Rawed+ con agentes de IA

Rawed+ incluye un servidor MCP, rawed-mcp, para que agentes de IA como Claude Code, Claude Desktop o Codex editen, seleccionen y exporten tus fotos. Aquí tienes cómo configurarlo, qué pedirle, cómo funciona la privacidad y todas las herramientas.

Requisitos

  • Rawed+, durante la prueba de 14 días o con licencia. Rawed de la Mac App Store no admite agentes, pero desbloquea Rawed+ en el mismo Mac.
  • macOS 26 o posterior
  • Una app de agente de IA que pueda ejecutar un servidor MCP local, como Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI o Cursor

Activa el acceso de agentes

Abre Rawed+, elige Rawed+ › Ajustes, haz clic en Agentes de IA y activa Permitir que los agentes de IA usen Rawed. Ayuda › Usar Rawed con agentes de IA… abre el mismo panel. Ahí verás también los comandos de abajo con la ruta de tu copia de la app y qué agente está conectado.

Conecta tu agente

Los comandos de abajo dan por hecho que Rawed+ está en la carpeta Aplicaciones. Si lo tienes en otro sitio, cópialos desde Ajustes › Agentes de IA.

Claude Code

Ejecuta este comando en Terminal. --scope user hace que Rawed esté disponible en todos tus proyectos. Después, abre una sesión nueva de Claude Code.

claude mcp add --scope user rawed -- "/Applications/Rawed+.app/Contents/MacOS/rawed-mcp"

Claude Desktop

En Claude Desktop, elige Settings › Developer › Edit Config. Se muestra claude_desktop_config.json, que está en ~/Library/Application Support/Claude. Añade la entrada rawed de abajo; si el archivo ya tiene mcpServers, ponla dentro. Guarda el archivo, cierra Claude Desktop y vuelve a abrirlo.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rawed": {
      "command": "/Applications/Rawed+.app/Contents/MacOS/rawed-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex CLI

Ejecuta este comando en Terminal:

codex mcp add rawed -- "/Applications/Rawed+.app/Contents/MacOS/rawed-mcp"

O añade estas líneas a ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.rawed]
command = "/Applications/Rawed+.app/Contents/MacOS/rawed-mcp"

Cursor y otros clientes MCP

Añade Rawed como servidor MCP local (stdio). Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json) y la mayoría de los demás clientes aceptan este JSON:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rawed": {
      "command": "/Applications/Rawed+.app/Contents/MacOS/rawed-mcp"
    }
  }
}

A los clientes que solo piden un comando, dales esta ruta:

/Applications/Rawed+.app/Contents/MacOS/rawed-mcp

No hace falta tener Rawed+ abierto. La primera vez que el agente usa una herramienta, rawed-mcp lo abre en segundo plano. Si el acceso de agentes está desactivado, las herramientas responden con un mensaje que indica dónde activarlo.

Cómo funcionan las herramientas

  • Todas las herramientas que actúan sobre fotos reciben sus rutas de archivo. Nada depende de lo que muestre Rawed ni de lo que esté seleccionado, así que un agente puede trabajar con cualquier foto que sepa nombrar, en cualquier carpeta, sin abrirla antes.
  • Cada edición es un paso en el historial propio de esa foto y se guarda junto a ella en un pequeño archivo .rawed.json, igual que tus propias ediciones. Los originales nunca se modifican. Puedes deshacer el paso en Rawed, o puede hacerlo el agente con undo.
  • Las herramientas de lectura, como get_analysis, render_preview y assess_photos, no cambian nada. Valorar o marcar una foto nunca la borra, y nunca se escribe en las tarjetas de memoria.
  • El único cambio que no se puede deshacer es borrar un preajuste que hayas creado, con manage_preset.

Privacidad

El acceso de agentes está desactivado hasta que lo actives. A partir de ahí, Rawed+ solo acepta conexiones de programas del mismo Mac, a través de un socket local que solo puede abrir tu cuenta de usuario, con una clave que cambia cada vez que se activa el acceso. No es accesible desde la red, y Rawed por sí mismo no envía nada a ningún sitio.

Con el agente es distinto. Lo que lee a través de las herramientas, como la información de las fotos (incluida la ubicación GPS si la foto la tiene), las mediciones y las previsualizaciones que pide (hasta 2048 píxeles en el lado largo), pasa a formar parte de su conversación y llega a su proveedor de IA, como cualquier otra cosa que escribas ahí. Cómo lo trate ese proveedor depende de sus condiciones y de su política de privacidad. Un agente que también pueda leer archivos por su cuenta, como Claude Code, puede leer tus fotos directamente; eso es un ajuste del agente, no de Rawed.

export Export

Puede borrar un preajuste para siempre

Export photos with their current edits, and wait until done (File › Export…). Starts from Rawed defaults, not the Export sheet's last settings: Full-Size JPEG (JPEG 90%, original size, sRGB, all metadata, "{name}", next to the original); quick_convert is the same with the sheet's last settings. Sources on memory cards or in folders that can't be written require a directory argument; no files are written until a usable destination is provided. A directory on a memory card is rejected. Does not change the Export sheet's remembered settings. on_conflict decides what happens when a file with the output name already exists; a name that is one of the exported photos, or that two photos would share, is numbered instead. Returns the written paths and the number of skipped photos.

