Editmamei Connect: a remote MCP server that lets Claude edit real photos with layers and masks

- An indie developer launched Editmamei Connect, a remote MCP server that lets AI edit photos the traditional way—layers, masks, curves—instead of regenerating them with an image model, keeping edits faithful to the original shot.
- Add it as a connector, sign up with an email, and edit from anywhere; edits carry no AI-generated-content tags, which matters for e-commerce listings.
- Demo: keeping a lehua flower red while everything else turns black-and-white; Claude caught its own mistake darkening the sky (it blotched the lava field), reverted, and masked the sky with an AI selection instead.
- Architecture: each user gets a dedicated editor container behind a Cloudflare Worker + Durable Object, so no queuing and no idle costs.
- Known gap: AI selection struggles with fine edges and multi-object subjects like bouquets; the author combines several models and is still tuning.
- Launched a week ago, free accounts with monthly credits, feedback welcome; a local desktop MCP is open-sourced on GitHub.
