Its integrations page lists a Zapier app that triggers when galleries are created, shared or approved, plus Lightroom and Capture One plugins and Dropbox, Google Drive and Box imports. No Picflow MCP server and no official ChatGPT or Claude connector was verified. Picflow publishes no API and no MCP server, only a Zapier app with a few triggers and actions (checked 13 Nov 2026). Cotlet runs a hosted Picflow MCP server with 13 tools that ChatGPT and Claude use in your own Picflow workspace.

Your agent works in your own signed-in Cloud Browser. Replies, access changes and anything your clients see wait for your OK. ## How to connect Picflow to your AI agent 1. **Sign in to Picflow in a Cloud Browser.** Open app.picflow.com in your Cotlet Cloud Browser and log in with your own Picflow account. 2. **Add the Cotlet address.** Enter https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 as the MCP server or connector URL in your agent. 3. **Let the agent in.** Chat apps open a Cotlet sign-in page. Editors, n8n and scripts send an API key made in the console. Picflow lives on the shared address `https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1` with every other app you turn on, so a single connector covers it. Turned Picflow on after connecting? Refresh the connector and the 13 Picflow tools load.

Tools with an `action` only read on `list` and `get`; the other actions write and ask first. ### Galleries and files Uploads, cloud imports, folders, moving and the sections a gallery is built from. - **Upload images and videos** (`upload_assets`, write, asks first): Create a gallery if needed and upload images, videos or other files into it. - **Import from Dropbox, Google Drive and Box** (`import_from_cloud_storage`, write, asks first): Create a gallery from files in Dropbox, Google Drive or Box through Select Source. - **Organize galleries in folders** (`manage_folders`, write, asks first): List folders and galleries, create, rename or move a folder, unfold it, or delete it. - **Move, copy or delete galleries** (`move_copy_gallery`, write, asks first): Move or copy a gallery to a folder or into another gallery as a Sub-Gallery, or delete it. - **Edit gallery sections** (`manage_gallery_sections`, write, asks first): List, add, reorder or delete the sections of a gallery: images, sub-gallery, text or embed. ### Sharing Link access, passwords, guests, and the links and embed codes you hand out. - **Set gallery access** (`manage_gallery_access`, write, asks first): Read or set who can open a gallery: link access, password, team access and invited guests. - **Get share links and embed codes** (`get_share_links`, read): Get the link of a gallery or folder, or a gallery's embed code with its display options. ### Feedback and approvals What reviewers said and picked, your answers, and the gallery's review rules. - **Read client feedback** (`read_feedback`, read): Read a gallery's feedback: favorites, comments, annotations, approval flags, labels and statuses. - **Reply to comments** (`reply_to_comment`, write, asks first): Reply to a reviewer's comment on an asset. - **Add image annotations** (`add_annotation`, write, asks first): Draw an arrow, line, circle or brush mark on an image, with a note. - **Set asset status** (`set_asset_status`, write, asks first): Set one or many assets to Needs Review, In Progress, Approved or Rejected. - **Configure review and download options** (`configure_review_settings`, write, asks first): Turn review tools and downloads on or off for a gallery, set Approve-Only and an Approval Limit. ### Team Workspace members and their roles. Needs an owner or admin login. - **Manage team members and roles** (`manage_team_members`, write, asks first): List workspace members with their roles, invite a member, change a role or remove someone. Inputs, REST path and example response of every tool: https://cotlet.dev/integrations/picflow-api-mcp-server#tools ## Who can see my Picflow session, and how do I revoke it? - **What we store.** Your logged-in Picflow browser profile, AES-256-GCM encrypted, in Finland. Never your password. - **What your agent gets.** The 13 Picflow tools. The session cookie stays in the Cloud Browser. - **What the session sees.** The galleries your Picflow role can open. A gallery hidden from the team stays hidden from an agent on a member login. - **What no tool touches.** Billing and plan, storage add-ons, branding, your account email and security settings, and deleting the workspace. - **If Picflow logs you out.** You log in again yourself, in the same Cloud Browser. - **How to cut access.** Disable Picflow for agents, reset the browser, or change your Picflow password. You type your Picflow password yourself; the agent only uses the session that login leaves behind. Our site scores A+ on Qualys SSL Labs, securityheaders.com and Mozilla Observatory ([live results](https://cotlet.dev/security.md)). ## What happens when Picflow changes? Picflow's Zapier article, dated November 2025, says more triggers and actions are coming. When Picflow's screens change, Cotlet updates the Picflow server, and your prompts and scripts keep working. Plan features follow your workspace: without Pro there are no color labels for the agent to read, and without Biz no team-only comments. If Picflow logs you out, one click in the Cotlet console reopens the Cloud Browser so you can log in again. ## Approvals, undo and mistakes 1. **Read the feedback.** read_feedback finds the change requests. 2. **Draft the replies.** You see each one before it posts. 3. **Post after your OK.** reply_to_comment answers the client. 4. **Mark the retouch.