MCP Photo

This MCP server allows agents to list official ID photo presets for France and Canada, calculate printable sheet layouts, and generate standalone HTML code for printing ID photo sheets at actual size. It validates grid constraints against paper margins and supports various paper formats like A4 and Letter.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

list_photo_presets

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

List the supported ID-photo document presets (France and Canada, with exact millimetre sizes, head-height bands, background rules and official sources), the printable paper formats, the standard grid layouts and usage notes. Takes no parameters.

plan_photo_sheet

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Compute the layout of an ID-photo print sheet without rendering it: resolves the photo size from the preset (or custom millimetres), counts the photos, and checks whether the grid fits the printable area of the chosen paper. Returns a JSON plan with ok, photo/needed/usable dimensions and a message; ok is false (never an error) when the grid does not fit.

render_photo_sheet_html

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Render a self-contained, printable HTML sheet tiling one ID photo at real physical size across a cols x rows grid on the chosen paper, with optional cut guides and image framing (zoom/offset). Pass the photo as an inline base64 data URL (image/jpeg or image/png); without one, the sheet prints sized placeholders. If the grid does not fit the paper, the tool returns a structured error with the exact needed and usable dimensions and renders nothing. WARNING: a base64 image payload is large and is echoed back inside the returned HTML, so it consumes a lot of the calling LLM client's context window; resize/compress the image (small JPEG, 3 MB decoded max) before calling, and prefer plan_photo_sheet when you only need the geometry.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http mcp-photo https://mcp-photo.custom-digital-services.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration
