ChatGPT
Directory app coming soonA Simple Photo Gallery app for the ChatGPT directory is in preparation. Where your ChatGPT plan lets you add a custom MCP connector, you can use the manual setup below in the meantime.
Connect an AI client: Organize your galleries from the AI assistant you already use.
Connect Simple Photo Gallery to ChatGPT, Claude or another MCP client. Ask it to sort a trip, pick covers or tidy a gallery. It can edit your drafts and, with your permission, publish them. You choose the access you grant when connecting.

Current setup guides: ChatGPT custom MCP apps · Claude custom connectors.
Claude
Manual setupAdd Simple Photo Gallery as a custom connector using the server address below, where your Claude plan supports remote MCP connectors.
Other MCP clients
Manual setupAny client that can add a remote MCP server over HTTP with OAuth sign-in. Clients that support MCP Apps also show an interactive gallery workspace.
Manual setup
Set it up in four steps.
- 01
Add a remote MCP server
Open your AI client’s settings for connectors or MCP servers and add a new remote server. Menu names vary between clients and change over time; check your client’s current help pages.
- 02
Paste the server address
Use the address above. If the client asks for an authentication type, choose OAuth. You don’t need an API key.
- 03
Sign in and review permissions
A Simple Photo Gallery sign-in window opens. Check the permissions your client is asking for before you allow access.
- 04
Ask for your galleries
Start with “Show my galleries.” Your client lists them and can open a draft to work on.
Try asking
Tell your assistant what you want to make.
Your AI client does the reasoning. Simple Photo Gallery provides your galleries, photo details and saved analysis, and saves the edits to your draft.
- Show my galleries and open the Japan trip.
- Group these photos into sections by location. Show me the proposal first.
- Suggest a title for each section and a cover photo for the gallery.
- Hide the selected photos, keeping the originals in my library.
- Restore the previous layout of my Australia gallery.
- Publish the gallery once I confirm.
What it won’t do
- It doesn’t retouch photos, remove objects or generate images.
- It doesn’t post to social networks or control a camera.
- Video analysis uses sampled frames. Audio isn’t transcribed or analyzed.
- Publishing and permanent deletion require the corresponding permissions. Grant only the access you need.
What it costs
Simple Photo Gallery doesn’t charge for the connection. The conversation runs on your AI client under its own subscription and usage limits. When your client asks Simple Photo Gallery to analyze photos that have no analysis yet, that uses your plan’s monthly AI photo allowance, the same one the gallery editor uses. Simple Photo Gallery photo analysis is in early access for selected accounts, including requests made through MCP. Connecting a client does not unlock it. Storage follows your plan.
Permissions and data
You see what your client asks for before you allow it.
The sign-in screen lists the permissions your client requests. These are the permissions Simple Photo Gallery offers:
| Permission | What it allows | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| See your galleries | List galleries and read drafts, sections and captions. | galleries:read |
| Edit drafts | Create galleries, arrange sections, edit captions, hide photos. | galleries:write |
| Publish | Publish a gallery draft. Grant this only if you want your client to publish. | galleries:publish |
| Change who can view | Set public, unlisted or private access and edit the viewer list. | galleries:access |
| See your photo library | Read photos, videos, metadata (including location) and saved analysis. | assets:read |
| Upload photos | Add photos and files you attach in the conversation. | assets:write |
| Delete originals | Permanently delete photos from your library. Separate from hiding. | assets:delete |
| Run photo analysis | Analyze photos that have no analysis yet, using your AI allowance. | ai:run |
What your AI client can see
With the corresponding permissions, your client can receive original photos, captions, location metadata and saved analysis when it requests them, including from private galleries. That data is then handled under your AI provider’s terms. Grant access only to AI clients you trust with your photo library.
Draft edits and publishing are separate
Edits are saved to a draft. If you edit the same gallery in the browser at the same time, your client is told to reload instead of overwriting your changes. A client with publishing permission can make a draft live. Hiding a photo, removing it from one gallery and deleting the original are separate actions.
Disconnect and support
Revoke access at any time.
Disconnect a client in Account → Connected apps. Its access ends; your galleries stay as they are. Data the client already received stays with that client.
- The connection expired
- Reconnect from your AI client and sign in again.
- An edit conflicts with a newer version
- Ask your client to reload the gallery and review the latest draft.
- An upload failed
- Retry the file, or start a new upload.
- Something else
- Email [email protected] with what you asked for and roughly when. Never send passwords or access tokens.
