## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 3 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 61/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 469 tokens (~156/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 43/100
  - Stability observed for 13 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 67/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Install

### How do I install the MCP Photo server?

MCP Photo is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp-photo.custom-digital-services.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

## MCP tools (3)

### `list_photo_presets` (~56 tokens)

List the supported ID-photo document presets (France and Canada, with exact millimetre sizes, head-height bands, background rules and official sources), the printable paper formats, the standard grid layouts and usage notes. Takes no parameters.

### `plan_photo_sheet` (~146 tokens)

Compute the layout of an ID-photo print sheet without rendering it: resolves the photo size from the preset (or custom millimetres), counts the photos, and checks whether the grid fits the printable area of the chosen paper. Returns a JSON plan with ok, photo/needed/usable dimensions and a message; ok is false (never an error) when the grid does not fit.

Input parameters:

- `cols` (integer)
- `customHeightMm`
- `customWidthMm` (number)
- `gapMm` (number)
- `marginMm` (number)
- `paper` (string)
- `preset` (string)
- `rows` (integer)

### `render_photo_sheet_html` (~267 tokens)

Render a self-contained, printable HTML sheet tiling one ID photo at real physical size across a cols x rows grid on the chosen paper, with optional cut guides and image framing (zoom/offset). Pass the photo as an inline base64 data URL (image/jpeg or image/png); without one, the sheet prints sized placeholders. If the grid does not fit the paper, the tool returns a structured error with the exact needed and usable dimensions and renders nothing. WARNING: a base64 image payload is large and is echoed back inside the returned HTML, so it consumes a lot of the calling LLM client's context window; resize/compress the image (small JPEG, 3 MB decoded max) before calling, and prefer plan_photo_sheet when you only need the geometry.

Input parameters:

- `cols` (integer)
- `customHeightMm`
- `customWidthMm` (number)
- `cutGuides` (boolean)
- `gapMm` (number)
- `imageDataUrl` (string)
- `marginMm` (number)
- `offsetXPct` (number)
- `offsetYPct` (number)
- `paper` (string)
- `preset` (string)
- `rows` (integer)
- `zoom` (number)

## Common questions

### What is the MCP Photo server?

MCP Photo is listed in the public MCP registry as fr.custom-digital-services/mcp-photo. List ID photo presets, plan print layouts, and render printable HTML photo sheets. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp-photo.custom-digital-services.com/mcp).

### Is the MCP Photo server safe to use?

MCP Photo scores 68 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. 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 MCP Photo server expose?

MCP Photo exposes 3 tools: list_photo_presets, plan_photo_sheet, render_photo_sheet_html. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 469 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the MCP Photo server require authentication?

No. We connected to MCP Photo without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the MCP Photo server still maintained?

MCP Photo 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.
