MCP Server

Overview

Connect AI assistants to your Masset content library via the Model Context Protocol

The Masset MCP Server provides access to content stored within Masset from external AI platforms such as Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible clients. This allows for the decentralization of content use and consumption, while permitting Marketing and Sales teams to keep a pulse on what assets are being used. For more information about the Model Context Protocol, you can read the official MCP documentation.

What you can do

Using the Masset MCP Server, you can:

  1. Search assets — find content by keyword, semantic meaning, or a combination of both. Apply filters by tags, collections, MIME types, and date ranges.
  2. Retrieve metadata — get detailed file information including name, description, file type, size, properties, tags, colors, and detected objects.
  3. Read asset content — access extracted text content including raw text, summaries, OCR text, and transcriptions.
  4. Preview assets — view JPEG thumbnail previews inline in AI conversations.
  5. Explore taxonomy — discover available tags, collections, and categories to refine your searches.
  6. Analyze performance — rank assets by downloads, views, or shares over configurable time windows.

The MCP server exposes 8 read-only tools that AI clients auto-discover upon connection.
