Rawed+ met AI-agents gebruiken

Rawed+ heeft een eigen MCP-server, rawed-mcp, waarmee AI-agents zoals Claude Code, Claude Desktop en Codex je foto’s kunnen bewerken, schiften en exporteren. Hier lees je hoe je het instelt, wat je kunt vragen, hoe het met privacy zit, en welke tools er zijn.

Wat je nodig hebt

  • Rawed+, tijdens de proefperiode van 14 dagen of met een licentie. Rawed uit de Mac App Store werkt niet met agents, maar ontgrendelt wel Rawed+ op dezelfde Mac.
  • macOS 26 of nieuwer
  • Een AI-agent die een lokale MCP-server kan draaien, zoals Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI of Cursor

Toegang voor agents aanzetten

Open Rawed+, kies Rawed+ › Instellingen, klik op AI-agents en zet Sta AI-agents toe Rawed te gebruiken aan. Via Help › Rawed met AI-agents gebruiken… kom je in hetzelfde paneel. Daar staan ook de opdrachten hieronder, met het pad van jouw exemplaar van de app, en zie je welke agent verbonden is.

Je agent koppelen

De opdrachten hieronder gaan ervan uit dat Rawed+ in de map Apps staat. Staat de app ergens anders, kopieer ze dan uit Instellingen › AI-agents.

Claude Code

Voer deze opdracht uit in Terminal. Met --scope user is Rawed in al je projecten beschikbaar. Start daarna een nieuwe sessie van Claude Code.

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

Claude Desktop

Kies in Claude Desktop Settings › Developer › Edit Config. Je ziet dan claude_desktop_config.json, dat in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude staat. Voeg het item rawed hieronder toe; staat er al mcpServers in het bestand, zet het daar dan in. Bewaar het bestand, stop Claude Desktop en open het opnieuw.

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

Codex CLI

Voer deze opdracht uit in Terminal:

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

Of zet deze regels in ~/.codex/config.toml:

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

Cursor en andere MCP-clients

Voeg Rawed toe als lokale MCP-server (stdio). Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json) en de meeste andere clients gebruiken deze JSON:

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

Clients die alleen om een opdracht vragen, gebruiken dit pad:

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

Rawed+ hoeft niet open te staan. Zodra de agent voor het eerst een tool gebruikt, opent rawed-mcp de app op de achtergrond. Staat de toegang voor agents uit, dan antwoorden de tools met een melding waarin staat waar je die aanzet.

Zo werken de tools

  • Elke tool die iets met foto’s doet, krijgt de bestandspaden mee. Niets hangt af van wat Rawed op dat moment toont of wat er geselecteerd is. Een agent kan dus met elke foto werken die hij kan aanwijzen, in elke map, zonder die eerst te openen.
  • Elke bewerking is één stap in de eigen geschiedenis van die foto en wordt, net als je eigen bewerkingen, naast de foto bewaard in een klein .rawed.json-bestand. Originelen worden nooit aangepast. Je kunt de stap in Rawed ongedaan maken, of de agent doet het met undo.
  • Leestools zoals get_analysis, render_preview en assess_photos veranderen niets. Beoordelen en markeren verwijdert nooit een foto, en er wordt nooit naar geheugenkaarten geschreven.
  • De enige wijziging die je niet ongedaan kunt maken, is het verwijderen van een eigen voorinstelling met manage_preset.

Privacy en je gegevens

Toegang voor agents staat uit tot je die aanzet. Daarna accepteert Rawed+ alleen verbindingen van programma’s op dezelfde Mac, via een lokale socket die alleen jouw gebruikersaccount kan openen, met een sleutel die elke keer verandert als je de toegang aanzet. Via het netwerk is hij niet bereikbaar, en Rawed zelf stuurt nergens iets heen.

Met de agent ligt dat anders. Wat die via de tools leest, zoals foto-informatie (inclusief de gps-locatie als een foto die heeft), metingen en de voorvertoningen waar hij om vraagt (tot 2048 pixels aan de lange zijde), wordt deel van het gesprek en gaat naar de AI-aanbieder van de agent, net als alles wat je daar typt. Hoe die aanbieder ermee omgaat, hangt af van zijn eigen voorwaarden en privacybeleid. Een agent die zelf ook bestanden kan lezen, zoals Claude Code, kan je foto’s rechtstreeks lezen; dat is een instelling van de agent, niet van Rawed.

Overzicht van de tools

export Export

Kan een voorinstelling definitief verwijderen

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.

Argumenten

Metadata kept from the original: everything, without GPS, also without camera and lens (make, model, serial numbers), only the copyright, or nothing. TIFF Software = Rawed is always written
on_conflictstring
Een van: 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>

Watermark drawn into the exported files only (not into the photo, the editor or Save as JPEG), after resizing. type is required; the other options left out keep the current watermark's (quick_convert: the Export sheet's last one) or the defaults. {"type": "none"} removes it
widthintegerfit_within width

save_jpeg Save as JPEG

Kan een voorinstelling definitief verwijderen

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

Wijzigt foto’s of bestanden

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

Wijzigt foto’s of bestanden

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

Wijzigt foto’s of bestanden

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

Alleen lezen

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.
