What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs on your computer
Transport: stdio
Category: Design, images & audio

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "iris": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@sylphx/iris"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add iris -- npx -y @sylphx/iris

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "iris": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@sylphx/iris"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "iris": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@sylphx/iris"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is Iris 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 on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.4.1) reached the registry 44 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Iris

Image facts with pixel-level proof.

Dimensions, format, and metadata by default. Local Tesseract OCR only when requested.

npm @sylphx/iris · bin iris · MCP io.github.SylphxAI/iris

The problem

A screenshot is not a paragraph. An agent that guesses the text, the size, or the pixels it never measured will cite something it cannot show.

The difference

The ask	Iris returns
“Read this screenshot.”	dimensions, format, metadata, and trust warnings. No OCR unless you ask.
“Read the text.”	OCR lines with boxes, only when `include_ocr` is true or `profile` is `quality`.
“What changed between these two captures?”	changed pixels and a changed box, when both images are the same size.
“Crop this region.”	pixel bounds and a hash. PNG bytes only if `include_region_image` is true.

Iris does not run a generative vision model. A missing Tesseract binary is a gap, not a made-up transcription.

Install

npx -y @sylphx/iris

That starts a stdio MCP server. No API key. OCR needs the tesseract binary on PATH.

Your client	Setup
Any agent / CLI	`npx -y @sylphx/iris`
Claude Code	`claude mcp add iris -- npx -y @sylphx/iris`
Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code / Codex	`"command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@sylphx/iris"]`

"mcpServers": { "iris": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@sylphx/iris"] } } }

A read, then text only if you ask

{ "path": "/absolute/path/to/screenshot.png" }

fast, or no profile, returns dimensions, format, metadata, and trust warnings. It does not run OCR.

"path": "/absolute/path/to/screenshot.png", "include_ocr": true }

include_ocr: true, or profile: "quality", runs local Tesseract. Explicit include_ocr: false wins over quality. If Tesseract is missing, status stays ok and gaps includes OCR_UNAVAILABLE.

Reference: tools · defaults

Tools

Tool	When to call it
`read_image`	One local image. Geometry and metadata. OCR only when requested. An optional `region` crops inside this read.
`image_probe`	Format, dimensions, pixel count, and source hash. No OCR and no crop.
`crop_region`	One citeable region: bounds and hash. Set `include_region_image` for PNG bytes. No OCR.
`compare_images`	Changed pixels between two images of equal dimensions. No OCR.

What it will not pretend

GPS fields are always redacted. There is no switch that puts them back.
The default file cap is 32 MiB (33,554,432 bytes). A cropped region may not exceed 67,108,864 pixels.
compare_images requires equal dimensions. It does not resize either image.
OCR lines are {text, bbox, confidence}. The default language is eng.
Oversized or undecodable files fail with an error. They are not returned as a successful read.
