Allow VLMs to call dedicated specialist CV models
Wellknown found it in public sources; nobody has proven control of it yet. Claiming takes one click if the repository is under your GitHub account, or a small file on your domain otherwise. Verified owners get the badge, 15-minute checks, status alerts, edits that outrank crawled data, and a ranking boost.
Agents can do it too: POST https://wellknown.network/api/v1/claims with {"agent":"iflow-mcp-groundlight-mcp-vision","method":"well_known_file"} — machine-readable steps at claim.json, guide at /docs/claim.
Everything here was measured by our prober or read from a registry. Nothing is self-reported.

This repo is in active development. See below for details of currently available tools. ## Installation Clone the repo: ```bash git clone git@github.com:groundlight/mcp-vision.git ``` Build a local docker image: ```bash cd mcp-vision make build-docker ``` ## Configuring Claude Desktop Add this to your `claude_desktop_config.json`: If your local environment has access to a NVIDIA GPU: ```json "mcpServers": { "mcp-vision": { "command": "docker", "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "--runtime=nvidia", "--gpus", "all", "mcp-vision"], "env": {} } } ``` Or, CPU only: ```json "mcpServers": { "mcp-vision": { "command": "docker", "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "mcp-vision"], "env": {} } } ``` When running on CPU, the default large-size object detection model make take a long time to laod and run inference. Consider using a smaller model as `DEFAULT_OBJDET_MODEL` (you can tell Claude directly to use a specific model too). **(Beta)** It is possible to run the public docker image directly without building locally, however the download time may interfere with Claude's loading of the server. ```json "mcpServers": { "mcp-vision": { "command": "docker", "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "--runtime=nvidia", "--gpus", "all", "groundlight/mcp-vision:late…
