Copyseeker MCP Server

Give Claude, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Windsurf, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI and any other MCP client three image tools from Copyseeker:

Each tool takes a direct image URL or the path to a local image file (up to 20 MB). Calls draw from the same credit balance as the website, Monitor and the Copyseeker API.

Requirements

• Node.js 20 or newer

• A paid Copyseeker plan and an API key: create one under Account → Developers at copyseeker.net/account

Setup

Claude Code

claude mcp add copyseeker -e COPYSEEKER_API_KEY=your_api_key -- npx -y copyseeker-mcp-server

Claude Desktop

Add this to claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "copyseeker": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "copyseeker-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "COPYSEEKER_API_KEY": "your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add the same mcpServers entry as for Claude Desktop to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project).

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json in your project. VS Code asks for the key on first use and stores it securely:

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "copyseeker-api-key",
      "description": "Copyseeker API key",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "copyseeker": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "copyseeker-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "COPYSEEKER_API_KEY": "${input:copyseeker-api-key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then use the tools from Copilot Chat in agent mode.

Windsurf

Add the same mcpServers entry as for Claude Desktop to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.

OpenAI Codex CLI

Add this to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.copyseeker]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "copyseeker-mcp-server"]
env = { COPYSEEKER_API_KEY = "your_api_key" }

Gemini CLI

Add the same mcpServers entry as for Claude Desktop to ~/.gemini/settings.json.

Other clients

Any MCP client that can launch a local (stdio) server works. Configure it to run npx -y copyseeker-mcp-server with the COPYSEEKER_API_KEY environment variable set.

ChatGPT connectors only accept remote MCP servers reached over HTTPS, so this local server does not work there.

Examples

• "Where else on the web does https://example.com/photo.jpg appear? Who published it first?"

• "Is ~/Downloads/portrait.png AI-generated?"

• "Check these five product images for NSFW content before I upload them."

Errors

Failures come back to the assistant as plain explanations it can act on: an invalid key, a missing plan, an empty balance (with the top-up link), the rate limit of 60 calls per minute (with how long to wait), or a URL that points to a web page instead of an image. A search that fails on Copyseeker's side is refunded.

Upgrading from 1.x

Version 2 calls the Copyseeker API directly instead of RapidAPI:

• Replace COPYSEEKER_RAPIDAPI_KEY with COPYSEEKER_API_KEY, a key from your Copyseeker account.

• The tools are now reverse_image_search, detect_ai_image and detect_nsfw. analyze_image_copyright, find_exact_matches and find_similar_images are gone: reverse_image_search covers them.

• Node.js 20 or newer is required.

Development

npm install
npm test        # builds, then runs the server against a fake Copyseeker API

COPYSEEKER_API_URL points the server at another API base URL (default https://api.copyseeker.net).
