After connecting this MCP tool to your AI assistant, you can ask the questions below. Replace bracketed placeholders with your own inputs and use the supported values in Arguments.
New to Nexscope MCP? Follow the connection guide, then use the prompts below. The Integration and Parameters & Response tabs contain the connection steps, call example, and technical reference.
1. Redraw A Selected Image Area
Prompt: Redraw the masked area of [base image] using [mask image] and [editing brief]. Preserve the unmasked context.
2. Create Several Alternatives
Prompt: Redraw the masked area of [base image] using [mask image] and [editing brief]. Preserve the unmasked context. Create [number of outputs within this tool’s supported limit] for review, keeping the same source material and brief.
3. Replace A Masked Product Background
Prompt: In [product image], replace only the background area marked by [mask image] with [new background brief]. Keep the unmasked product unchanged and return one completed image when ready. Review the result for unintended product changes.
What You Need to Provide
Provide assets you may use and that meet this tool’s documented file, dimension and count limits.
A pending task is not a completed image, video or text result. Retrieve the existing task rather than submitting a duplicate.
Request one to four outputs; the default is one.
