Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Face++ / Megvii MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your computer vision operations with Face++ (Megvii), the dominant facial recognition platform in China. By connecting Face++ to your agent, you transform complex image analysis and identity verification into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly detect faces, compare similarities between photos, search within face databases (FaceSets), and analyze human body skeletons or gestures without you ever needing to navigate the comprehensive web console. Whether you are conducting KYC audits or monitoring visual content, your agent acts as a real-time vision intelligence assistant, providing accurate and fast results from a single, unified source.
What you can do
- Face Orchestration — Detect faces in images and retrieve detailed attributes like age, gender, and emotion.
- Identity Verification — Compare two images to calculate confidence that they belong to the same person.
- FaceSet Management — Create and manage searchable face databases for large-scale matching.
- Body & Skeleton Analysis — Detect human bodies and skeletons to analyze posture and movement.
- Gesture Recognition — Identify specific hand gestures from image data.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Face++ API Key and API Secret
- Start querying vision data through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Security & Compliance — automate identity verification and KYC processes through natural language queries.
- UX Researchers — analyze user emotions and gestures during product testing directly from your AI-powered workspace.
- Developers — integrate a massive library of computer vision APIs into your AI-driven daily routines.
- Face++ Power Users — integrate your existing vision workflows into your AI-driven daily routines.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Face++ API Key and Secret?
Log in to the Face++ Console, go to [Dashboard] -> [API Key], and you will find your unique Key and Secret there. Ensure you have the necessary permissions enabled.
Can I analyze images from a local file?
This server currently supports analysis via image_url. To use local files, you should upload them to a public or private storage and provide the resulting URL to the tools.
What attributes can be returned during face detection?
Common attributes include gender, age, emotion, head pose, smile, face quality, and skin status. You can specify these in the return_attributes parameter of the detect_face tool.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
