# Unsplash MCP: Use Unsplash in Slack and Email

Source: https://maito.app/integrations/unsplash

Connect the Unsplash MCP server to Maito with one sign-in, and your whole team can use it from Slack or email: “Find three photos of a bright home office for the blog post header.”

Unsplash is a library of free high-quality photos. Connect the Unsplash MCP server to Maito once, and everyone on your team can use Unsplash from Slack, by email, or from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse. Nobody else has to sign in.

Maito uses Unsplash to do the work and replies where you asked.

## How to connect Unsplash

Open Connections in your workspace and choose Connect next to Unsplash. You sign in to Unsplash in a new tab, and that's the whole setup. Name the account and choose Workspace under who can use it. That's the only time anyone signs in: your whole team, shared chats and Loops can use Unsplash from then on. Or skip ahead and ask for the work: Maito sends you a link if Unsplash isn't connected yet.

## Questions

### What is the Unsplash MCP server URL?

Unsplash publishes it at https://mcp.unsplash.com/mcp, and it signs in with OAuth, so there's no key to copy.

### Can I use the Unsplash MCP server from Slack?

Yes. Connect it to Maito once, then mention Maito in any Slack channel or send it a direct message. The same connection works by email and from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse.

### Does everyone on my team have to connect Unsplash?

No. One person connects it once and chooses Workspace. Then everyone in the workspace, shared chats and Loops can use Unsplash, without signing in themselves. Choose Only me instead to keep it to your own chats.

### Do I have to connect Unsplash before I ask?

No. If a request needs Unsplash and it isn't connected yet, your agent sends you a link. Connect it, and the work picks up where it stopped.

### Can I limit what Maito does in Unsplash?

Yes. After you connect, turn off any Unsplash tools you don't want Maito to use, such as the ones that change data. Tools Unsplash adds later stay off until you turn them on.
