What is the Flickr Mcp Server?

Flickr Mcp Server is an MCP project maintained in the soctib/flickr-mcp-server repository. The maintainer describes its purpose as “An MCP server that lets AI assistants see, describe, tag, and manage photos on your Flickr account. Browse photos and albums, draft titles/descriptions/tags, check stats…”. Read the project documentation for the complete scope.

Local setup

The project provides a local client configuration using node. Follow the repository’s build and installation steps before copying it, and replace example paths with the paths on your own computer.

Configuration values

The example declares FLICKR_CONSUMER_KEY, FLICKR_CONSUMER_SECRET, FLICKR_OAUTH_TOKEN, FLICKR_OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET. Secret-looking values have been replaced with placeholders. Required and optional labels are shown only when the documentation states them.
