Picdefenseio Mcp Server
Connects Claude to the PicDefense.io API for image risk analysis and forensics. Exposes nine tools covering reverse-image risk scoring (the core picrisk metric), EXIF extraction with GPS data, backlink discovery to find where an image appears on the web, and content detection for faces, landmarks, logos, labels, and SafeSearch moderation signals. Each user authenticates with their own PicDefense API token, so no shared credentials. Available as a hosted server at mcp.picdefense.io over Streamable HTTP or SSE, or run locally via npx. Reach for this when you need to vet image provenance, check if a photo has been published elsewhere, or pull camera metadata and content flags without leaving your Claude workflow.
