Local MCP server

originalpictures-mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that runs next to your MCP client and calls the public API with your key. It offers the same tools as the hosted MCP server; use it when your client only launches local (stdio) servers.

What	Value
Package	originalpictures-mcp on PyPI (0.1.0, 2026-11-10)
MCP Registry	com.originalpictures/mcp on the official MCP Registry
Source	originalpictures-clients
Requires	Python 3.12 or later and uv (for uvx)

Configure your client

Add this entry to the client’s MCP settings (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline and others use the same shape):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "originalpictures": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["originalpictures-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ORIGINALPICTURES_API_KEY": "opk_...",
        "ORIGINALPICTURES_API_BASE_URL": "https://api.originalpictures.com",
        "ORIGINALPICTURES_MCP_SCOPES": "assets:read,jobs:read,recipes:read,verifications:read"
      }
    }
  }
}

With Claude Code, the same entry is one command:

claude mcp add-json original-pictures '{"command":"uvx","args":["originalpictures-mcp"],"env":{"ORIGINALPICTURES_API_KEY":"opk_...","ORIGINALPICTURES_API_BASE_URL":"https://api.originalpictures.com","ORIGINALPICTURES_MCP_SCOPES":"assets:read,jobs:read,recipes:read,verifications:read"}}'

ORIGINALPICTURES_MCP_SCOPES is an allowlist: with it empty, no tool is enabled. Start read-only. Add sign:write or verify:write only when signing or verification should be allowed; both are billable, and each billable call asks for a confirmation argument. Keep the key in the client’s configuration only, never in a prompt.

For AI agents

An agent installing the server for a user can follow llms-install.md in the public repository: it asks for a key, chooses scopes and checks the server with a read-only call.
