### Description (declared)

# MCP Image Recognition Server

An MCP server that provides image recognition capabilities using Anthropic and OpenAI vision APIs. Version 0.1.2.

## Features

- Image description using Anthropic Claude Vision or OpenAI GPT-4 Vision
- Support for multiple image formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP)
- Configurable primary and fallback providers
- Base64 and file-based image input support
- Optional text extraction using Tesseract OCR

## Requirements

- Python 3.8 or higher
- Tesseract OCR (optional) - Required for text extraction feature
  - Windows: Download and install from [UB-Mannheim/tesseract](https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/wiki)
  - Linux: `sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr`
  - macOS: `brew install tesseract`

## Installation

1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/mario-andreschak/mcp-image-recognition.git
cd mcp-image-recognition
```

2. Create and configure your environment file:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your API keys and preferences
```

3. Build the project:
```bash
build.bat
```

## Usage

### Running the Server

```bash
python -m mcp_vision_recognition.server
```

Start the server using batch instead:
```bash
run.bat server
```

Start the server in development mode with the MCP Inspector:
```bash
run.bat debug
```

### Available Tools
