Enhanced Image Analysis MCP Server

# 🚨 DEPENDENCY FIX - Enhanced Image Analysis MCP Server ## ❌ **PROBLEM IDENTIFIED** The server was failing with: ``` ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL' ``` This happened because the Pillow library wasn't installed for the specific Python interpreter that Claude Desktop was using (`/usr/local/bin/python3`). ## ✅ **SOLUTIONS IMPLEMENTED** ### 1. 🔧 **Enhanced Server with Dependency Checking** - **Updated**: `enhanced_image_analysis_server.py` - **Features Added**: - Graceful handling when PIL is missing - `check_dependencies` tool for diagnostics - Fallback to basic analysis when PIL unavailable - Clear error messages with installation instructions ### 2. 📦 **Automatic Dependency Installation** - **Created**: `fix_dependencies.sh` - Automated fix script - **Installs**: MCP and Pillow with correct Python interpreter - **Tests**: Dependencies and server functionality ### 3. 🔍 **Diagnostic Tools** - **Created**: `diagnose.py` - Comprehensive diagnostics - **Checks**: Python version, dependencies, server functionality - **Provides**: Specific fix recommendations ### 4. ⚙️ **Updated Configuration** - **Updated**: Claude Desktop config with proper Python path - **Added**: PYTHONPATH environment variable - **Ensured**: Correct dependency loading ## 🚀 **HOW TO FIX** ### **Option 1: Automatic Fix (Recommended)** ```bash cd /Users/anthonyturner/MCPs/image-analysis-server ./fix_dependencies.sh ``` ### **Option 2: Manual Fix** ```bash /usr/local/bin/python3 -m pip install --user mcp Pillow ``` ### **Option 3: If Using Homebrew Python** ```bash /opt/homebrew/bin/python3 -m pip install mcp Pillow ``` Then update Claude config to use `/opt/homebrew/bin/python3` ## 🔄 **AFTER FIXING** 1. **Restart Claude Desktop completely** (quit and reopen) 2. **Test the server** by asking: *"Check if image analysis dependencies are installed"* 3. **If working**: You'll see ✅ All dependencies available 4. **If limited**: Server works but suggests installing Pillow for full features ## 🎯 **NEW FEATURES IN v2.1** ### **Robust Error Handling** - Server starts even without Pillow - Provides clear error messages - Suggests exact installation commands ### **Dependency Checking Tool** Use the new tool to check status: ``` Check if my image analysis server dependencies are working ``` ### **Graceful Degradation** - Basic filename analysis works without Pillow - Full color/EXIF analysis requires Pillow - Clear indicators of available functionality ## 📊 **Server Status Indicators** | Status | Meaning | Action | |--------|---------|--------| | ✅ Full analysis | All dependencies available | Ready to use! | | ⚠️ Limited analysis | MCP available, Pillow missing | Install Pillow for full features | | ❌ Server disconnected | MCP missing or other error | Run fix script | ## 🛠️ **Files Created/Updated** ``` /Users/anthonyturner/MCPs/image-analysis-server/ ├── enhanced_image_analysis_server.py # ✅ Updated with error handling ├── fix_dependencies.sh # 🆕 Automatic fix script ├── diagnose.py # 🆕 Diagnostic tool ├── claude_desktop_config_alternative.json # 🆕 Alternative config └── DEPENDENCY_FIX.md # 🆕 This document ``` ## 🔧 **Troubleshooting Guide** ### **Issue**: "No module named 'PIL'" **Solution**: Run `./fix_dependencies.sh` or install manually ### **Issue**: "No module named 'mcp'" **Solution**: Install MCP: `/usr/local/bin/python3 -m pip install mcp` ### **Issue**: Server still disconnecting **Solutions**: 1. Run `python3 diagnose.py` for detailed diagnosis 2. Check Python path in Claude config matches installed location 3. Restart Claude Desktop after changes ### **Issue**: "Limited analysis" messages **Solution**: Install Pillow for full functionality **Note**: Basic features still work without Pillow ## ✅ **SUCCESS INDICATORS** When working properly, you should see: - ✅ Server connects without errors in Claude Desktop - 🎯 Image analysis tools available in Claude - 🔍 Detailed color and metadata analysis - 📁 Smart file organization capabilities ## 🆘 **Getting Help** If problems persist: 1. Run `python3 diagnose.py` and share output 2. Check Claude Desktop logs for specific errors 3. Verify Python installation with `which python3` 4. Try alternative Python paths (Homebrew vs system) --- **🎉 The Enhanced Image Analysis MCP Server is now more robust and should work even with dependency issues!** *After running the fix, restart Claude Desktop and test with: "Analyze images in my Pictures folder"*
