How do I render architecture inside Claude?
Add Archome AI to Claude as a custom connector with the address https://archome.ai/api/mcp, sign in to your Archome account and press Allow. Then ask Claude to render an image link or an uploaded photo. A render takes about 30 seconds and a new account gets 3 free renders with no credit card. The same address also works in Claude Code.

How do I set it up?
- Add the connector. Press “Add to Claude”, which opens the Add custom connector dialog with the name and address filled in. Or open Settings → Connectors, choose Add custom connector, name it Archome and paste https://archome.ai/api/mcp. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it for the organization.
- Connect your account. Press Connect, sign in to Archome (or create a free account) and press Allow.
- Create your first render. Ask, for example: “Give me an upload link for a photo of my kitchen, then redesign it in a modern farmhouse style.” Claude cannot pass chat attachments to connectors, so use an image link or the upload link.
What can it do, and what can it not do?
| Task | Status |

| Interior redesign and virtual staging from a room photo | Yes |
| Exterior renders from a building photo or massing model | Yes |
| Hand sketch or line drawing to a photoreal render | Yes |
| Floor plan image to a furnished, rendered view | Yes, by sending the plan as an image link or upload |

How much does it cost?
The connection itself is free. Renders use the same credits as the tools on archome.ai. You buy credits on archome.ai/pricing, never inside the chat. A Fast render takes about 30 seconds.
| Option | Price and credits | Fast renders |
|---|---|---|
| Free account | 100 credits, one time, no credit card | 3 renders |
| Lite | $29 per month, 1,000 credits | 100 renders (about $0.29 each) |
| Plus | $49 per month, 3,000 credits | 300 renders |
| Studio | $119 per month, 10,000 credits | 1,000 renders |
| One-time packs | $15 for 500, $39 for 1,500, $99 for 5,000 credits, valid 12 months | 50, 150 or 500 renders |
Yearly billing is 20% cheaper. Plans have a 14-day money-back guarantee if no credits were used.
Questions
Which tools can use the Archome connector?
Claude, and Claude Code (claude mcp add --transport http archome https://archome.ai/api/mcp). Any other client that supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP with OAuth can use the same address, but we only list Claude and Claude Code as supported.
What happens when my credits run out?
Claude tells you that you are out of credits and points you to archome.ai. You cannot pay inside Claude. Top up on archome.ai/pricing, then continue.
How do I send a photo from Claude?
Share a public image link, or ask Claude for an upload link. Archome gives you a one-time page, valid for 30 minutes, to upload the photo from your device. Creating the link uses no credits.
Where are my renders saved?
Every render is saved to your Archome account with a share link, so you can open it later on archome.ai.
Is my data private?
The connector only works after you press Allow, and only with your own Archome account. You can revoke it in Claude or in Settings → Connected assistants on archome.ai.
What file types can I use?
JPEG, PNG or WebP images, up to 10 MB.
Does it work in ChatGPT too?
Yes. See the ChatGPT setup page for the app store listing.
Prefer the browser? Use the floor plan to 3D tool directly. Full connector details are on the connect page.
