FindMe Photo MCP Server
Official Model Context Protocol server for FindMe Photo — the AI-powered wedding gallery platform.
Drive your FindMe galleries from Claude, ChatGPT Codex, Cursor, and any other MCP-compatible AI client. Create events, upload photos, pull analytics — all in natural language.
What it does
"Create a FindMe event for the Sarah & Mike wedding on April 22, upload every photo in
~/Pictures/Sarah-Miketo it, then show me the QR code."
The AI uses this MCP server to do all three steps in one turn.

Requirements
- Node.js 18+
- A FindMe Photo account on Free+, Growth, or Pro
- A personal API key from https://findme.photo/settings/api
Install
The easiest way: let the AI install itself. Paste a prompt, the AI edits its own config. No hidden files.
For a step-by-step walkthrough aimed at non-technical photographers, see the full install guide.
Claude Desktop
Open Claude Desktop, click the Code tab (not Chat), then paste this prompt (replace the key):
Install the FindMe MCP server for me.
- Server name: findme
- Command: npx
- Args: -y findme-mcp
- Env var: FINDME_API_KEY = fm_live_PASTE_YOUR_KEY_HERE
Edit my claude_desktop_config.json under mcpServers, then tell me to fully quit and reopen Claude.
Claude Code (CLI)
claude mcp add findme --scope user --env FINDME_API_KEY=fm_live_xxxxx -- npx -y findme-mcp
ChatGPT Codex
codex mcp add findme --env FINDME_API_KEY=fm_live_xxxxx -- npx -y findme-mcp
Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code / Cline
Use the tool's built-in MCP install UI with:
- Command:
npx - Args:
-y findme-mcp - Env:
FINDME_API_KEY=fm_live_xxxxx
ChatGPT web / mobile
Coming soon — requires a hosted MCP endpoint. We're shipping mcp.findme.photo next. In the meantime, use Claude Desktop or Codex.
Any other MCP client
FINDME_API_KEY=fm_live_xxxxx npx findme-mcp
Verify
After restart, you should see findme in your client's tool list (12 tools). Try:
Create a FindMe event called "My First Gallery" for today, then show me the QR code.
Troubleshooting
"MCP server failed to start"
- Ensure Node.js 18+:
node --version - First run downloads the package via
npx; allow it through your firewall - Check the JSON is valid if you edited manually (no trailing commas)
"Your FindMe API key is invalid or has been revoked"
- Generate a fresh key at https://findme.photo/settings/api
- Paste the full key including the
fm_live_prefix - Fully quit and restart your AI client
"API access requires Free+, Growth, or Pro"
API access is a paid-tier feature. Upgrade at https://findme.photo/pricing.
Upload fails with "can't find folder" on macOS
macOS privacy protection. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access and add your AI client (Claude Desktop, Terminal, etc.). Then quit and reopen.
Upload partially failed
The tool never errors a whole batch for one bad file — it returns a summary showing which files succeeded and which didn't. Ask the AI to retry the failed ones specifically.
Limits
| Tier | Rate limit | Monthly quota |
|---|---|---|
| Free+ | 10 req/min | 500 / month |
| Growth | 60 req/min | 10,000 / month |
| Pro | 300 req/min | Unlimited |
Per file: 50 MB photos, 500 MB videos, 50 files per upload batch.
v1 limitations
upload_photos_from_drive_folderrequires an existing Drive import created via the findme.photo web UI; the MCP can poll status but not create imports yet.- The MCP runs locally on the same machine as your AI client; it only sees files on that machine.
