What your AI agents can do
Add face to repo
Adds a new face image and its metadata into an existing facial repository.
Compare faces
Performs a one-to-one comparison to determine if two provided faces belong to the same person.
Create face repo
Creates a new, isolated container for storing and managing a set of facial identities.
The agent identifies faces in an image and can also moderate content to check for prohibited material.
It compares two faces (1:1) or searches for a face within a large, private database (1:N), returning confidence scores.
The server runs active liveness checks (requiring movement) and silent anti-spoofing detection against photos or masks.
You can create, list, add, remove faces, and manage the metadata for your secure facial data repositories.
The agent extracts structured text information from ID card images using OCR.

What you can do with this MCP connector
Yitu Technology MCP Server: Enterprise Biometric Identity Management
Your AI agent gets deep visual intelligence here. This server handles everything from finding faces in an image to verifying complex identities, letting you manage entire biometric workflows with simple commands.
Detecting Faces and Screening Content
You can start by running detect_face, which finds every face in a given image or URL and gives you its exact coordinates. Before any analysis happens, you'll use moderate_image to scan the picture for prohibited material; it flags content that shouldn't be stored or processed.
Verifying Biometric Identity and Searching Databases
The server handles identity confirmation in two ways. For a direct check, run compare_faces. This tool performs a one-to-one comparison to tell you if the two faces provided belong to the same person with high accuracy scores. When you need to search against a large pool of data—say, finding an identity within your private records—you use search_face_in_repo.
This compares a single face against every stored identity in a specific repository, returning all potential matches (1:N) along with confidence levels.
Preventing Spoofing and Ensuring Liveness
The system runs multiple checks to make sure the face is real. You can use detect_active_liveness which requires a physical action from the subject—like blinking or turning—to prove it's a live person, stopping spoofing via movement detection. If you only have a static image, detect_silent_liveness analyzes it for common fraud types, like detecting photos, deepfakes, or 3D masks.
Managing Identity Records and Repositories
Identity data needs structure. You'll start by creating an isolated container using create_face_repo, which sets up a dedicated repository for a specific group of identities. To see what you've got, run list_repos to pull a list of all existing repositories and their current metadata. Once the repo exists, you add data with add_face_to_repo, uploading both the new face image and its associated metadata into that container.
You can also refine your stored identities. If one person leaves or changes records, you use remove_face_from_repo to delete just their specific record while leaving the rest of the repository structure intact. When a group's data is obsolete, you permanently wipe everything using delete_face_repo, which removes the entire repository and all its associated identity data.
Specialized Data Extraction
For identification documents, running ocr_id_card pulls structured text directly from images of ID cards. This extracts names, numbers, dates, and other key fields into usable data points.
This suite lets your AI agent perform complex visual tasks: it detects faces (detect_face), screens content for policy violations (moderate_image), confirms identity via direct comparison (compare_faces), searches across massive private collections (search_face_in_repo), and ensures the person is actually there by checking liveness (detect_active_liveness, detect_silent_liveness).
How Yitu Technology MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to the Yitu Technology MCP Server and enter your DevId and APIKey.
- 2 Your AI client sends a request (e.g., 'Search for this face in repo X').
- 3 The server executes the necessary tools, processes the image against its models, and returns structured results (match confidence, detected locations, etc.) to your agent.
The bottom line is: you tell your AI client what identity check you need, and it handles the complex, secure data processing required.
Who Is Yitu Technology MCP For?
Security architects who manage access control systems. Ops engineers needing to audit digital identities across multiple departments. Compliance officers responsible for handling sensitive biometric data (GDPR/CCPA). If you deal with high-volume identity checks, this is for you.
Designs and implements access control pipelines, using tools like detect_active_liveness to ensure physical presence during remote verification.
Manages the life cycle of sensitive data by creating repositories (create_face_repo) and documenting who has access through natural language queries.
Integrates biometric identity features into production applications, calling tools like compare_faces to validate user credentials before login.
What Changes When You Connect
- You eliminate manual database lookups. Instead of clicking through dashboards, you simply ask your agent to 'Search for this face in repository X,' using
search_face_in_repoto get immediate match results. - Your security posture improves by adding layers of defense. Before running a comparison (
compare_faces), you can rundetect_active_livenessto ensure the person is physically present and not using a mask or photo. - Data compliance becomes auditable. The system allows you to manage your data lifecycle directly: use
list_reposto see what exists, thenremove_face_from_repowhen an identity needs purging. - You consolidate multiple checks into one workflow. An agent can first run
detect_face, then send the results toocr_id_cardfor supporting data, and finally use that ID number in a search query. - The system handles complex comparisons easily. Instead of manually verifying records, you pass two images to
compare_facesand receive a direct percentage match score.
Real-World Use Cases
Onboarding a New Employee
A new employee's ID card needs to be logged. The agent uses ocr_id_card on the photo, extracts the name and ID number, then uses add_face_to_repo to register their face and associate it with that unique metadata.
