Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent help me enforce metadata compliance across my Canto digital assets?
Yes. You can instruct your AI to search for assets matching specific parameters or lacking required EXIF data, and automatically apply bulk updates to those customFields using the update metadata tool. Marketing teams use this to standardize their entire unstructured media library inside Canto in seconds.
Am I able to restructure my Canto hierarchy without using the web application?
Absolutely. Ask your agent to list your current folders and albums, and you can map out a totally new structure. The agent can dynamically create new folders and albums, and immediately assign existing media to these new groupings via the API, preventing any orphaned storage scenarios.
Can the agent search for specific imagery based on broad keywords quickly?
Yes, the AI uses Canto's global asset search to bypass manual navigation loops. It can query across boundaries to pull up exactly the campaign shots or product imagery you need. You can then request the deep metadata details of any returned image directly through the conversation.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
