Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 11 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 12 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

How do I install the PhotoS MCP server?
PhotoS runs locally as a PyPI package, launched with uvx --from 'photo-s-tools[mcp]' photo-s-tools mcp. The registry lists runner options for this package that are not in this command (they are not ones we reproduce, or they name another package). Check the registry entry before relying on it. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 3 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The registry lists runner options for this package that are not in this command (they are not ones we reproduce, or they name another package). Check the registry entry before relying on it.
What is the PhotoS MCP server?
PhotoS is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.Dongwu259/photo-s. Batch photo processing: compress, convert, EXIF, rename, dedup, cull, galleries. This page covers its PyPI package (photo-s-tools).
Is the PhotoS MCP server safe to use?
PhotoS scores 89 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the PhotoS MCP server expose?
PhotoS exposes 11 tools: process, info, exif, dedup, cull, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 761 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the PhotoS MCP server still maintained?
PhotoS is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What licence is the PhotoS MCP server under?
PhotoS declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
What did VerifyMCP test on the PhotoS MCP server?
VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on PhotoS, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to a PyPI package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
