Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant search a large collection of openly licensed images and return source, license, and attribution details.

What you can do
This remote MCP server provides image search for AI agents. According to its registry description, it covers 1.85 million openly licensed images and returns each result with its source, license, and attribution information. No individual tools are listed in the manifest, so the exact tool names and parameters are not documented here.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to find reusable images and must know the license and required attribution before using them. It fits workflows where licensing provenance matters more than access to a specific stock library.
Requirements
It is a remote streamable HTTP endpoint at lightdrift.ai; nothing needs to be installed locally. The manifest declares no authentication, no environment variables, and no headers, so no credentials appear to be required. Network access to the endpoint is needed.
Before you install
The manifest declares no authentication and no credentials, so no secrets are requested. The server returns license and attribution data, but you should still verify the stated license and attribution for each image before publishing or reusing it, since the manifest does not describe how that data is sourced or kept current.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Lightdrift Images MCP in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/ai.lightdrift%2Fimages/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Score

28% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 daysRequired25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declaredRequired10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.

  • Tools listed15 pts

    Answer tools/list without a credential, or ship a package that starts in a sandbox without one.

  • DescriptionRequired15 pts
  • Logo10 pts
  • Documentation15 pts

    Declare a GitHub repository with a README, or serve resource_documentation in the OAuth protected-resource metadata.

  • LicenseNot applicable

    A hosted service is used under its provider's terms, so no license is expected here. This check is left out of the percentage.
