From the README

@cutoutlabs/mcp MCP server for Cutout Labs. It lets AI agents remove image backgrounds from local files or URLs and saves the transparent PNG next to the input. Setup 1. Get a free API key at https://www.cutoutlabs.com/background-removal-api 2. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and others): No local install? Use the hosted server instead: https://api.cutoutlabs.com/mcp with the header Authorization: Bearer your-key. The hosted server takes image URLs or base64 and returns the image inline. Tools • removebackground: inputpath or imageurl, plus optional outputpath, size (preview, medium, hd, full), format (png, webp, jpg), bgcolor, crop, roi (keep only the subject inside x1 y1 x2 y2), cleanedges (remove coloured fringes), overwrite. Saves the result and returns its path. • get_quota: free calls left today. The quota resets at 00:00 UTC. Limits Inputs up to 12 MB. Free daily quota per key during launch. License MIT

Nice for visibility, but GitHub marks README links nofollow, so it doesn't pass authority. Use the HTML badge on your site as well.
