What AI clients can I use with this MCP?

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Photo Session Timekeeper.

01
Find earliest break slot
This capability identifies the first available window for a break based on your current schedule. It looks at the sequence of shots and setups to find the most logical pause.
02
Calculate session timeline
This capability builds a full chronological list of every event in your shoot. It also calculates how much unscheduled time is left in your window.
03
Get subject load analysis
This capability calculates the total time allocated to each specific subject. It helps you see if one model or setup is hogging too much of the production time.
04
Validate session capacity
This capability checks if your proposed shots and breaks will actually fit in the time you have. It prevents you from overbooking a session before you even start.

One connector, every AI

Photo Session Timekeeper works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Photo Session Timekeeper to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
