Description

exif-mcp is a TypeScript-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that uses the fast exifr library to parse image metadata without external tools. It supports multiple formats (JPEG, TIFF, HEIC/AVIF, PNG) and multiple image input methods (file paths, URLs, base64, buffers). The server exposes specialized tools for reading full metadata segments, orientation, GPS coordinates, and thumbnails, and is designed for local, offline use. It is used in development and testing workflows such as the PlaceSpotter reverse geolocation service.
