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

book
create_book
Use this when the person wants a photo book (Dutch: fotoboek) made from photos they attached, direct image links, or a public iCloud Shared Album link. Designs a draft book from the photos in the supplied order; nothing is ordered or charged. Photos the person attached in this chat go in attachments, which ChatGPT fills in; never pass local file paths. Otherwise provide direct CDN image URLs or uploadIds from POST /api/connector/photos in photos, or a public iCloud Shared Album link as sharedAlbumUrl (https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#TOKEN). A book needs at least 24 pages to be printed, so a handful of photos gives a book that can be viewed but not yet ordered. Returns a preview and a private link to save the book by email. No account setup. Allow up to 180 seconds for imports.
get_book
Use this to show a book that was already made, or to get its price for one copy including shipping when country is supplied. Needs the book's private bookToken. Photos, cover, title, layout and materials are changed in the foto foto editor.
catalog
get_catalog
List book types, shipping countries and photo requirements. Free.
checkout
create_checkout
Prepare an optional Stripe checkout link after email claim, using the bookToken. No charge occurs until the user confirms payment at Stripe. Collect the destination country first. Reuse idempotencyKey on retry.
compare
compare_photo_book_prices
Use this when someone asks what a photo book (Dutch: fotoboek) costs, how foto foto's price compares with other services, how long delivery takes or the last day to order for Christmas, or which services sell a layflat book, a linen cover or fine-art paper. Prices one book (binding, cover, paper, pages) at foto foto and at albelli, CEWE, Fotofabriek, Pixum, smartphoto, Kruidvat, Profotonet and Saal Digital, cheapest first, with each service's published delivery time and Christmas order-by date and the page each price was read from. List prices in euros with VAT, without shipping or discounts. For a book that was already made, get_book gives its price with shipping. Free, changes nothing.
pay
pay_book
Buy the exact quoted book using native MPP. Only after the buyer approves its total and delivery address. Supply quoteId and bookToken. A payment challenge is returned through JSON-RPC; retry the same call with the authorized payment credential in _meta. This charges the buyer.
payment
create_payment_quote
Prepare a fixed payment quote for a printed book, including shipping, for MPP and, when listed, x402 (USDC on Base). Requires a complete delivery address. No charge yet. Ask the user to confirm before paying: pay_book for MPP, or POST paymentUrl with an x402 client for USDC. Quote expires after 15 minutes.
start
start_photo_book
Use this when someone wants to make a printed photo book (Dutch: fotoboek) or photo album but has not shared any photos yet. Shows a card where they pick the photos, in order, right here. Nothing is ordered or charged.

foto foto — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can foto foto do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_photo_book_prices, create_book, create_checkout, create_payment_quote, get_book, get_catalog and 2 more. 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 foto foto 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 1063 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect foto foto?
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 foto foto need an API key?
No. foto foto completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is foto foto?
It answers our handshake in 1063 ms on average, which is faster than 3% 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.
