This is an MCP Server for retrieving EXIF data from images and videos using ExifTool.
The exiftool-mcp-server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to facilitate the extraction of EXIF metadata from image and video files. By leveraging the powerful capabilities of ExifTool, this server provides a robust solution for accessing detailed metadata information, such as timestamps, GPS data, and other EXIF properties. The server operates by listening for JSON-RPC 2.0 requests on standard input and returning the requested EXIF data as JSON responses on standard output. This setup ensures a seamless and efficient communication channel between clients and the server, making it an ideal choice for applications that require precise metadata extraction. The server is compatible with various MCP tools, allowing for flexible and targeted data retrieval based on specific needs.
