Rawed+ e gli agenti AI

Rawed+ include un server MCP, rawed-mcp, con cui agenti AI come Claude Code, Claude Desktop e Codex possono modificare, scremare ed esportare le tue foto. Qui trovi come configurarlo, cosa chiedere, come funziona la privacy e tutti gli strumenti.

Requisiti

  • Rawed+, durante i 14 giorni di prova o con una licenza. Rawed dal Mac App Store non ha l’accesso per gli agenti, ma sblocca Rawed+ sullo stesso Mac.
  • macOS 26 o versioni successive
  • Un’app di agente AI in grado di avviare un server MCP locale, come Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI o Cursor

Attiva l’accesso degli agenti

Apri Rawed+, scegli Rawed+ › Impostazioni, fai clic su Agenti AI e attiva Consenti agli agenti AI di usare Rawed. Aiuto › Usare Rawed con gli agenti AI… apre lo stesso pannello, che mostra anche i comandi qui sotto con il percorso della tua copia dell’app e quale agente è collegato.

Collega il tuo agente

I comandi qui sotto presuppongono che Rawed+ sia nella cartella Applicazioni. Se si trova altrove, copiali da Impostazioni › Agenti AI.

Claude Code

Esegui questo comando nel Terminale. Con --scope user Rawed è disponibile in tutti i tuoi progetti. Poi avvia una nuova sessione di Claude Code.

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

Claude Desktop

In Claude Desktop scegli Settings › Developer › Edit Config. Si apre claude_desktop_config.json, che si trova in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude. Aggiungi la voce rawed qui sotto; se il file contiene già mcpServers, mettila lì dentro. Salva il file, poi esci da Claude Desktop e riaprilo.

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

Codex CLI

Esegui questo comando nel Terminale:

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

Oppure aggiungi queste righe a ~/.codex/config.toml:

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

Cursor e altri client MCP

Aggiungi Rawed come server MCP locale (stdio). Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json) e la maggior parte degli altri client accettano questo JSON:

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

Ai client che chiedono solo un comando, indica questo percorso:

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

Non serve tenere aperto Rawed+. La prima volta che l’agente usa uno strumento, rawed-mcp lo avvia in background. Se l’accesso degli agenti è disattivato, gli strumenti rispondono con un messaggio che dice dove attivarlo.

Come funzionano gli strumenti

  • Ogni strumento che agisce sulle foto riceve i loro percorsi. Nulla dipende da ciò che Rawed mostra o da cosa è selezionato, quindi un agente può lavorare su qualsiasi foto sappia indicare, in qualsiasi cartella, senza aprirla prima.
  • Ogni modifica è un passaggio nella cronologia della singola foto, salvato accanto alla foto in un piccolo file .rawed.json, proprio come le tue modifiche. Gli originali non vengono mai toccati. Puoi annullare il passaggio in Rawed, oppure può farlo l’agente con undo.
  • Gli strumenti di lettura come get_analysis, render_preview e assess_photos non cambiano nulla. Valutazioni e bandierine non eliminano mai una foto, e sulle schede di memoria non viene mai scritto nulla.
  • L’unica modifica che non si può annullare è l’eliminazione di un predefinito che hai creato tu, con manage_preset.

Privacy e dati

L’accesso degli agenti resta disattivato finché non lo attivi. Da quel momento Rawed+ accetta connessioni solo da programmi sullo stesso Mac, tramite un socket locale che solo il tuo account utente può aprire, con una chiave che cambia ogni volta che l’accesso viene attivato. Non è raggiungibile dalla rete, e Rawed di per sé non invia nulla da nessuna parte.

Per l’agente il discorso è diverso. Quello che legge tramite gli strumenti, come le informazioni sulle foto (compresa la posizione GPS, se presente), le misurazioni e le anteprime che richiede (fino a 2048 pixel sul lato lungo), entra nella sua conversazione e arriva al suo fornitore di AI, come qualsiasi altra cosa tu scriva lì. Come il fornitore tratta questi dati dipende dai suoi termini e dalla sua informativa sulla privacy. Un agente che può anche leggere i file per conto suo, come Claude Code, può leggere direttamente le tue foto; questa è un’impostazione dell’agente, non di Rawed.

Riferimento degli strumenti

I 42 strumenti, con le descrizioni e gli argomenti che ricevono gli agenti. Gli agenti leggono questi testi in inglese.

get_state Get app state

Sola lettura

What the app shows (for orientation only; no tool acts on it): mode (library/edit), open folder, selection, photo shown in the editor with its history, presets, settings clipboard, library sort/filter, editor view (tool, zoom, compare, overlays, selected mask), shown device, recent folders, running batch and preferences.

Nessun argomento.

list_photos List photos

export Export

Può eliminare un predefinito in modo definitivo

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.

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.

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 foto o file

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 foto o file

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

Sola lettura

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.
