Overview
What is Flickr Mcp Server?
Flickr Mcp Server lets AI assistants see, describe, tag, and manage photos on your Flickr account through the Model Context Protocol. It enables browsing photos and albums, drafting titles/descriptions/tags, checking stats, discovering and submitting to groups, reading and posting comments, and keeping local notes.

Requires Node.js 18+ and a free Flickr API key. Clone the repo, run npm install && npm build, then authorize via npm run setup-auth. Configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) by adding a flickr server entry with the absolute path to dist/index.js and environment variables FLICKR_CONSUMER_KEY, FLICKR_CONSUMER_SECRET, FLICKR_OAUTH_TOKEN, and FLICKR_OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET.

FAQ from Flickr Mcp Server
"OAuth signature invalid" – what should I do?
Re-run npm run setup-auth to refresh your OAuth tokens.
Why doesn't an image display in the AI client?
The server caps images at ~700KB. Very large photos fall back to text-only output with a Flickr URL.
Why are stats showing empty results?
For photo_daily mode, Flickr only provides data for the last 28 days. Use the popular mode for all-time totals instead.
I get "Not a member" when adding to a group – what's wrong?
You must join the group on Flickr's website first before submitting photos through this server.
The server crashes with a better-sqlite3 version mismatch error.
Run npm rebuild better-sqlite3 using the same Node version that runs the server.
