Azure AI Vision Face MCP-Server

Introducing a Face Liveness MCP Server to allow the embedding of proof of presence during Agentic AI workflows.

Preview of Single Tool with Progress

Here's a preview of the MCP server in liveness-server-typescript-tool-with-progress folder, using the “Tool with Progress” feature to consolidate the liveness-check workflow into a single step, removing the need for users to type “Done.” Support for this feature in Claude Desktop is not yet available.

Running MCP Server

add dependency

go to liveness-server-typescript folder, run

$ npm install --save-dev typescript @types/node
$ npm install
$ npm run build

then in the build folder, you have index.js

sample for vs code

add .vscode/mcp.json

{
    "servers": {
        "liveness-server": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "node",
            "args": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/liveness-server-typescript/build/stdio.js"
            ],
            "env": {
                "FACEAPI_ENDPOINT": "apiendpoint",
                "FACEAPI_KEY": "apikey",
                "FACEAPI_WEBSITE": "https://liveness-webapp.azurewebsites.net",
                "SESSION_IMAGE_DIR": "${workspaceFolder}/liveness-server-typescript/build/"
            }
        }
    }
}

Sample Claude config should be:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "liveness-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["YOUR_PATH/build/stdio.js"],
      "env": {
                "FACEAPI_ENDPOINT": "apiendpoint",
                "FACEAPI_KEY": "apikey",
                "FACEAPI_WEBSITE": "https://yourexample.azurewebsites.net",
                "SESSION_IMAGE_DIR": "D:\somePATH"
        }
    }
  }
}

Localation of session image

If you don't set the variable for SESSION_IMAGE_DIR, images will not be saved.

Liveness with verify

When you have a verify image set, it will switch liveness with verify mode. sample:

"VERIFY_IMAGE_FILE_NAME": "${workspaceFolder}/liveness-server-typescript/build/0b5db043-951c-49d4-9109-e11cb558bb79/sessionImage.jpg",
