How do I connect Higgsfield to Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI agent?

This Higgsfield help-centre article explains how to connect Higgsfield to AI agents without an API key: a connector URL in Claude, a plugin in ChatGPT, the marketplace in Cursor and the Higgsfield CLI for Claude Code and others; a paid subscription is required. It lists what an agent can then do, from image and video generation to upscaling, voice-overs and dubbing, though ChatGPT lacks audio. It warns that every agent generation deducts credits on any plan, suggests asking the agent to confirm costs first, and notes that reference images go through a separate upload window.

What is said

★ — how much it matters to the source.

  • ★★★ Higgsfield connects to agents with no API key: in Claude as a custom connector with the URL https://mcp.higgsfield.ai/mcp, in ChatGPT as the Higgsfield Plugin, in Cursor from the marketplace, and in Claude Code, OpenClaw and Hermes through the Higgsfield CLI the agent installs. · Higgsfield MCP, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Higgsfield CLI
  • ★★★ Connecting Higgsfield to an AI agent requires an active paid Higgsfield subscription. · Higgsfield MCP
  • ★★ To connect in Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, name it Higgsfield, paste https://mcp.higgsfield.ai/mcp, click Connect and authorise in the Higgsfield window (automatic when already logged in). · Higgsfield MCP, Claude · also in: Higgsfield Meets Katana: What It Is and How it Works
  • ★★ To connect in ChatGPT, open the Plugins Directory (or higgsfield.ai/mcp → Add Higgsfield plugin), add Higgsfield and sign in; no URL is pasted. · ChatGPT, Higgsfield MCP
  • ★★★ Audio generation and the Website Building skill are not available through Higgsfield in ChatGPT; Higgsfield points to higgsfield.ai or Claude for them. · ChatGPT, Claude
  • ★★ To connect in Cursor, open Customize → Marketplace, find Higgsfield, click Add and sign in. · Cursor
  • ★★ Claude Code, OpenClaw and Hermes connect through the Higgsfield CLI: send the agent a set-up message to run "npm i -g @higgsfield/cli", "higgsfield auth login" and "npx skills add higgsfield-ai/skills", then finish the sign-in in the browser. · Higgsfield CLI, Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent
  • ★★ Higgsfield skills are preset workflows: the user describes the result and the skill runs the intermediate steps (concept, script, individual generations) without separate prompts.
  • ★★ Higgsfield's skill categories are Marketing (ads and campaigns), UGC Factory (Product Review UGC, SaaS UGC), Faceless Content Factory (Stickman Cartoon, Editorial Motion Graphics), Utility, Motion & Design, and Website Building, which ChatGPT lacks. · UGC, faceless channel, motion graphics, ChatGPT
  • ★★ To check the connection, Higgsfield advises asking the agent in a new conversation "What is my Higgsfield credit balance?"; if it answers without calling any tools, check the connectors or plugins and reconnect. · Higgsfield MCP
  • ★★★ Through Higgsfield MCP an agent can generate images and video on all models, upscale, remove backgrounds, expand images and reframe video, use Soul characters and Elements, make voice-overs, clone and change voices, dub video, clip YouTube videos with Personal Clipper and check balance and generations. · Higgsfield MCP, Soul, Elements, Reframe, voice cloning, YouTube
  • ★★★ Every generation through Higgsfield MCP, the ChatGPT plugin or the CLI deducts credits at standard rates, whatever the plan; Unlimited access and free generations apply only on higgsfield.ai. · Higgsfield MCP, ChatGPT, Higgsfield CLI, Higgsfield Unlimited, credit
  • ★★ A Higgsfield-connected agent picks the model itself unless told; Higgsfield advises naming it in the request, as in "Generate a video using Seedance of a person walking through a forest at sunrise". · Higgsfield MCP, Seedance, agentic AI
  • ★★ Through an agent, a trained Soul character or an Element is called by name in the prompt; Elements are reusable references for characters, environments and props, and several can go in one prompt. · Elements, Soul
  • ★★★ To control spending through an agent, Higgsfield advises saying at the start of the session "Before generating anything, tell me the credit cost and wait for my confirmation." · Higgsfield MCP, credit
  • ★★ Higgsfield MCP has no native credit cap: a limit such as "Do not spend more than X credits" is only an instruction in the conversation, not a hard limit. · Higgsfield MCP, credit
  • ★★★ An agent connected to Higgsfield cannot read images attached to the chat; reference files reach Higgsfield through a separate upload window that the agent opens in the conversation. · Higgsfield MCP, agentic AI
  • ★★ For a reference file on the device, say you want to use it; choose the file in the Higgsfield upload window the agent opens, then state its role in the prompt ("Use the uploaded image as the character reference …"). · Higgsfield MCP
  • ★★ For a reference image from the web, paste its direct URL into the chat and state its role; the agent imports it into the Higgsfield uploads. · Higgsfield MCP
  • ★★ A past Higgsfield generation, an Element or a trained Soul character needs no upload: the agent passes it to the model when it is referenced by name or description. · Elements, Soul, keyframe
  • ★★ Kling 3.0 Motion Control through an agent needs two inputs, a character image and a motion reference video; the agent opens the upload window for each and the user says which is which. · motion transfer
  • ★ If the agent asks for a file attached to the chat instead, Higgsfield advises telling it "Open the Higgsfield upload window for my file." · Higgsfield MCP
  • ★★ Generations from connected agents land in the user's Assets on higgsfield.ai, tagged with the MCP source, typically within 60 seconds of the job completing. · Higgsfield MCP
  • ★★ "Authorization with the MCP server failed" means the token expired: in Claude disconnect Higgsfield under Settings → Connectors and reconnect; in ChatGPT reconnect the plugin under Settings → Plugins. · Claude, ChatGPT
  • ★ If the connector shows as connected but the agent does not call Higgsfield, Higgsfield advises a new conversation that names Higgsfield and checking the per-conversation connector toggle. · Higgsfield MCP
  • ★★ One Higgsfield account can be connected in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other agents at the same time. · Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor
  • ★ If an agent's generation does not appear, Higgsfield advises waiting up to 60 seconds, checking Manage Account → Usage, and contacting support with the generation ID and time if credits were deducted without output.
