Live photo data for Cursor users

Call `search_photos` and let the agent write code based on actual API results. You stop working with mock objects and start using live data. This keeps your codebase aligned with real content. The agent handles the parsing while you focus on the logic.

Inspect media via Cursor

Use `get_photo_info` to pull EXIF or title data directly into your editor buffer. It saves you from switching windows to check settings. Your code gets accurate inputs every time. It’s a direct line to the metadata you need.

Manage collections inside Cursor

The `list_photosets` tool lets you iterate through your albums programmatically. You can build scripts that process entire galleries without manual exports. It’s efficient for building photo-heavy applications. The tool provides the structure, you provide the features.
