FreeMCPAIUI Library2,131 impressions#12 of its week

MCP server that connects Claude to your Immich instance for intelligent photo library management. Immich has built-in AI for face recognition and CLIP search, but it's limited to short keywords. immich-photo-manager extends this with full natural language queries — ask for "photos from that rooftop dinner in Barcelona last July" and get results. What it does: - Smart search via CLIP embeddings with natural language (not just keywords) - Automatic geographic album creation from GPS data - Duplicate detection using perceptual hashing across imports - Library cleanup: screenshots, blurry photos, low-quality assets - Interactive HTML galleries with 3 themes, 4 view modes, slideshow - Library health reports, timeline gap analysis, metadata repair 21 MCP tools in 7 categories. 11 specialized skills that chain tools into multi-step workflows: `/my-travels`, `/cleanup`, `/duplicate-report`, `/storage-optimizer`, and more. Safety first: nothing gets deleted without showing findings and asking for confirmation. Also available as a Cowork plugin with 5 pre-built slash commands.
