Connects to Cutout Labs' background removal service. Muse can take a local image or a public URL and return a transparent PNG cutout, or the subject on a solid colour, with optional cropping and size settings. Includes a check of remaining free daily calls. Requires a Cutout Labs API key.

Example request: "Remove the background from these three product photos and give me transparent PNGs I can use in my online shop."

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use Cutout Lab to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://api.cutoutlabs.com/mcp. It needs an API key from Cutout Labs; ask me to enter it through your secure credential prompt. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.

Tools:
- remove_background: Remove the background from an image and return the cutout. Provide exactly one of image_url or image_base64. Returns a transparent PNG by default, or the subject on a solid colour when bg_color is set.
- get_quota: Return how many free remove_background calls remain today for the API key.
