Photographi MCP

Fast, private, and grounded technical photo analysis for AI applications. photographi-mcp is an MCP server that enables AI models and LLM-powered tools to perform technical analysis on local photo libraries. It runs computer vision models directly on your hardware (powered by photo-quality-analyzer-core) to evaluate sharpness, focus, and exposure - enabling capabilities like automated culling, burst ranking, and…. Its 8 documented tools cover analyze, folder, photographs, cull.

People connecting media tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Photographi MCP

Claude Code

claude mcp add prasadabhishek-photographi-mcp -- uvx photographi-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "prasadabhishek-photographi-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "photographi-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package photographi-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.prasadabhishek is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
