Built for newsroom and product agents

Give an assistant a live path into Nexpher Images without asking your team to leave the editor they already use.

  • Ask in the tools you already use

    Connect Claude, Cursor, or other MCP clients to the Nexpher library so an agent can search, read metadata, and request a download without a custom integration.

  • One key for REST and MCP

    The MCP server uses the same Bearer API key as the Media API. Quotas, scopes, and subscriber access stay in one place.

  • Keep credit with the file

    Every tool result includes caption, credit, and license fields so an agent can cite the image the same way an editor would.

  • Included with your subscription

    MCP is part of Media API access for Nexpher subscribers. There is no separate credential and no public self-serve plan.

Three steps from a key to a file

Access is included with a Nexpher Images subscription. There is no standalone MCP plan.

  1. 1

    Request subscriber access

    Email [email protected]. We provision a Media API key after your subscription is confirmed.

  2. 2

    Point your MCP client at the server

    Add https://media-api.nexpherimages.com/mcp and send Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.

  3. 3

    Search and pull files

    Ask the agent to search the library, open an image, then request a short-lived download token.

Tools the server exposes

These map to the Media API. Agents can search, inspect metadata, and request a download token.

  • search_images

    Search the library by keyword, place, date, license, or orientation.

  • get_image

    Fetch full metadata, caption, credit, license, and preview URLs.

  • create_download_token

    Issue a short-lived download URL for a licensed rendition.

  • get_latest_feed

    Page through the latest published images.

  • get_account_usage

    Check API and download quota for your organization.

Add the server to your client

Remote Streamable HTTP. Send the same Bearer key you use for REST.

Questions before you connect

Is MCP a separate product?

No. It is the Media API exposed over Model Context Protocol. The same subscription, key, and quotas apply.

How do we get access?

Email [email protected]. MCP is included with a Nexpher Images subscription — we will send your API key after access is approved.

Which clients work?

Any client that supports remote Streamable HTTP MCP with a custom Authorization header, including Claude, Cursor, and other agent hosts.

Can we still use REST?

Yes. CMS plugins and backend services should keep using the REST API. MCP is for agent and IDE workflows on top of the same library.
