local-vision

local-vision is an MCP server for Claude Code from tmchao7/local-vision-mcp. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

An MCP server that lets an AI agent inspect images using a locally running vision model. It runs through Node.js and can be configured with limits for file paths, image size, output, and request time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze permitted local image files with an Ollama-hosted vision model, subject to the configured size, path, timeout, and output limits.
Why use it?
It enables image analysis on the local machine instead of requiring images to be sent to a remote vision service.

MCP server for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: listed in a Claude config.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the local-vision plugin — 1 skill, 1 MCP server shipped together

Installing this writes the configuration, not the program: `node` runs a file from the repository, so clone it first and make the path in the command match where you put it.

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install local-vision, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 1 MCP server.

Security

Grade A, and why

local-vision scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
