Yes! Use the search_photos tool with the q parameter. You can use filters like 'color:blue' or 'camera:iPhone' just as you would in the PhotoPrism web interface.

The get_thumbnail_url tool supports several standard sizes: tile_50, tile_500, fit_720, fit_1280, and fit_1920.

Does this integration support video playback?

Yes. The get_video_url tool constructs a streaming URL for a specific file hash, allowing you to view your videos directly from the provided link.

How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
