MIT License Node 20+ MCP SDK 1.29+

visual-hunt-mcp 是一个用于 macOS 的本地 TypeScript MCP 服务器,它通过 CDP 连接到你现有的 Chrome 会话,帮助 Codex / Claude 为海报、壁纸和灵感板寻找视觉效果强烈的图像候选素材。

v0.4.0 · 11 个工具 · 端到端审计 · 15/15 行为测试通过 · 在 10 个主题的真实压力测试中下载了 108 张图像 · 附带评估套件和全套测试工具。

它的设计目标是:

  • 使用官方的 @modelcontextprotocol/sdk 和 McpServer 以及 registerTool

  • 通过 chromium.connectOverCDP(...) 连接到本地 Chrome 实例

  • 在你选择进行人工辅助审查时,复用你本地已登录的浏览器配置文件

  • 避免绕过付费墙、登录墙、验证码或平台控制

  • 返回候选素材元数据,并可选择将图像文件下载到 MCP 服务器当前工作目录下创建的项目文件夹中

为什么选择 CDP

本项目使用 Chrome DevTools Protocol 而不是启动一个新的自动化浏览器,这样 MCP 服务器就可以复用你所控制的本地 Chrome 配置文件。这使得 Instagram 和小红书的工作流更加实用,因为浏览器会话可以保持已登录状态,而 MCP 服务器仍然保留在你的 Mac 本地。

Related MCP server: unsplash-mcp

为什么 Instagram / 小红书需要人工辅助

Instagram 和小红书通常需要登录,布局经常变化,并且可能会通过平台控制来限制内容。此 MCP 会特意在你连接的本地 Chrome 中打开这些页面,并且仅在可用时提取可见的公共图像候选素材。它不会尝试绕过登录、速率限制或访问限制。

下载范围

本项目现在可以为 Unsplash、Pexels、Pixabay、壁纸网站以及当你连接的 Chrome 会话有权访问时,从人工辅助社交浏览中浮现出的可见图像 URL 下载图像文件。仍适用以下一些护栏:

  • Google 托管的预览图和 Google 地图图像保持拦截状态

  • Instagram 和小红书仍然依赖于你连接的 Chrome 登录状态以及页面实际暴露的可见图像 URL

  • 你仍有责任在重复使用前检查许可协议

  • save_candidates_json 仅保留元数据,而 download_candidate_images 会写入图像文件以及下载清单

安装

cd /Users/lanston/Desktop/Codex/visual-hunt-mcp
npm install

为 MCP 启动 Chrome

npm run chrome:debug

此辅助程序仅将 Chrome 远程调试绑定到 127.0.0.1。它不会公开暴露 CDP 端口。

如果你更喜欢原始脚本:

chmod +x scripts/start-chrome-mcp.sh
./scripts/start-chrome-mcp.sh

验证工作流

在 Chrome 启动后运行确定性的 MCP 冒烟测试:

npm run smoke

进行涵盖所有 11 个工具的全面行为扫描(模式强制转换、查询优化、手动页面生命周期、登录墙抑制、误报过滤器、安全防护):

node scripts/full-test.mjs              # 15 cases including live Chrome paths
node scripts/full-test.mjs --skip-live  # 10 cases, fast, no browser deps

npm run smoke 验证的内容:

  • 本地 MCP 服务器从当前的 dist/ 输出通过 stdio 启动

  • tools/list 暴露了预期的工具集

  • open_url_and_extract_images 可以从本地固定页面提取可见候选素材

  • extract_manual_page_candidates 和 close_manual_page 可用于人工辅助的后续流程

  • save_candidates_json 将候选素材元数据写入临时输出根目录

  • download_candidate_images 下载允许的本地图像,并以明确的理由跳过被拦截的 Google 托管候选素材

冒烟测试使用临时的 VISUAL_HUNT_OUTPUT_ROOT 并在成功后进行清理。若要保留工件以供检查:

npm run smoke -- --keep-output

若要进行更高置信度的通过测试,该测试还会通过你连接的 Chrome 会话访问实时的 Google 图片和壁纸搜索流程:

npm run smoke:live

使用 npm run validate 作为稳定的默认验证命令。它现在会先运行 npm run build,然后运行确定性的冒烟测试。

在本地运行 MCP

npm run dev

用于生产环境:

npm run build
node dist/index.js

Available Tools

11 tools
close_manual_pageClose Manual PageA
DestructiveIdempotent

Close a previously opened manual-assisted page and remove it from the in-memory registry. Returns {closed:false} if the manualPageId was unknown (already closed or expired); not an error.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
manualPageIdYes

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Description adds that it removes from registry and returns {closed:false} for unknown ID, going beyond annotations (destructiveHint, idempotentHint). No contradiction.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two concise sentences, front-loaded with action and resource, no wasted words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Covers main action and edge case, but could describe what manualPageId represents. However, tool complexity is low, and overall is fairly complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, but description adds no information about the parameter manualPageId beyond its name. Fails to compensate for the gap.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clearly states verb 'close' and resource 'manual-assisted page', distinguishing it from sibling open tools. No ambiguity.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Implies use after opening, but lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use. Doesn't reference any alternative close tools (none exist).

