, and Claude can make images in every chat where the connector is turned on.

The connector address

This is the address you give Claude:

https://mcp.dappermcp.com/mcp

Add to Claude

"Add to Claude" opens Claude's "Add custom connector" form on claude.ai with the name and address already filled in. Check them, then click Add. Nothing is added until you confirm.

You need a Dapper MCP account to connect. Sign up or log in first, and choose a plan so Claude has credits to make images with.

claude.ai and Claude Design

  1. Open claude.ai and go to Customize, then Connectors.
  2. Select Add, then Add custom connector.
  3. Enter the name Dapper MCP, paste the connector address above, and click Continue.
  4. Leave the sign-in settings Claude marks as Detected as they are, and click Add.
  5. Click Connect. Claude opens a Dapper MCP page where you log in and allow the connection (see what the sign-in looks like).

Claude Design runs inside your Claude chats, so when the connector is turned on in a chat, Claude can use it for the designs it makes there. In a chat, you can turn connectors on or off with the + button, under Connectors.

Custom connectors are available on every Claude plan; the Free plan allows one. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an Owner of the organization adds the connector (under Organization settings, then Connectors) and each member then clicks Connect and logs in with their own Dapper MCP account.

Claude desktop app

Connectors belong to your Claude account, so a connector you added on claude.ai also appears in the desktop app. To add it from the desktop app instead, follow the same steps there: Customize, Connectors, Add, Add custom connector.

Claude Code

  1. In a terminal, run: claude mcp add --transport http dapper https://mcp.dappermcp.com/mcp
  2. Start Claude Code, type /mcp, choose dapper and choose to authenticate. Your browser opens the Dapper MCP sign-in page.
  3. Log in and click Allow, then return to Claude Code.

The connector asks Claude Code to download each image into your project, so the copy you keep does not depend on the image's link, which works for 7 days.

Other apps

Other apps that can connect to a remote MCP server and sign in with OAuth can use the same address. Add it as a remote (HTTP) MCP server in the app's settings; the app then opens the Dapper MCP sign-in page in your browser. We test with Claude, so the steps in other apps may differ.

What the sign-in looks like

When you connect, your browser opens a page on this website titled "Connect to your Dapper MCP account".

  1. If you are not logged in, you log in (or sign up) first with your Dapper MCP email address and password. This is not your Claude password.
  2. The page shows the address you will be sent back to, for example claude.ai, or "an app running on this computer" for Claude Code.
  3. It says what the app will be able to do: make images using your account's credits. Nothing else.
  4. Click Allow if you started the connection yourself and recognise the address, or Deny if not.

The connection then appears under Connections on your account page, where you can disconnect it at any time.

Choose the model

On your account page, under "Image model your Claude connector uses", choose the model, the quality and the largest size Claude may use, then click Save connector settings. The table there shows, for each model, the credits one image uses, about how many images your plan makes, how long an image takes, and a sample picture. The next image uses the new settings; you do not need to reconnect.

If something goes wrong

Claude asks you to connect or sign in again
Open the connector in Claude (Customize, then Connectors) and click Connect, or in Claude Code type /mcp and authenticate again. Then log in and click Allow.
Claude says your plan has ended or you have no credits left
Check your plan and credits on your account page. Credits renew at the start of each paid month.
The connector stopped working, or you want to start over
On your account page, click Disconnect next to the connection. Then remove the connector in Claude, add it again and log in.
You connected the wrong account
Disconnect it on that account's page. When you connect again, the sign-in page has a link to use a different account.
You forgot your password
