## Common questions

### What is the Stock Images MCP server?

Stock Images MCP is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.jeanpfs/stock-images-mcp. Search and download free stock images from Pexels, Unsplash, and Pixabay. This page covers its npm package (stock-images-mcp).

### Is the Stock Images MCP server safe to use?

Stock Images MCP scores 90 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. 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 Stock Images MCP server expose?

Stock Images MCP exposes 2 tools: search_images, download_image. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 168 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Stock Images MCP server still maintained?

Stock Images MCP 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 Stock Images MCP server under?

Stock Images MCP 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 Stock Images MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Stock Images MCP, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
