# EXIF MCP — local image metadata extraction

Extracts EXIF and XMP metadata from images locally, without uploading to any third-party service. Fast and offline.

## Install

```
npm i -g exif-mcp
```

## Configuration

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "exif": {
      "command": "exif-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## What it adds

Claude reads image metadata as part of a chat — GPS coordinates, device make/model, timestamps, software, copyright fields — without sending the image to a third party. Critical for cases where the image is sensitive (victim photos, surveillance photos) or where chain-of-custody requires controlling where the file travels.
