Control Photoshop Layers with Claude Desktop

`update_psd_image` alters your dynamic email templates directly from your Claude Desktop chat window. You tell your agent to swap out a promotional discount layer, and it edits the PSD asset on the fly. No more manual exports or re-uploading files when a pricing tier changes mid-campaign. The server communicates with the NiftyImages API to process these layer adjustments in real time. Because Claude Desktop runs this local MCP server as a subprocess, your updated imagery is immediately available to your email service provider.

Synchronize Countdown Timers in Chat

`update_timer` shifts the expiration date of your dynamic countdown widgets during live sales. When a flash sale gets extended, you just tell Claude Desktop to update the deadline, and the image renders the new time instantly in your subscribers' inboxes. This MCP Server handles the payload formatting so you don't have to write raw API requests. Your agent pulls the existing widget list via `list_widgets` and updates the countdown clock without you leaving your workspace.

Track Live Image Performance in Real Time

`get_image_stats` pulls direct open rates and impression metrics for your personalized email assets into Claude Desktop. You ask your agent which variant is winning, and it fetches the raw performance logs without requiring you to log into a separate marketing dashboard. This connection relies on `get_widget_stats` to compare interactive countdowns against static graphics. Your agent parses the data instantly, letting you make quick decisions about active campaign assets.