Detecting Unauthorized Access
A security team needs to verify if a visitor's photo matches an existing employee. The agent runs detect_silent_liveness first (to rule out photos), then uses compare_faces against the 'Staff List' repository, immediately flagging any low-confidence matches.
Auditing Data Compliance
A compliance officer must prove who has access to which identity data. The agent runs list_repos, identifies an outdated collection, and uses a multi-step process involving delete_face_repo followed by confirmation checks.
Identifying Unknown Persons
An incident occurs, and a photo of a person is captured. The agent detects the face using detect_face, then runs search_face_in_repo against all known records to see if an identity match exists.
The Tradeoffs
Assuming simple comparison is enough
Just running 'compare two faces' without checking liveness. This lets a bad actor use a high-quality photo or mask to pass the check.
→
Always wrap identity comparisons. First, run detect_active_liveness on both images. Only if that passes, proceed with the comparison using compare_faces. Never skip liveness.
Mixing up repository scope
Trying to search for a face across all repositories at once. This is inefficient and risks data leakage because you aren't scoping the check.
→
Always use list_repos first to identify the correct, restricted repository ID (e.g., 'HR_Staff'). Then, explicitly run search_face_in_repo using that specific ID.
Handling identity deletion
Simply deleting a face record without confirming the source data was properly purged and audited.
→
Use the workflow: 1. remove_face_from_repo to delete the specific face. 2. Verify this action by checking metadata via your agent, ensuring only that identity is gone.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
You should use Yitu Technology if your core requirement involves verifying physical presence or managing large, complex collections of biometric data. The key tools are search_face_in_repo and the liveness checks (detect_active_liveness, detect_silent_liveness). Don't use this server if you only need to check names against an email list—use a standard database connection instead. If your goal is simply reading text off a sign, use a dedicated OCR tool (like another general-purpose service), not the full facial recognition suite. This server is for identity and verification pipelines; it's overkill for simple data retrieval.

Available Capabilities
Manual Identity Audits Are Slow and Error Prone
Today, if an auditor needs to check a person’s access, they usually have to pull up multiple departmental databases. They cross-reference names with ID numbers, then manually verify the photo against physical records or old files. It's clicking through five different portals just to confirm one identity.
With this MCP server, you ask your agent: 'Verify if person X is authorized.' The system automatically coordinates `ocr_id_card` for data extraction and runs a combination of liveness checks and `search_face_in_repo`. You get an immediate pass/fail status with confidence scores. No manual clicks required.
Yitu Technology MCP Server: Control the Identity Lifecycle
The most time-consuming part of managing biometric data is ensuring it's secure and properly cataloged. Manual processes require separate steps for creation, listing, deletion, and auditing—it’s a mess of spreadsheets.
Now you can manage the whole thing in one conversation. You tell your agent to 'Create repo A, add these three faces, and make sure they are tagged as high-risk.' The server handles `create_face_repo`, `add_face_to_repo`, and metadata tagging instantly. It's a single source of truth.
Common Questions About Yitu Technology MCP
How do I check if an image is spoofed using Yitu Technology? +
You use the liveness detection tools. For anti-spoofing against photos or screens, run detect_silent_liveness. If you need proof of physical presence via movement, use detect_active_liveness.
Can I search for a face in multiple repositories using Yitu Technology? +
No. You must specify the repository ID first. Use list_repos to get all IDs, then run search_face_in_repo separately for each target repository.
What if I need to update a face in an existing repo? +
First, use remove_face_from_repo to delete the old record. Then, run add_face_to_repo with the new image and metadata to replace it.
Does Yitu Technology help me verify an ID card? +
Yes. Use the ocr_id_card tool. It extracts structured text data (like name, date of birth, ID number) from images of physical identification cards.
Is Yitu Technology better than using a standard cloud vision API? +
Yes, because it adds identity management layers. Standard APIs only detect faces; this server gives you repository control, 1:N searching, and mandated liveness checks.
How does Yitu Technology's `detect_face` tool work? +
The detect_face tool simply finds faces in an image URL and extracts their precise locations and attributes. It doesn't compare those faces or check for spoofing; it provides raw detection data, telling you exactly where faces appear.
How do I manage or list my facial repositories using Yitu Technology? +
You use the list_repos tool to see all your existing collections. If you need a new area for identity data, run create_face_repo. This lets you keep different types of identities completely separate and organized.
Does Yitu Technology offer content moderation using the `moderate_image` tool? +
Yes, the moderate_image tool acts as a preliminary safety check. It analyzes an image for inappropriate or restricted content before you attempt any other processes like recognition or OCR.
How do I find my Yitu AppID and APIKey? +
Log in to the Yitu Cloud Platform, navigate to the 'Developer Center' or 'API Management' section to find your unique AppID (DevId) and APIKey (DevKey).
What is a facial repository? +
A facial repository is a secure, private database where you store facial features (templates) of known individuals. This allows the system to perform 1:N searches to identify a person from a large group.
How accurate is the identity comparison? +
Yitu is a world leader in facial recognition accuracy. The system returns a confidence score (typically 0.0 to 1.0). A score above 0.8 is generally considered a highly reliable match for the same person.
