Stock Photo MCPDocs

Getting started

Stock Photo MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI design agents live search across commercial stock libraries. A search returns a numbered contact sheet of watermarked previews plus structured results — asset ids, license links, and the attribution each source requires. The agent picks a result, fetches its full watermarked preview for placement, and hands the human a license link. Purchases complete on the vendor's site — always.

How a search flows

  1. The agent calls search_stock_photos with 1–4 short visual subjects and reads the numbered contact sheet it gets back.
  2. It picks a result by badge number and calls get_image for the full watermarked preview, placing it in the design with the required attribution.
  3. When the human approves the design, they license the image through the result's license link on the vendor's site. The watermark stays until then.
