Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check MCP Photo every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

photo

list_photo_presets

List the supported ID-photo document presets (France and Canada, with exact millimetre sizes, head-height bands, background rules and official sources), the printable paper formats, the standard grid layouts and usage notes. Takes no parameters.

plan

plan_photo_sheet

Compute the layout of an ID-photo print sheet without rendering it: resolves the photo size from the preset (or custom millimetres), counts the photos, and checks whether the grid fits the printable area of the chosen paper. Returns a JSON plan with ok, photo/needed/usable dimensions and a message; ok is false (never an error) when the grid does not fit.

render

render_photo_sheet_html

Render a self-contained, printable HTML sheet tiling one ID photo at real physical size across a cols x rows grid on the chosen paper, with optional cut guides and image framing (zoom/offset). Pass the photo as an inline base64 data URL (image/jpeg or image/png); without one, the sheet prints sized placeholders. If the grid does not fit the paper, the tool returns a structured error with the exact needed and usable dimensions and renders nothing. WARNING: a base64 image payload is large and is echoed back inside the returned HTML, so it consumes a lot of the calling LLM client's context window; resize/compress the image (small JPEG, 3 MB decoded max) before calling, and prefer plan_photo_sheet when you only need the geometry.

MCP Photo — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can MCP Photo do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: list_photo_presets, plan_photo_sheet, render_photo_sheet_html. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is MCP Photo working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 669 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect MCP Photo?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does MCP Photo need an API key?

No. MCP Photo completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is MCP Photo?

It answers our handshake in 669 ms on average, which is faster than 14% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
