Utilizar o Rawed+ com agentes de IA

O Rawed+ inclui um servidor MCP, o rawed-mcp, para que agentes de IA como o Claude Code, o Claude Desktop e o Codex possam editar, triar e exportar as suas fotografias. Aqui encontra como o configurar, o que pedir, como funciona a privacidade e todas as ferramentas.

Requisitos

  • O Rawed+, durante a avaliação de 14 dias ou com licença. O Rawed da Mac App Store não tem acesso para agentes, mas desbloqueia o Rawed+ no mesmo Mac.
  • macOS 26 ou posterior
  • Uma app de agente de IA que consiga executar um servidor MCP local, como o Claude Code, o Claude Desktop, o Codex CLI ou o Cursor

Ativar o acesso de agentes

Abra o Rawed+, escolha Rawed+ › Definições, clique em Agentes de IA e ative Permitir que agentes de IA utilizem o Rawed. Ajuda › Utilizar o Rawed com agentes de IA… abre o mesmo painel. Lá encontra também os comandos abaixo, já com o caminho da sua cópia da app, e qual o agente ligado.

Ligar o seu agente

Os comandos abaixo partem do princípio de que o Rawed+ está na pasta Aplicações. Se estiver noutro sítio, copie-os de Definições › Agentes de IA.

Claude Code

Execute este comando no Terminal. --scope user torna o Rawed disponível em todos os seus projetos. Depois, inicie uma nova sessão do Claude Code.

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

Claude Desktop

No Claude Desktop, escolha Settings › Developer › Edit Config. Isto mostra o claude_desktop_config.json, que está em ~/Library/Application Support/Claude. Acrescente a entrada rawed abaixo; se o ficheiro já tiver mcpServers, coloque-a lá dentro. Guarde o ficheiro, feche o Claude Desktop e volte a abri-lo.

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

Codex CLI

Execute este comando no Terminal:

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

Ou acrescente estas linhas a ~/.codex/config.toml:

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

Cursor e outros clientes MCP

Adicione o Rawed como servidor MCP local (stdio). O Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json) e a maioria dos outros clientes aceitam este JSON:

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

Os clientes que pedem apenas um comando aceitam este caminho:

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

Não é preciso ter o Rawed+ aberto. Quando o agente usa uma ferramenta pela primeira vez, o rawed-mcp abre-o em segundo plano. Se o acesso de agentes estiver desativado, as ferramentas respondem com uma mensagem a indicar onde o ativar.

Como funcionam as ferramentas

  • Todas as ferramentas que atuam sobre fotografias recebem os caminhos dos ficheiros. Nada depende do que o Rawed está a mostrar nem do que está selecionado, por isso um agente pode trabalhar em qualquer fotografia que consiga indicar, em qualquer pasta, sem a abrir primeiro.
  • Cada edição é um passo no histórico dessa fotografia, guardado junto dela num pequeno ficheiro .rawed.json, tal como as suas próprias edições. Os originais nunca são alterados. Pode anular o passo no Rawed, ou o agente pode fazê-lo com undo.
  • Ferramentas de leitura como get_analysis, render_preview e assess_photos não alteram nada. Classificar e sinalizar nunca apagam uma fotografia, e nunca se escreve nos cartões de memória.
  • A única alteração que não pode ser anulada é apagar uma predefinição criada por si, com manage_preset.

Privacidade

O acesso de agentes está desativado até o ativar. A partir daí, o Rawed+ só aceita ligações de programas no mesmo Mac, através de um socket local que só a sua conta de utilizador pode abrir, com uma chave que muda sempre que o acesso é ativado. Não é acessível a partir da rede, e o próprio Rawed não envia nada para lado nenhum.

Com o agente, a história é outra. O que ele lê através das ferramentas, como as informações das fotografias (incluindo a localização GPS, quando existe), medições e as pré-visualizações que pede (até 2048 píxeis no lado maior), passa a fazer parte da conversa e vai para o fornecedor de IA do agente, como tudo o resto que escreve lá. A forma como o fornecedor trata esses dados depende dos seus próprios termos e política de privacidade. Um agente que também consiga ler ficheiros por conta própria, como o Claude Code, pode ler as suas fotografias diretamente; isso é uma definição do agente, não do Rawed.

export Export

Pode apagar uma predefinição de vez

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

Altera fotografias ou ficheiros

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

Altera fotografias ou ficheiros

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

Só leitura

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.
