## Description

Managing a lifetime of digital photos is more than just moving files into folders. You have to deal with storage redundancy, privacy permissions for family members, and the constant risk of bit rot. This MCP gives your AI client the logic needed to manage these complexities. You can use it to map out a folder hierarchy that actually makes sense, ensuring every important collection has a primary copy and a backup. It also handles the social side of archiving by managing consent, making sure you don't accidentally share private albums with the wrong people. By automating maintenance schedules, it ensures your digital assets stay healthy through regular integrity checks. It turns a chaotic pile of images into a professional-grade archive that follows strict rules for both security and longevity.

## Tools

### validate_storage_compliance
This tool audits your proposed archive plan. It checks that you have followed the Primary-Copy and Backup-Location rules for every collection.

### calculate_preservation_schedule
This tool builds a recurring calendar for your archive. It schedules necessary maintenance tasks like integrity checks and backup refreshes.

### generate_access_matrix
This tool creates a permission map. It determines who can view specific albums by looking at individual consent and group permissions.

### plan_archive_structure
This tool designs your high-level organization. It defines your folder hierarchy, processing order, and how files are mapped to storage.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Help me plan an archive for my family photos from 1990-2000. John has granted consent, but Mary has restricted consent.
```

**Response:** 
```
I have generated the archive structure. The 1990-2000 collection is prioritized as Legacy, and the access matrix has been restricted to ensure Mary's privacy is maintained.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if my current photo storage plan follows the backup rules.
```

**Response:** 
```
The plan is compliant. All collections have a designated primary copy and at least one secondary backup location.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Create a maintenance schedule for my high-priority legacy photos.
```

**Response:** 
```
The maintenance schedule is ready. High-priority legacy collections are scheduled for integrity checks every 6 months.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this MCP handle privacy?**
It uses a tool to generate an access matrix. This matrix calculates who can see specific albums by checking individual consent against group permissions.

**Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?**
Yes. This MCP works with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

**What are the storage rules?**
The MCP enforces Primary-Copy and Backup-Location rules. It audits your plan to ensure every collection has a primary copy and a secondary backup.

**How do I prevent data loss?**
The MCP helps you calculate a preservation schedule. This includes automated tasks for integrity checks and backup refreshes.

**Do I need to host this myself?**
No. Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and start using the tools.

**How does the system handle privacy?**
The system uses `generate_access_matrix` to cross-reference person consent status with group permissions, ensuring no unauthorized access to restricted photos.

**How often should I check my photo backups?**
Maintenance frequency is determined by priority. Use `calculate_preservation_schedule` to generate a custom calendar where Legacy collections are checked every 6 months.
