Higgsfield MCP turns Claude into a creative engine: once connected, you can ask Claude to generate images, videos, train characters, and pull your generation history — all without leaving the conversation. This guide walks through the exact setup for Claude's web/desktop app and for Claude Code.
What you need before you start
The connector is account-based, so there is no API key to copy. You only need two accounts and some free credits.
- A Higgsfield account (new accounts get free credits).
- A Claude account that supports custom connectors (Claude web or the desktop app).
- For Claude Code / terminal agents, use the Higgsfield CLI instead of the connector flow.
Connect Higgsfield to Claude (web & desktop)
The visual flow is the fastest path for most users. Open Claude's connector settings and paste the hosted MCP URL.
- Open Claude and go to Settings → Connectors.
- Add a custom connector and name it “Higgsfield”.
- Paste the connector URL: https://mcp.higgsfield.ai/mcp
- Click Add → Connect, then sign in with your Higgsfield account.
- Ask Claude to generate an image to confirm it works.
Using Higgsfield inside Claude
After connecting, Claude can call every model on the Higgsfield platform. You describe the shot in plain language and Claude picks the model, configures parameters, fires the generation, and brings the result back into the chat.
- Image generation: Soul, Nano Banana, Flux, Seedream and more.
- Video generation: Veo, Kling, Seedance, and Higgsfield's in-house models.
- Iterate in chat: refine, compare models, or animate a still.
Claude Code and terminal agents
For Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, or Hermes-style terminal workflows, Higgsfield recommends the CLI path rather than the visual connector. Install the CLI, authenticate, and optionally add Higgsfield Skills.
- Install: npm install -g @higgsfield/cli
- Authenticate: higgsfield auth login
- Optional skills: npx skills add higgsfield-ai/skills