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

download_candidate_imagesDownload Candidate ImagesA

Download candidate images into a project folder under the current MCP working directory, using the connected browser session for cookies and referer when needed. Google-hosted previews and Google Maps imagery are blocked. candidates accepts either an array or a JSON-array string.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
projectNameYes
candidatesYes
limitNo

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations indicate openWorldHint=true, meaning side effects exist, but no destructive or idempotent hints. The description adds valuable behavioral context: it uses the browser session for cookies/referer, blocks Google-hosted previews and Google Maps imagery, and accepts flexible input formats for 'candidates'. This goes beyond annotations by specifying what is blocked and how sessions are used.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is extremely concise at two sentences, yet it packs essential information: destination, browser dependency, blocked sources, and parameter flexibility. No redundant text; every sentence adds value. Structure is front-loaded with the primary action.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complexity of 3 parameters (including a nested object) and no output schema, the description covers the download destination and blocking behavior. However, it omits important context like response details (success/failure), error handling, the effect of the 'limit' parameter, and prerequisites for the browser session. It is adequate but not fully complete for a tool with no output schema and low parameter documentation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain all parameters. It only partially covers 'candidates' by noting it accepts arrays or JSON strings. 'projectName' and 'limit' are left unexplained, lacking any additional context on their format, purpose, or constraints. The description fails to compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly specifies the action ('Download candidate images'), the target location ('into a project folder under the current MCP working directory'), and the mechanism ('using the connected browser session for cookies and referer when needed'). It effectively distinguishes this tool from siblings like 'save_candidates_json' or 'search_google_images' by focusing on downloading images rather than metadata or searches.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention when not to use it, nor does it reference sibling tools like 'save_candidates_json' for saving metadata instead. Usage context is only implied by the action (download) but lacks comparative decision criteria.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

extract_manual_page_candidatesExtract Manual Page CandidatesA
Read-only

Re-extract visible image candidates from a previously opened manual-assisted page after you log in, scroll, or dismiss overlays. The manualPageId comes from a prior open_*_visual_search call. Each access refreshes the TTL.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
manualPageIdYes
limitNo

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate read-only and non-destructive behavior. The description adds value by noting that each access refreshes the TTL, which goes beyond the annotations. No contradiction with annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is two sentences long, front-loaded with the core action, and contains no unnecessary words. Every sentence adds value.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool has 2 parameters, no output schema, and annotations, the description covers the purpose, usage scenario, and a behavioral note (TTL refresh). It does not describe return format or pagination, but is reasonably complete for a re-extraction tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains that manualPageId originates from a prior open_*_visual_search call, adding meaning. However, it provides no additional context for the optional limit parameter, so only partial compensation.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool re-extracts visible image candidates from a previously opened manual-assisted page. It specifies the verb 're-extract' and resource 'image candidates', and distinguishes from siblings by tying to a prior open_*_visual_search call.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides clear context for when to use the tool: after logging in, scrolling, or dismissing overlays. It does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives, but the usage scenario is well-defined.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

open_url_and_extract_imagesOpen URL And Extract ImagesA
Read-only

Open any http or https URL in the connected local Chrome session and extract visible image candidates. javascript:, file:, and other schemes are rejected.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYes
limitNo

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description discloses that the tool opens a URL in a local Chrome session and extracts visible image candidates, adding context beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint). It explains the scheme restriction, but does not detail browser state changes or extraction mechanics.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence that efficiently conveys the core functionality and a key constraint. However, it omits parameter details, which could be structured as a short list. It is concise but at the cost of completeness.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

