Common questions

Is Optics MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Sunex Optics MCP Server

A public Model Context Protocol server that lets AI assistants search Sunex's lens and imager catalog in natural language.

Live endpoint: https://mcp.sunex-ai.com/mcp Landing page: sunex-ai.com Transport: Streamable HTTP (MCP spec 2025-03-26). Legacy SSE endpoint at /sse preserved for older clients.

Connect in 30 seconds

Claude

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://mcp.sunex-ai.com/mcp

Cursor / Continue / Zed

Add to your MCP config with transport streamable-http and the URL above.

ChatGPT

Via any MCP → OpenAPI bridge as a custom GPT Action.

Five tools

Tool	What it does
`recommend_lens_for_imager`	Give it an imager PN → compatible lenses with FOV and angular resolution. One shot.
`search_imagers`	Find sensors by PN, manufacturer, or resolution class.
`get_imager_detail`	Full sensor specs plus computed geometry (width / height / diagonal in mm).
`find_compatible_lenses`	Given pixel count + pitch, return lenses whose image circle covers the sensor.
`search_products`	Full catalog search by PN or keyword, with sample pricing and RFQ links.

Example prompts

*"Recommend a wide-angle lens for the Sony IMX577 with F/2.0 or faster."*
*"I need fisheye lenses under $100."*
*"What's the diagonal of the IMX477 in mm?"*
*"Find lenses for a 1920×1080 sensor with 3µm pixels, 100–180° HFOV."*

Architecture

(MCP client) (Cloudflare Worker) (ASP JSON API)

Thin proxy on Cloudflare Workers (free tier) over Sunex's production catalog. Streamable HTTP transport per MCP spec 2025-03-26 (with legacy SSE preserved). No auth, read-only.

Endpoints

Path	Purpose
`/mcp`	Primary — Streamable HTTP transport (current MCP standard)
`/sse`	Legacy SSE transport, preserved for backward compatibility
`/.well-known/mcp.json`	Public discovery manifest
`/`	Landing page with install instructions

Self-host
