Tips for a clean setup

💡 Use the setup page as the source of truth

The Picsart MCP page has the current URL and connector instructions. If Claude's interface changes, start there before trying old setup steps.

💡 Start with a small test prompt

After Claude shows the connector, try one simple prompt, like 'Create a square abstract background for a social post.' Then move into larger creative requests.

💡 Use the CLI only for CLI workflows

Picsart CLI is useful for terminal workflows, but it is not required for this Claude connector setup.

💡 Check the account you connect

If Claude asks you to authorize or reconnect, finish that prompt with the Picsart account you want to use for generations and edits.
