About Yitu Technology / 依图科技 MCP Server
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your enterprise-grade visual intelligence and facial recognition workflows with Yitu Technology (依图科技), a world-class provider of computer vision solutions. By connecting Yitu to your agent, you transform complex facial matching, identity search, and repository management into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly detect faces in images, verify identities through high-precision comparison, manage custom facial repositories, and index new identities without you ever needing to navigate complex technical dashboards. Whether you are building an automated security checkpoint or managing a high-volume digital identity archive, your agent acts as a real-time computer vision coordinator, providing accurate results from a single, authorized source.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Yitu Technology / 依图科技 data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 12 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- Facial Orchestration — Detect faces and extract precise locations and attributes from image URLs.
- Identity Verification — Perform high-precision 1:1 face comparison to verify if two images belong to the same person.
- Library Search — Search for matching identities within your private facial repositories (1:N recognition).
- Repository Management — Create, list, and monitor metadata for your facial data repositories.
- Identity Indexing — Register new faces and associate them with unique person identifiers for future search.
