Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

BackGone removes image backgrounds with a production AI engine (hair, fur and product edges at commercial quality). Tools: check_photo_requirements (free, passport/ID photo rules per country, with official source + verification date), get_pricing (free, API credit top-ups and subscription tiers), remove_background (1 API credit per successful image; requires an API key). To use remove_background, create an API key at https://backgone.com/settings/apikeys, buy prepaid API credits at https://backgone.com/pricing (API credits are separate from website credits and never expire), then reconnect with the request header "Authorization: Bearer sk_...". remove_background accepts a public HTTPS image URL or base64 image bytes and returns the transparent PNG/WebP inline. Failed calls are not charged. Full documentation: https://backgone.com/developers — OpenAPI: https://backgone.com/openapi.json

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http backgone-mcp https://backgone.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add backgone-mcp --url https://backgone.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable backgone-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "backgone-mcp": {
      "url": "https://backgone.com/mcp"
    }
  }
