Integration

LassoCut integration

Remove the background of product and portrait photos with LassoCut, a background removal API that accepts the same requests as the remove.bg API: cut out a subject from a file, base64 or public URL, recolour or replace the background, crop and position it, add a drop or cast shadow, or frame it to a marketplace's image rules (Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Shopify, Zalando, Instagram). Frame an existing cut-out for free, list the marketplace presets and read your credit balance. A background removal is billed in credits (preview 0.25, full size 1; 50 free previews a month), framing and the balance are free. Left out: the feedback route that sends a misprocessed image for LassoCut to keep. Authentication: an API key from the LassoCut account page, sent in the X-Api-Key header.

Connect LassoCut How integrations work

Ask it in chat

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in LassoCut.Built from the 4 LassoCut tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with LassoCut

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Each badge shows the default agent permission of an endpoint (allowed: an agent calls it without asking; ask first: you are asked before an agent calls it, when the agent or chat asks permission for sensitive actions; never: no agent may call it), which every user can change endpoint by endpoint in their credential settings.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Image, 2 operations

compose_cutoutCompose cutoutPOSTAgents: ask firstFrames, shadows and colours a cut-out you already have (a transparent PNG, for example from remove_background) into a marketplace-ready image; it removes no background. Free: never charged, nothing stored. Returns the image file.
remove_backgroundRemove backgroundPOSTAgents: ask firstRemoves the background of one image (send exactly one of image_file, image_file_b64 or image_url) and returns the result as an image file. Billed: preview 0.25 credit (default), full or 50MP 1 credit; an error costs nothing.

Account, 1 operation

get_accountGet accountGETAgents: ask firstReturns your LassoCut credit balance (total, payg, subscription, enterprise) and free_calls, the free previews you can still use now (at most 10 a day and what is left of the 50 this month). Free of charge.

Preset, 1 operation

list_presetsList presetsGETAgents: ask firstReturns the marketplace presets (amazon, ebay, etsy, shopify, zalando, instagram) with their rules: canvas size, background, how much the product fills, output format, file-size cap and whether a shadow is allowed.

Use LassoCut from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect LassoCut in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its LassoCut operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

How to connect LassoCut

Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect LassoCut once
Add your LassoCut connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
Describe the job in chat
The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
