Aspect provides two ways to work with AI: the built-in Aspect Agent and Aspect MCP for external assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT. Both can work with your Aspect media context, but they run in different places and are suited to different workflows.

​
Aspect Agent

Aspect Agent is built directly into Aspect. Use it when you want to work with your media library without leaving the Aspect workspace. It is the best starting point for everyday library work, including finding content and working with information already stored in Aspect.

​
Aspect MCP

Aspect MCP connects a compatible external AI assistant to Aspect. After connecting, the external assistant can use supported Aspect tools and media context while you continue working in that assistant. Use MCP when your workflow starts in Claude, ChatGPT, or another compatible client and needs access to Aspect.
MCP provides the connection and supported tools. Scheduling, background automation, and event triggers must be handled by the external assistant or another workflow service.

​
Choose the right option

You can use both. Aspect Agent supports work inside Aspect, while MCP makes supported Aspect capabilities available to an external assistant.
