Unsplash MCP

Unsplash is a big library of free, high-quality photos. Its official connector lets Claude pick images for you, like "find five warm, natural-light photos of a café for the website hero", and save them into a collection.

It's in Claude's connector directory, so on the web or desktop you add it under Settings > Connectors and sign in with your Unsplash account. In Claude Code, run the command below and sign in through /mcp.

It pairs well with a website or deck Claude is building, so the placeholders become real photos. Check each image's licence before you use it in an ad.

• Search photos and illustrations from your description
• Find images that look like one you upload
• Find related photos and featured collections
• Create collections and bookmark images for a project
• Pull image links for a blog post, website or deck

Open your terminal (the text window where you run Claude Code) in your project folder, then paste this command to connect it:

claude mcp add --transport http unsplash https://mcp.unsplash.com/mcp

The first time you use it, you'll be asked to sign in or paste an API key (a private code from the app that lets Claude use your account).

Anyone building websites, blog posts, decks or social posts who needs good photos fast.
