Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 5 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Flickr, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Flickr. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions Flickr owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I search for photos within a specific geographic area?

    Yes. Use the search_photos capability with the lat and lon parameters for radial queries, or the bbox parameter to define a specific rectangular bounding box.

  • 02

    How do I get the username and location of a Flickr member?

    You can use the get_person_info capability by providing the user's NSID (user_id). It will return their profile details, including username, real name, and location if public.

  • 03

    Is there a way to verify my API key is working correctly?

    Yes, you can use the test_echo capability. It simply echoes back any parameters you send, allowing you to confirm that the connection to the Flickr API is active.
