Proof points

  • Uses darktable's Lua API instead of editing the SQLite library directly.
  • Keeps photo automation local through stdio transport.

What it is

darktable-mcp is an MCP server for darktable photo management and editing. It gives an MCP-compatible assistant a small set of typed tools for browsing, rating, importing, adjusting, presetting, and exporting photos.

Why it matters

It connects AI agents to a real creative workflow through a structured local interface instead of screen scraping, cloud uploads, or manual glue.
