webfetch
Federates image search across 25 providers including Wikimedia, Unsplash, Pexels, Spotify, and institutional archives like the Smithsonian and Library of Congress. Exposes three MCP tools: search_images for general queries, search_artist_images for music-focused lookups with kind filtering, and download_image with local caching and SHA-256 verification. Results rank by license quality first, rejecting UNKNOWN licenses by default unless you explicitly opt in providers like Bing or headless browser fallbacks. Each result includes attribution lines, dimensions, and structured license metadata. Reach for this when you need programmatic image sourcing that won't create compliance headaches, especially for content involving public figures, album art, or historical material where editorial and Creative Commons licensing matters.
