Remove background

Cut a subject to a transparent PNG with a local heuristic — good for product shots and simple studio photos, honest about hair and glass.

What it does

Call this tool (id: image_remove_background) to produce a cutout PNG with alpha. Pass uploadSessionId, mediaKey, or image_url — not image bytes.

Example use cases

Marketplace listings that need a clean PNG without a separate remove.bg account.
Agent pipelines that cut out a product, then overlay or collage in the same toolbox.
Public website dropzone: 3 free per day without an account, 5 when signed in.
Remote MCP at /mcp/remove-bg for ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok (Clerk OAuth, same entitlement).

How it works in Toolporten

Humans use /remove-bg. Agents add the fixed remote MCP /mcp/remove-bg (Clerk OAuth, 5 free/day or pack or Pro — not toolbox credits). Or add image_remove_background to a slim image toolbox at 2 credits with image_overlay, image_collage, or image_resize (mode=preset for social sizes).

Use in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, or other AI tools

Add one remote MCP URL, sign in with your Toolporten account, and get 5 free removals per day. Same cutout as this page — not toolbox credits. Agents send an upload link or a public image URL — they do not paste image base64.

Grok: Custom Connector → paste the URL → sign in with Clerk.
Claude: Add connector → paste the URL → allow Background Remover.
ChatGPT: Add MCP / connector → paste the URL → complete OAuth.
