Shade is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Search, inspect, organize, annotate, share, and automate creative assets in Shade. As an MCP server it plugs straight into AI assistants, exposing its functionality as tools the model can invoke on your behalf.
It's a hosted (remote) server — point your client at https://mcp.shade.inc/mcp and you're connected, with nothing to install locally. The current release is v0.3.0, with source at shade-labs/shade-mcp on GitHub.
You'll find Shade in the Development category here on mcp.site; it connects to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and any other MCP client — see the install snippets below.
