# Image Vision MCP MCP Server that provides descriptions of images. ## Requirements ### Ollama You must have [Ollama](https://ollama.com/) set up, and exposing its LLMs via its API / webserver. By default, the MCP uses the [llava:34b](https://ollama.com/library/llava) LLM, which you need to have installed and on the same computer that Ollama is running on. You can install the model via: ``` ollama run llava:34b ``` You can also specify a different model installed via Ollama via the **--model** argument in Claude config. ## Installation In order to install the MCP into Claude, add the following to the **claude_desktop_config.json** file. ``` "image-vision": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "node", "C:/Users/FOO/src/image-vision-mcp/src/image-vision-mcp.js", "--permitted", "C:/Users/FOO/mcp", "--host", "http://192.168.1.238:11434" ] } ``` ### Arguments * **--permitted** (required) The paths that the MCP is allowed to access. You can include multiple entries. * **--host** (optional) The host and post for the Ollama server. Defaults to http://127.0.0.1:11434 * **--model** (optional) The model installed into Ollama that should be used for the image vision. Defaults to "llava:34b". ## Usage To run the server: ```bash node src/image-vision-mcp.js --permitted /path/to/dir1 /path/to/dir2 ``` The `--permitted` flag is used to specify which directories roots the MCP is allowed to access for security reasons. ## Development You can run in development mode using the [MCP inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk?tab=readme-ov-file): ``` npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node src/image-vision-mcp.js --permitted /Users/FOO/Desktop/mcp/ ``` ## Questions, Feature Requests, Feedback If you have any questions, feature requests, need help, or just want to chat, join the [discord](https://discord.gg/fgxw9t37D7).
