Sharing it with your team?
Add `--scope project` to write it to .mcp.json in the repository root, which you can commit (with the secrets left as environment variables).
Use it in a session
Ask Claude to use the tools this server exposes (e.g. search_design_styles, get_design_style, get_house_ai_app_link). It discovers them automatically.

How to install House AI in Claude DesktopDesktop app (MCP config)

Open your MCP config
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add this server

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "house-ai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.houseaiapp.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Fill in your credentials
Replace Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN> with your real value. Keep secrets out of any config file you commit.
Why the wrapper?
This is a remote (HTTP) server and Claude Desktop only launches local processes, so mcp-remote proxies the connection. It will open a browser window if the server needs OAuth.
Restart Claude Desktop
The tools appear under the 🔌 menu once the app reloads.

How to install House AI in Codex CLIOpenAI coding agent

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml

toml

[mcp_servers.house-ai]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.houseaiapp.com/mcp", "--header", "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"]
env = { AUTH_HEADER = "Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>" }

Fill in your credentials
Replace Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN> with your real value. Keep secrets out of any config file you commit.
Why the wrapper?
Codex runs MCP servers as local processes, so mcp-remote bridges this HTTP endpoint to stdio.
Run Codex
Codex loads MCP servers from config.toml on startup and exposes their tools to the agent.

What tools does House AI expose? (14)

Read from the live server. Click any tool for its input schema.

search_design_stylesBrowse House AI's interior design, exterior and landscaping styles (Japandi, Scandinavian, mid-century modern, coastal, farmhouse, industrial and more). Use it when someone is deciding how to redecorate, remodel or restyle a room, a house front or a yard, or wants style ideas. Returns style names with a short description; pass a name to the redesign tools.
get_design_styleDetails for one House AI design style: its color palette, materials, furniture, textiles, lighting, decor and what to avoid. Use it to explain a style (for example 'what is Japandi?') or to plan a room makeover before redesigning.
get_house_ai_app_linkA link to download the House AI interior design app for iPhone and Android, where the user's designs are saved and they can keep editing rooms, shop the look and try more styles.
get_photo_upload_linkMake a private link where the user can upload a photo of their room, house or yard from their phone or computer. Use it when the user wants a redesign but hasn't attached a photo and this app can't pass attached photos to tools. After they say it's uploaded, pass the upload_id to the redesign tool.
redesign_roomAI interior design: redesign, redecorate or remodel a room from a photo of it, in a chosen style (for example a Japandi living room, a modern farmhouse kitchen or a cozy bedroom makeover). Keeps the room's layout and returns a photorealistic image of the new design. Uses one House AI design credit. Needs a photo: attached in chat, a public link, or an upload_id from get_photo_upload_link.
redesign_exteriorAI exterior design and landscaping: restyle the outside of a house or building for curb appeal (siding, paint, trim, roof color, front door) or redesign a yard, patio or garden, from a photo. Returns a photorealistic image of the new design. Uses one House AI design credit.
paint_wallsRepaint the walls in a photo of a room or house with a new paint color, to preview a color before painting (for example 'sage green', 'warm white with black trim'). Uses one House AI design credit.
change_flooringReplace the floor in a room photo with new flooring, to preview a renovation (for example 'light oak hardwood', 'large gray porcelain tile', 'herringbone'). Uses one House AI design credit.
empty_roomRemove the furniture and clutter from a room photo to see the empty space, for decluttering, moving or planning a new layout. Uses one House AI design credit.
furnish_empty_roomVirtual staging: furnish and decorate an empty or bare room from a photo in a chosen style, for a new home, a rental or a listing. Uses one House AI design credit.
find_furniture_and_decorSearch House AI's shop for real furniture and home decor you can buy, like sofas, rugs, lamps, coffee tables, beds or wall art, optionally under a budget. Returns products with prices, sellers and links.
shop_this_lookFind real products that match an item in a room photo or a House AI design, for example the sofa, rug or pendant light in a redesign. Pass the design's image_url and the item to find.
list_my_designsThe user's recent House AI designs (room redesigns, exteriors, paint and flooring previews), newest first, with image links.
get_my_creditsHow many House AI designs the user can still make today or this plan period.

Full README

House AI for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI apps

House AI is an AI interior design studio. This repo connects it to AI assistants and coding agents through the Model Context Protocol. Share a photo of a room, a house or a yard, pick a style, and House AI shows you a photorealistic redesign of that same space. You can also preview a wall paint color or new flooring, empty a cluttered room, furnish an empty one, and find real furniture and decor like the pieces in your design.

House AI is used in 175+ countries and is a top 10 design app in the US, Canada and Australia.