** add_annotation circles the area. | Action | How to put it right | |---|---| | Access, status or review settings | Call the same tool again with the earlier values | | Gallery moved or sections reordered | Move it back with move_copy_gallery or manage_gallery_sections | | Reply posted | Already visible to the reviewer: post a correction | | Gallery or folder deleted | The galleries are gone; deleting a folder deletes every gallery in it | 11 of the 13 tools ask first: by default you confirm each call, and you can switch that off per tool. get_share_links and read_feedback only read and run at once. MCP call: ``` { "name": "configure_review_settings", "arguments": { "gallery": "Lake House Wedding", "approve_only": true, "approval_limit": { "count": 100, "hard": false }, "downloads": { "enabled": false } } } ``` REST: ``` curl -X POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/picflow/review-settings/configure \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"gallery":"Lake House Wedding","approve_only":true,"approval_limit":{"count":100,"hard":false},"downloads":{"enabled":false}}' ``` Response: ``` { "gallery": "Lake House Wedding", "approve_only": true, "approval_limit": { "count": 100, "hard": false }, "downloads": { "enabled": false }, "saved": true } ``` The example switches Lake House Wedding to Approve-Only with a soft limit of 100 approvals, so clients can go past it, and turns downloads off. A cron job or n8n flow can make the same call over REST at `/api/v1/picflow` with the same key and price, in JSON. Failed calls are free. ## How much does the Picflow MCP server cost? **About $20 a month** for a photographer delivering about eight galleries a month, 3,500 credits. Your Picflow plan stays as it is. | Job | Calls | Credits | |---|---|---| | Evening feedback summary | 4 × 20 | 800 | | New client galleries, start to link | 4 × 8 | 320 | | Replies to client comments | 1 × 30 | 300 | | Retouch annotations | 1 × 20 | 200 | | Asset status updates | 1 × 20 | 200 | | Review and download settings | 1 × 8 | 80 | | Monthly move to Delivered | 10 × 1 | 100 | | Cloud Browser, 30 days | | 1,500 | | Total | 200 calls | 3,500 | The smallest pack, 5,000 credits for $29, covers this month. A studio with many reviewers per gallery uses more calls. - Free 7-day trial, no card - 10 credits per successful call, MCP or REST - 50 credits a day for the Cloud Browser - Your Picflow plan and storage as they are Credit packs are one-time purchases, not a subscription. The month above is our own example, not measured customer usage. ## Picflow MCP server: other ways to connect | Option | What it does | Where it stops | |---|---|---| | Picflow + Zapier | Triggers on created, shared or approved galleries; creates galleries, uploads, updates statuses. | No comments, replies, access or review settings. | | Lightroom and Capture One plugins | Publish from your editing app into Picflow. | Uploads only; no feedback or sharing work. | | Dropbox, Google Drive and Box | Import files into a new gallery. | One import at a time, by hand. | | By hand | Open each gallery and work through the comments. | Gallery by gallery, while you are at the screen. | If a Zap or the Lightroom plugin already gets your photos into Picflow, keep it. Cotlet fits when ChatGPT, Claude or a script should also read the feedback, answer clients and set access, from your own login, with nothing to host. ## Who runs Cotlet Take Group sp. z o.o. builds and runs Cotlet. It is a software company registered in Poland, EU (VAT PL6342984273), in business since 2019; its founders are Bart Krawczyk (Co-founder, CTO) and Jake Slugocki (Co-founder, SEO, sales and marketing). Questions about the Picflow tools go to contact@cotlet.dev. ## Picflow MCP server: questions ### How do I get access? Sign up free at https://cotlet.dev/signup?app=picflow, turn on Picflow under Integrations in the console and log in at https://app.picflow.com/ in your Cloud Browser. Then connect your AI agent and ask it about your galleries. The trial needs no card. ### Does Picflow have an API? Picflow publishes no API; its integrations are a Zapier app with a few triggers and actions, Lightroom and Capture One plugins, and Dropbox, Google Drive and Box imports (checked 13 Nov 2026). No Picflow MCP server and no official ChatGPT or Claude connector was verified. Cotlet does not need one: it works in your own signed-in Picflow account. ### Which Picflow plan do the tools need? The tools use what your plan has. Picflow's pricing page puts approval flags on Plus, color labels, version history and watermarks on Pro, and team-only comments and 10 included members on Biz. ### Do my clients need a Picflow account? Not for public or protected links: visitors and reviewers open the link without one. Guests invited to a private gallery need a Picflow account, as Picflow's sharing article says. ### Is the MCP server different from the REST API? Only in how it is called. Both carry the same 13 tools, inputs, answers, API key and price. Agents use MCP; scripts and n8n HTTP steps use REST. ### Is Cotlet affiliated with Picflow? No. Cotlet is independent and not affiliated with Picflow. --- Give your AI agents your signed-in browser. **Product:** [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/integrations.md) · [How it works](https://cotlet.dev/how-it-works.md) · [Pricing](https://cotlet.dev/pricing.md) · [Security](https://cotlet.dev/security.md) **Resources:** [Blog](https://cotlet.dev/blog.md) · [API docs](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [Help center](https://cotlet.dev/help.md) · [Changelog](https://cotlet.dev/changelog.md) · [GitHub](https://github.com/cotletdev/cotlet) **Solutions:** [For developers](https://cotlet.dev/for-developers.md) · [For automation agencies](https://cotlet.dev/for-agencies.md) **Company:** [About](https://cotlet.dev/about.md) · [AI info: company facts](https://cotlet.dev/ai-info.md) · [Contact](https://cotlet.dev/contact.md) **Legal:** [Terms of service](https://cotlet.dev/terms) · [Privacy policy](https://cotlet.dev/privacy) · [Refund policy](https://cotlet.dev/refunds) · [Acceptable use](https://cotlet.dev/acceptable-use) · [Cookie policy](https://cotlet.dev/cookies) · [DPA](https://cotlet.dev/dpa) · [Subprocessors](https://cotlet.dev/subprocessors) **Elsewhere:** [Status page](https://status.cotlet.dev) · [Cotlet on GitHub](https://github.com/cotletdev) · [Cotlet on X](https://x.com/cotletdev) · [Cotlet on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/cotletdev) · [Cotlet on Product Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com/products/cotlet) · [Cotlet on Crunchbase](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/cotlet) · [Cotlet on SaaSHub](https://www.saashub.com/cotlet) Cotlet.dev is built by Bart Krawczyk and Jake Slugocki, the founders of Take Group sp. z o.o., ul.
