The server exposes four no-account tools (search_mockups, open_mockup, list_dielines) plus account tools including get_dieline, make_dieline, list_my_projects and review_inbox; free accounts get 3 dielines a month, and DXF and CF2 die-maker files require Pro. Connections support a View only mode that generates no dieline files and uses nothing on a user's plan, and connected assistants can be removed under Account → Sign-in & security → Connected apps.", "body_md": "[Help centre](https://drint.io/help) › AI assistants\n\n# Connect Drint to Muse, Claude and ChatGPT\n\nUse Drint inside an AI assistant’s chat: find mockups, get dielines at an exact size, open your own projects in 3D.\n\n## One address for every assistant\n\nDrint is an MCP server — the standard way AI assistants plug in other apps. Muse, Claude and ChatGPT all connect to the same address: `https://drint.io/mcp`.\n\nFinding mockups and listing dieline structures work straight away, without an account. When the assistant needs your account (your projects, dieline files), it sends you to drint.io to sign in and click **Allow**.\n\n## Meta Muse\n\n1. If Drint is listed in Muse’s **Settings → Connectors** , turn it on there.\n2. If it is not, send Muse one message: “Connect to the Drint MCP server at https://drint.io/mcp”. Muse sets up the connection, tests the tools and keeps it for next time.\n3. When asked, sign in to Drint and click **Allow** .\n4. In Muse’s settings, choose whether Muse may run Drint’s tools on its own or asks you first each time.\n\n## Claude\n\n1. In Claude (web or desktop app), open **Customize → Connectors** and search for**Drint** — or click**Add custom connector** .\n2. Name it Drint, paste `https://drint.io/mcp` as the URL and click**Add** .\n3. Click **Connect** , sign in to Drint and click**Allow** .\n4. In a chat, turn Drint on in the tools menu and ask, for example: “find a kraft paper bag mockup and show it in 3D”.\n\n## Claude Code\n\nRun `claude mcp add --transport http drint https://drint.io/mcp`, then type `/mcp` in Claude Code to sign in to Drint.\n\n## ChatGPT\n\n1. In ChatGPT’s settings, open the apps section (Apps & Connectors) and turn on Developer mode under the advanced settings.\n2. Create a new app named Drint with the address `https://drint.io/mcp` and OAuth sign-in.\n3. Sign in to Drint and click **Allow** .\n4. In a chat, pick Drint and ask. Mockups and projects open in Drint’s own 3D viewer inside the chat — rotate, recolour and resize them there.\n\n## No account needed\n\n`search_mockups` — finds ready 3D mockups: boxes, bags, bottles, labels, apparel…\n\n`open_mockup` — opens one in 3D.\n\n`list_dielines` — the dieline structures Drint draws, with their default sizes.\n\n## With your Drint account\n\n`get_dieline` — a PDF / AI or SVG dieline at an exact size, from a FEFCO or ECMA code or a Drint type. Free has 3 a month.\n\n`make_dieline` — PDF / AI, DXF and CF2 files for the die-maker. DXF and CF2 need Pro. Both dieline tools count on your plan like a download in the app.\n\n`list_my_projects`, `open_my_project` — your own projects, opened in 3D (with the watermark grid on Free, as in the app).\n\n`review_inbox` — your **Review inbox**: work handed on to 3D Studio or Drint AI and the results waiting for you.\n\n`send_to_3d_studio` — a link that opens the project with **Continue** already open; click **Build a scene in 3D Studio** to send it.\n\n`my_drint` — your plan and what is left.\n\n## View only, and removing a connection\n\nOn drint.io’s Allow page, tick **View only** if the assistant should only look at your projects and Review inbox: it makes no dieline files and uses nothing on your plan.\n\nEach connection works in one space you pick on the same page — your own, or a print shop’s.\n\nSee and remove connected assistants in **Account → Sign-in & security → Connected apps**. Changing your password removes all of them.\n\nThe assistant never sees your password, and no Drint tool deletes anything or takes a payment.\n\nStill stuck?