There is no output schema, so the description should explain what 'extract visible image candidates' returns (e.g., image URLs, data). It also fails to describe the return format or any pagination behavior. Combined with missing parameter explanations, the tool is inadequately specified for reliable agent invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. It mentions the 'url' parameter but does not explain the 'limit' parameter, its purpose, or how it controls extraction. This leaves the agent guessing about a critical parameter.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action (open URL and extract images), the resource (connected local Chrome session), and the output (visible image candidates). It also explicitly rejects non-http/https schemes, distinguishing it from sibling tools that target specific sites.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description specifies that only http/https URLs are accepted and lists rejected schemes, but it does not provide guidance on when to use this generic tool versus specialized siblings like open_google_maps_visual_search. The usage context is implied but not explicitly contrasted.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

save_candidates_jsonSave Candidates JSONA

Save candidate metadata under the current MCP working directory without downloading image files. candidates accepts either an array or a JSON-array string.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
projectNameYes
candidatesYes

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate non-read-only. The description adds that images are not downloaded, which is helpful but does not cover other behaviors like overwriting or error handling. No contradiction with annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two concise sentences: first states the core action and location, second clarifies the parameter flexibility. No unnecessary words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Covers key behavior and parameter type but lacks details on return value, success/failure, file naming, or idempotency. Adequate but not rich.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The description adds value by explaining that 'candidates' accepts either an array or JSON string, which is not described in the schema. However, 'projectName' remains uncommented, and overall schema coverage is 0%.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool saves candidate metadata to the MCP working directory and explicitly excludes downloading image files. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like download_candidate_images.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies use for metadata-only saving without images, but does not explicitly give when/when-not guidance or name alternatives. Users must infer from sibling tool names.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

search_google_imagesSearch Google ImagesA
Read-only

Search Google Images (udm=2) for visually strong poster and wallpaper candidates using the connected local Chrome session. Default quality is 'normal' — pass 'cinematic' or 'poster' only when you actually want a stylistic suffix appended to the query (verbose suffixes can push Google to zero-results pages).

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
queryYes
limitNo
qualityNo

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description adds behavioral context beyond annotations: it mentions using a connected local Chrome session and warns that verbose quality suffixes can lead to zero results. Annotations already indicate read-only and non-destructive behavior; the description fills in additional dependencies and risks.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the core action, and includes a crucial warning. Every clause earns its place—no superfluous text.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a tool with 3 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the main purpose, a key parameter caveat, and the Chrome session dependency. It does not detail return values, but given the simplicity, it is mostly complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. It explains the 'quality' parameter's default and cautionary behavior, but does not clarify 'query' (though implied) or 'limit'. Partial value added.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: searching Google Images for poster and wallpaper candidates using a local Chrome session. It specifies the resource (Google Images with udm=2) and the verb (search), distinguishing it from sibling tools that target other platforms or actions.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides guidance on when to use the 'quality' parameter (pass 'cinematic' or 'poster' only when a stylistic suffix is wanted) and warns about zero-results pages. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool instead of other image search tools or provide exclusions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

search_wallpaper_sitesSearch Wallpaper SitesA
Read-only

Search supported wallpaper, photography, archive, and open-license image sources using direct site adapters with Google fallback. Pass sites as either an array of strings or a JSON-array string. Default quality suffix is 'cinematic' (kept for backwards-compat); reduce to 'normal' for noisy queries.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
queryYes
limitNo
sitesNo

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Adds context beyond annotations by explaining the Google fallback, direct site adapters, and quality suffix behavior. No contradictions with annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two concise sentences that front-load the purpose and provide necessary usage details without fluff.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Covers the main behaviors like fallback and sites flexibility. Lacks details on return format or limit parameter, but the tool is search-style and return is somewhat implied.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description partially compensates by explaining the `sites` parameter format (array or JSON string) and the default quality suffix. However, the `limit` and `query` parameters are not elaborated.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'Search', the resource (wallpaper, photography, etc., image sources), and the method (direct site adapters with Google fallback). It distinguishes from siblings like search_google_images by indicating multiple sources.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides guidance on how to use the `sites` parameter and the default quality suffix. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like search_google_images.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A4.2/5.0

Scored across 11 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct action or platform: opening specific sites (Google Maps, Instagram, Pinterest, Xiaohongshu, generic URL), extracting or re-extracting candidates, downloading or saving images, and searching via Google or wallpaper sites. No two tools have overlapping purposes, and descriptions clarify their unique roles.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., 'close_manual_page', 'download_candidate_images', 'open_google_maps_visual_search'). There are no deviations or mixed styles, ensuring predictability for agents.

Tool Count5/5

With 11 tools, the server is well-scoped for its purpose of visual hunting. Each tool serves a clear function without redundancy, and the count is neither too thin nor too heavy for the domain.

Completeness5/5

The tool set covers the full workflow: opening visual sources (platform-specific and generic), extracting and re-extracting candidates, downloading images, and saving metadata. There are no obvious missing operations like a 'list downloads' tool, but the core lifecycle is complete and agents can accomplish tasks without dead ends.
