Nightjar MCP server for your assistant.

Every client uses the same server URL. Connecting is free and starts no work; you choose the Team whose products, Library and credits the assistant can use.

Claude

1. 1
   In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors.
2. 2
   Click +, then Add custom connector. Name it Nightjar and paste the URL above.
3. 3
   Click Connect, sign in to Nightjar, choose your Team and approve.
4. 4
   Start a new chat and ask Claude to check your Nightjar connection.

Available on every Claude plan, including Free, which allows one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner first adds Nightjar in Organization settings, then Connectors; members connect their own account from Customize, then Connectors. Once added on the web, Nightjar also works in the desktop app, Cowork and the Claude mobile apps.

Claude Code

1. 1
   Add the server from your terminal:

   claude mcp add --transport http nightjar https://mcp.nightjar.so/mcpCopy
2. 2
   In Claude Code, run /mcp, choose nightjar and sign in when your browser opens.
3. 3
   Choose your Team, approve, and return to the terminal.

/mcp shows Nightjar as connected once you are signed in. To use it in every project, add --scope user to the command.

Codex

1. 1
   Add the server:

   codex mcp add nightjar --url https://mcp.nightjar.so/mcpCopy
2. 2
   Sign in:

3. 3
   Choose your Team in the browser, approve, and start a new session.

Other MCP clients

Any client that supports remote servers over Streamable HTTP with OAuth can connect. Point it at the server URL. It finds the sign-in server through https://mcp.nightjar.so/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp and registers itself. Clients configured with JSON usually take:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nightjar": {
      "url": "https://mcp.nightjar.so/mcp"
    }
  }
}

OpenAI currently allows custom apps that create things, rather than only read, in ChatGPT Business, Enterprise and Edu workspaces, on ChatGPT on the web. A workspace admin or owner sets Nightjar up once; members then connect their own Nightjar account.

1. 1
   Turn on developer mode. On Business, an admin or owner turns it on for themselves while creating the app. On Enterprise and Edu, it is under Settings, then Apps, then Advanced settings, and admins can grant it to other members.
2. 2
   In Workspace settings, open Apps, then Create. Name it Nightjar, paste https://mcp.nightjar.so/mcp and choose OAuth.
3. 3
   Click Scan Tools, sign in to Nightjar, choose a Team and approve. Then click Create. The app is saved as a draft.
4. 4
   Test it in a new chat by selecting Nightjar from the tools menu.
5. 5
   In Workspace settings, open Apps, then Drafts, and publish Nightjar to the workspace.

Adding the server opens a Nightjar sign-in page in your browser. Sign in, choose one Team and review the permissions. The connection uses that Team’s products, Library, Recipes and credits, and your current access to it: leaving the Team or revoking the connection ends its access.

A read-only connection never sees the tools that create or change anything. Access tokens last 15 minutes and renew automatically with a 30-day refresh token, so you rarely sign in again. Clients that ask for offline_access, such as ChatGPT, get the same refresh token and no extra access.

Talk to the assistant the way you would brief a photographer. Attach a photo, name a saved Product or paste a product link.

• “Check which Nightjar Team I connected.”
• “Make a square main image of this on pure white for Amazon.”
• “Import my product from this link and show me the photos before saving it.”
• “Show me Fashion Models in their thirties, then put this jacket on the one I pick.”
• “Make a photoshoot of my candle on warm oak, evening light.”
• “Save this setup as a Recipe called Summer.”
• “Apply Summer to every product in my Linen collection. Show me three samples first.”
• “Remove the glass from the second photo, then upscale it to 4K.”

Nightjar photographs real products. It works from your photos or saved Products, not from a description of something that doesn’t exist yet.

The assistant picks tools for you; you never need to name them. They are listed here for builders and for anyone reviewing what the connection can do.

One more tool, confirm_picker, is hidden from the assistant. Only your own choice in a picker can confirm a selection.

New Nightjar accounts start with 6 free credits and no credit card. Plans start at US$25 a month for 150 credits; see pricing.

Every paid tool takes max_credits, the ceiling you approved. A request that would cost more returns credit_approval_required before anything is reserved, so the assistant tells you the price first. get_connection reports current prices.

Paid requests also carry a request_key. Repeating the same key and input after a dropped connection returns the original job instead of starting and charging again. While images are running, get_generation can wait up to 20 seconds per call with wait_seconds; waiting is free.

If the Team needs a plan or more credits, the assistant returns a signed-in Nightjar billing link for that Team. Returning from checkout never starts images on its own.

For a catalog, the assistant plans a batch of 1 to 100 items: the same setup across many Products, or different work per item. The plan shows the sources, settings, number of images and cost, and planning is free.

For a new look, you approve a few samples first, review them, then approve the rest. The batch keeps running after you close the chat; ask for your batches in any new conversation to pick it up. Pausing or stopping releases credits held for unstarted items, and nothing that finished or failed is rerun without your approval.

To let the assistant improve results on its own, agree a brief and a total credit budget. It records that with authorize_batch_refinement and can never spend past it.

The assistant can’t send your photo to Nightjar

Some chat apps limit where their sandbox can upload. Ask for a Nightjar upload link, add your photos on that page and press Done, then tell the assistant you finished.

A new Nightjar tool is missing

In Claude, open the Nightjar connector and refresh its tools list, then start a new chat. Existing chats keep the tools they started with.

Wrong account or Team

Disconnect, connect again and choose the right Team on the Nightjar approval page.

No tools that create images

The connection is read-only. Reconnect and approve write access.

Sign-in expired or was cancelled

Start connecting again from the assistant and finish in the same browser.

Not enough credits

Follow the billing link the assistant returns, or ask the Team owner to add credits.

Still stuck? Email hello@nightjar.so with the client you use and roughly when it happened. Never send tokens or passwords.

Access ends immediately. Images you already made stay in your Nightjar Library.

The assistant only sees what the connected Team can see, and only through the scopes you approved. Product pages, file names, batch names and directions are treated as content, never as instructions to the assistant. Deleting always shows you a review first and needs your explicit confirmation.

Nightjar does not use your uploads or generated images to train models for other customers unless you opt in. Read the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