on_conflictstring
Uno de: replace, keep_both, skip
When the file already exists: replace it, keep both (writes <name>-2.<ext> …), or skip the photo (default keep_both). Only files Rawed wrote are replaced; any other file (an original such as a camera JPEG) is kept and the export gets <name>-2.<ext>

save_jpeg Save as JPEG

Puede borrar un preajuste para siempre

Save photos with their current edits as full-size JPEGs next to the originals (File › Save as JPEG) and wait until done: <name>.jpg, sRGB, quality 90, metadata kept (location removed only when the Export sheet's Remove Location or no-metadata choice says so). A JPEG original, or a photo whose <name>.jpg is a file Rawed didn't write (such as the camera JPEG of a RAW + JPEG pair), gets <name> edited.jpg instead. Originals and their edit files are never changed. on_conflict decides what happens when that JPEG already exists. Photos on memory cards or in folders that can't be written fail (use export with a directory). Returns the written, skipped and failed paths.

quick_convert Quick Convert

Modifica fotos o archivos

Alias of export that starts from the Export sheet's last settings (File › Export…) instead of Rawed defaults, also takes folders, and never asks: an existing file is kept and the new one numbered (<name>-2.<ext>). Without saved settings it starts at Full-Size JPEG (JPEG 90%, original size; earlier versions started at Web). A preset and the other options override them. Sources on memory cards or in folders that can't be written require a directory argument; no files are written until a usable destination is provided. A directory on a memory card is rejected.

edit_point_color Point Color

Modifica fotos o archivos

Point Color (Color panel): change one color picked in the photo — its hue, saturation and luminance — without masks; every pixel close to that color changes, with a smooth falloff. Actions: add (sample the color at `sample`, or give `color`), update (point_id: any of the values below), delete (point_id), move (point_id, offset -1 earlier / 1 later; points apply in order). Values: hue_shift, saturation, luminance (-100...100; luminance 100 = +1 EV on that color), range (0...100, default 50: how far from the color the change reaches), hue_range, saturation_range, luminance_range (0...100, default 50: refine the range per dimension), enabled. `color` is {"lightness", "chroma", "hue"} in OKLCh of the linear working space, or {"hex": "#RRGGBB"} (sRGB). Point ids and targets are in get_recipe.pointColors. One step in that photo's own edit history (undo with undo {path}), saved next to the photo like an edit in the app; if the photo is shown in the editor the user sees it live.

targeted_adjust Targeted adjustment

Modifica fotos o archivos

Change the color at a point of the photo, like dragging up or down on it with the targeted adjustment tool: target color_mixer changes the Color Mixer (HSL) bands of that color, weighted as the mixer blends them; target point_color changes the point color that covers that color, adding one sampled there if there is none. `amount` is in slider units (-100...100), added to the current values. Gray colors can't be changed in the Color Mixer. One step in that photo's own edit history (undo with undo {path}), saved next to the photo like an edit in the app; if the photo is shown in the editor the user sees it live.

assess_photos Assess photos for culling

Solo lectura

Measure photos for culling; read-only (nothing is edited, rated or saved). Each photo is measured on a 1024 px sRGB image: RAW files on the camera's embedded preview (as shot, before edits; get_analysis measures the RAW data itself), other files downsampled. Per photo: sharpness — variance of the Laplacian (after a light 3×3 pre-blur) over the frame (global) and in its sharpest 5 % (local, so a sharp subject on a soft background counts as sharp), score 0–100 (log scale, local 5 → 0, 500 → 100), likely_blurry when local < 15 (conservative: mildly soft frames of detailed scenes pass; in a duplicate group compare relative_to_group_best, softer_than_group below 0.5); exposure as shot — highlight_clip_percent (any channel ≥ 250/255), shadow_clip_percent (all ≤ 5/255), ev_offset (mean EV of the frame vs. 18 % gray), likely_overexposed (ev_offset > 1 or > 5 % clipped), likely_underexposed (ev_offset < −2.5 or > 20 % crushed); low-key and high-key scenes can be flagged on purpose; faces (Apple Vision) — count, box (0…1, top-left origin), capture_quality 0…1 (compare the same person across frames), eye openness (height/width of the landmark eye contour; open ≈ 0.25–0.45) and eyes_closed when both are below 0.18 — a heuristic: null for faces under 48 px wide or without landmarks, unreliable for profiles, sunglasses, squinting or looking down. Near-duplicates across the given photos: Vision feature print distance (revision 2, on a 224 px copy) ≤ duplicate_threshold (default 0.6; re-encoded copies ≈ 0.1, different scenes ≈ 1.2), complete linkage (every pair in a group is within the threshold), with suggested_keep per group (no closed eyes, then sharpest, then best face quality, then least clipping) and each photo's nearest match. Thresholds are repeated in the reply. Unreadable files are listed under failures.
