Manage facial repositories via MCP Server

Need to track multiple identities? Use the `create_face_repo` and `list_repos` tools to manage your data sets. You can also add new faces using `add_face_to_repo` or remove them with `remove_face_from_repo`, keeping your records clean. This system lets you keep track of who's in the repository, making it easy to compare identities later on. Just run a simple comparison check with `compare_faces`.

Detecting live and spoofed faces

Verify if a face is real or just a photo. The `detect_active_liveness` tool gives you per-action pass/fail results, which is crucial for security checks. If you're working with static media—like photos or screen captures—the `detect_silent_liveness` function catches those fakes too. It’s a solid anti-spoofing mechanism.

Searching and moderating image data

You can analyze images for faces using `detect_face`. Beyond that, the `moderate_image` tool runs content checks before you even store anything. It's a good safety net. If you need to extract text from official documents, run `ocr_id_card` on an ID card image. Then, if you want to pinpoint a specific person in your database, use `search_face_in_repo`; it returns top matches with confidence.

Common questions about Yitu Technology / 依图科技 MCP in Claude Desktop

The MCP Server allows your local Claude Desktop instance to call specialized computer vision functions. You don't need to leave the chat interface; your agent handles the calls and returns structured data directly to you.

This MCP Server specifically touches facial recognition data, image content, and extracted text from ID cards. It's all managed through the `search_face_in_repo` tool.

Absolutely. Because you're running this locally, your agent has direct access via stdio transport to run the MCP Server as a subprocess on your machine.

No. Since you're running this through the Desktop App, it uses local stdio transport, meaning it doesn't rely on a public internet endpoint.

The server touches facial recognition data. Because you control the local environment, this gives you tight control over where that sensitive data resides and how it's processed.
