Model Context Protocol

Give your assistant a photo library.

Ask Claude or ChatGPT for an image the way you would describe it to a person — and get real photographs back, in the conversation, ready to use.

A Claude conversation: a request for photographs of someone working late at night, answered by a grid of sixteen photographs with their credits.
One request, sixteen photographs, credits included — inside the conversation. Follow up with “more like #3” and the assistant knows what you mean.

Connect it in under a minute

There is nothing to install and no key to generate. You sign in to Pexafy once, in a browser window, and the connector gets its own credentials.

Everything else

Any MCP client works — point it at the same URL over the streamable-http transport. In Claude Code, one line: 

claude mcp add --transport http \
  pexafy https://mcp.pexafy.com/mcp

Clients without OAuth can send a Pexafy API key as a bearer token instead.

Three tools, read-only

The connector can search. It cannot write to your account, and it never asks for permission to.

search_photos

Describe a scene in a full sentence. Pexafy searches by meaning, so “two people sharing a bench in comfortable silence” works better than a list of keywords.

search_photos_by_image

Give it a reference image and get visually similar photographs — optionally adjusted in words: “like this, but at night”.

photo_similar

More like a photo you already have. Results are numbered, so you refer to one by its rank rather than copying an identifier.

A follow-up in the same conversation — “more like #1” — answered by sixteen photographs shot in the same room. The panel that opens on a thumbnail: photographer, source, resolution, licence, dominant colour, orientation and description.

Every result carries the credit to display, and comes from one of 9 free-licence sources.

Free to use

The Free plan covers 5000 searches a month — enough for regular use, and no card required. When you reach a limit, the assistant tells you in the conversation instead of failing with an unreadable error.

Revocable at any time

The connector holds its own credentials, separate from your password. Remove it from your assistant and the access is gone.
