MCP connector
What the connector can do
Six things an assistant can ask for
Four of them need no account at all — browsing SiftStock is public. The two that touch your account only work once you have approved the connection. Results carry the same small thumbnail the public grid uses and a watermarked preview; the full-resolution file only ever comes from download_image, after an entitlement check.
search_images
Search the catalog in plain language, optionally narrowed by colour family or category.
A page of matches, each with a thumbnail, a watermarked preview, and an image id.
get_similar_images
Given one image, find visually similar ones and other shots from the same series.
The same kind of result list — this is how an assistant builds a consistent set.
get_image_details
Look one image up in full.
Description, tags, dimensions, a larger watermarked preview, and the license terms in machine-readable form.
list_categories
List the catalog's top categories.
Category slugs with counts, which the assistant can feed straight back into a search.
download_image
Needs a connected account
Get the full-resolution licensed file for an image.
A short-lived download link and the license record. The first download of an image spends one of your monthly free downloads or one unit of your plan's allowance; re-downloading something you already own is always free.
check_account
Needs a connected account
Report where your account stands.
Plan tier, subscription status, downloads used against whichever limit your plan sets, remaining monthly free downloads, and renewal date.
