Overview

AI-generated overview

Archived FirstHandAPI MCP server that let an assistant post crowdsourced photo, audio, video and screen-recording collection jobs and fetch approved files.

What you can do
Create and manage content collection jobs, including posting a job and waiting for completion, listing jobs with filters, and cancelling open jobs, optionally constrained by city/state or coordinates and radius. Check job status and details. Retrieve approved files with download URLs. Check the account credit balance. In keyless mode, expose only a signup tool that issues an API key and free credits.
When to use it
Not for new installs: the README states the service was archived on 2026-08-22, the API host is permanently offline, every tool returns a network error and the npm package is deprecated. It is kept only as a read-only reference implementation of an MCP server with a keyless bootstrap tool.
Requirements
Local Node.js process run via npx from the npm package. A FirstHandAPI key in the FIRSTHAND_API_KEY environment variable for the job tools; optional FIRSTHAND_BASE_URL and FIRSTHAND_TIMEOUT_MS. Network access to the FirstHandAPI service, which the README says is permanently offline.
Before you install
The server no longer works: the backend is offline and the package is deprecated, so installing it gains nothing. The signup flow cannot issue keys. The API key is a secret and is shown only once at signup; job creation spends account credits, and the signup flow advertises free credits.

Installation

In SourceWeft

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

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

25% 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.

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

  • Auth declared10 pts

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