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 Frenchie MCP server?
Frenchie is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.getfrenchie.dev/, 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.

What is the Frenchie MCP server?
Frenchie is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.Lab94/frenchie-skill. OCR, transcription, file extraction, and image generation for AI agents via MCP. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.getfrenchie.dev).
Is the Frenchie MCP server safe to use?
Frenchie scores 85 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 Frenchie MCP server expose?
Frenchie exposes 7 tools: ocr_to_markdown, transcribe_to_markdown, generate_image, extract_to_markdown, get_job_result, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,066 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Frenchie MCP server require authentication?
Its publisher declares that Frenchie requires credentials, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client. We have not been able to confirm that against the live endpoint.
Is the Frenchie MCP server still maintained?
Frenchie is still listed in the MCP registry, though our most recent checks did not reach this channel. We last reached this channel on 3 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
