Is it possible to upload a photo directly from my computer using this server?
Yes! Use the upload_asset tool by providing the absolute local file path. The AI will handle the multipart upload to your Immich instance.
Can I create a new album to organize my photos?
Absolutely. Use the create_album tool and provide a JSON payload with the albumName. You can also manage existing ones with list_albums and update_album.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
