FindMe Photo MCP Server

Official Model Context Protocol server for FindMe Photo — the AI-powered wedding gallery platform.

Drive your FindMe galleries from Claude, ChatGPT Codex, Cursor, and any other MCP-compatible AI client. Create events, upload photos, pull analytics — all in natural language.

What it does

"Create a FindMe event for the Sarah & Mike wedding on April 22, upload every photo in ~/Pictures/Sarah-Mike to it, then show me the QR code."

The AI uses this MCP server to do all three steps in one turn.

Tools

ToolPurpose
create_eventCreate a new gallery.
list_eventsList your events (paginated).
get_eventGet event details + stats.
update_eventRename, re-date, or change access code.
delete_eventSoft-delete with 7-day recovery.

get_event_analyticsGuest visits, unique visitors, downloads, selfie searches.
get_usageCurrent-month API usage, storage, event totals.

Requirements

Install

The easiest way: let the AI install itself. Paste a prompt, the AI edits its own config. No hidden files.

For a step-by-step walkthrough aimed at non-technical photographers, see the full install guide.

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Desktop, click the Code tab (not Chat), then paste this prompt (replace the key):

Install the FindMe MCP server for me.

- Server name: findme
- Command: npx
- Args: -y findme-mcp
- Env var: FINDME_API_KEY = fm_live_PASTE_YOUR_KEY_HERE

Edit my claude_desktop_config.json under mcpServers, then tell me to fully quit and reopen Claude.
Claude Code (CLI)
claude mcp add findme --scope user --env FINDME_API_KEY=fm_live_xxxxx -- npx -y findme-mcp
ChatGPT Codex
codex mcp add findme --env FINDME_API_KEY=fm_live_xxxxx -- npx -y findme-mcp
Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code / Cline

Use the tool's built-in MCP install UI with:

  • Command: npx
  • Args: -y findme-mcp
  • Env: FINDME_API_KEY=fm_live_xxxxx
ChatGPT web / mobile

Coming soon — requires a hosted MCP endpoint. We're shipping mcp.findme.photo next. In the meantime, use Claude Desktop or Codex.

Any other MCP client
FINDME_API_KEY=fm_live_xxxxx npx findme-mcp

Verify

After restart, you should see findme in your client's tool list (12 tools). Try:

Create a FindMe event called "My First Gallery" for today, then show me the QR code.

Troubleshooting

"MCP server failed to start"
  • Ensure Node.js 18+: node --version
  • First run downloads the package via npx; allow it through your firewall
  • Check the JSON is valid if you edited manually (no trailing commas)
"Your FindMe API key is invalid or has been revoked"
"API access requires Free+, Growth, or Pro"

API access is a paid-tier feature. Upgrade at https://findme.photo/pricing.

Upload fails with "can't find folder" on macOS

macOS privacy protection. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access and add your AI client (Claude Desktop, Terminal, etc.). Then quit and reopen.

Upload partially failed

The tool never errors a whole batch for one bad file — it returns a summary showing which files succeeded and which didn't. Ask the AI to retry the failed ones specifically.

Limits

TierRate limitMonthly quota
Free+10 req/min500 / month
Growth60 req/min10,000 / month
Pro300 req/minUnlimited

Per file: 50 MB photos, 500 MB videos, 50 files per upload batch.

v1 limitations

  • upload_photos_from_drive_folder requires an existing Drive import created via the findme.photo web UI; the MCP can poll status but not create imports yet.
  • The MCP runs locally on the same machine as your AI client; it only sees files on that machine.
