Provides image recognition by routing images to any OpenAI-compatible vision model, enabling analysis of local files, URLs, or clipboard images with models like GPT-4o, GLM-4V, and Qwen-VL.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@claude-image-recognition-mcpDescribe this image: /tmp/screenshot.png"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
