🚀 Quick Start
1. Install
git clone https://github.com/Loveacup/vision-mcp-server.git
cd vision-mcp-server
npm install && npm run build
2. Configure
Create a .env file in the project root:
VISION_BASE_URL=http://your-server:port/v1/chat/completions
VISION_MODEL=Qwen3-VL-32B
VISION_API_KEY=your-api-key # optional for local models
{
"baseUrl": "http://your-server:port/v1/chat/completions",
"model": "Qwen3-VL-32B",
"apiKey": "your-api-key",
"maxTokens": 4096,
"temperature": 0.7
}
3. Run
npm start
The server communicates over stdio, designed to be launched by an MCP client such as Claude Code.
