{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elysiatools-image-iptc": {
      "name": "image-iptc",
      "description": "Extract and view IPTC metadata from images including copyright, keywords, captions, and editorial information",

List available tools

After connecting to the SSE endpoint, list the exposed tools:

tools/list

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/list"
}

Call this tool

Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:

tools/call

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "image-iptc",
    "arguments": {

File parameters accept a public file URL only (https://…). Local paths, data: URIs, and Base64 strings are not supported.
