Image Reader MCP
Enables optional local semantic object detection via Ollama, allowing the read_image tool to return open-vocabulary objects with bounding boxes and confidence scores.

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.
Iris
Image facts with pixel-level proof
Iris gives agents deterministic facts from screenshots, UI captures, forms, diagrams, charts, and other images. It returns dimensions, metadata, OCR regions, layout blocks, crops, and trust warnings without requiring a generative vision model.

{
"path": "/absolute/path/to/screenshot.png",
"include_ocr": true
}The result includes image dimensions, hash, OCR lines with bounding boxes, layout blocks, a text map for agents, and explicit warnings or gaps.

Jobs Iris is built for
Ask your agent | Iris returns |
“Read this screenshot.” | text regions and layout facts |
“What changed between these UI captures?” | image diff evidence |
“Extract this form.” | OCR lines and boxes |
“Crop the important region.” | citeable pixel evidence |
“Check the image metadata.” | format, dimensions, EXIF trust warnings |
Tool surface
Tool | Purpose |
| Primary image facts and optional OCR |
| Cheap metadata and geometry probe |
| Extract a citeable pixel region |
| Report pixel and layout differences between two images |
Predictable defaults
fastreturns deterministic metadata, geometry, and layout.qualityexplicitly enables OCR and local semantic helpers.Generative captions and object detection are opt-in and never authoritative.
GPS metadata is redacted unless explicitly requested.
Oversized or unsupported files fail with a structured error.
Why agents trust it
Every result keeps source path and hash, pixel locators, extraction route, confidence or warnings, and known gaps. OCR and optional model output never replace deterministic geometry.
