MCP server
ImageSorcery
Run OCR and other computer-vision tasks on images entirely on your own computer.
Not made by the vendor. Read what it does before you run it.
What it can access
Reads and processes local image files you point it at. Runs locally; does not require sending images to a cloud API.
Security note
Not vendor-official, a community project. It is listed on GitHub's official MCP registry, a review-gated directory, and had around 330 GitHub stars as of verification, indicating real independent use. Running locally is genuinely lower-risk than a cloud OCR service for sensitive images, but as with any community server, read what it actually does before running it on a machine that also holds case files.
Before you start
This one needs a terminal (a command-line window) and Python already on your computer. If a terminal is unfamiliar to you, install a Skill from this directory instead, or ask a technical colleague to do these steps with you.
To check whether Python is installed: open the Terminal app (PowerShell on Windows), type python3 --version, and press Enter. A version number means it is installed. “command not found” means you have to install it from its own official website first.
How to install
- Follow the “Installation” section of the project’s own instructions at github.com/sunriseapps/imagesorcery-mcp.
- You will be asked to add a short block of text to Claude Desktop’s configuration file and restart the app.
- After restarting, open Claude Desktop’s Settings and confirm “ImageSorcery MCP Server” is listed as connected.
How to remove it
- Open the configuration file from step 2, delete the block you added for “ImageSorcery MCP Server”, save it, and restart Claude Desktop.
- Delete or revoke any API key or account you created for this on the vendor’s own website. Otherwise a stray copy of the configuration file is still a working key.
