picident

picident is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HaoyueQin/picture-identification-MCP. It costs 100 tokens per session (1,304 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that gives text-only AI agents the ability to understand images, screenshots, charts, and PDFs through vision models.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for extracting text from images, describing visual content, and sending images to compatible vision-model services.
Why use it?
It lets an agent work with visual information even when the agent itself cannot see images.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

picident scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

picident-mcp — 识图 MCP server

picident-mcp 是纯 MCP server:把图片(本地路径 / http(s) URL / data: URI)转发给 有视觉能力的模型 API,返回文字描述给主模型推理。支持 4 种协议、多供应商自动降级、 图片自动压缩到 2048px 长边、凭据只走环境变量。

安装(智能体可执行步骤)

方式 A:下载预编译二进制(推荐)

  1. 确定平台:Windows / Linux (x64|arm64) / macOS (x64|arm64)。

  2. 执行本仓库的启动器(自动从 GitHub Releases 下载对应平台二进制并缓存到 ~/.cache/picident(macOS/Linux)或 %LOCALAPPDATA%\picident\bin(Windows)):

    • macOS / Linux(bash):

      bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HaoyueQin/picture-identification-MCP/main-v2/bin/picident-launcher.sh) --stdio
      
    • Windows(PowerShell,先下载到本地再执行):

      Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HaoyueQin/picture-identification-MCP/main-v2/bin/picident-launcher.ps1" -OutFile "$env:TEMP\picident-launcher.ps1"
      powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$env:TEMP\picident-launcher.ps1" --stdio
      

    或直接把 launcher 脚本下载到本地后执行。launcher 也支持设置 PICIDENT_BIN 环境变量指向已有二进制以跳过下载。

  3. 验证:picident-server --help 输出帮助即安装成功。

    安全说明:launcher 下载的二进制会先校验 GitHub Releases 发布的 .sha256 校验和(校验失败会拒绝运行);脚本本体来自本仓库,执行前 可自行查看内容确认。

方式 B:从源码构建

git clone https://github.com/HaoyueQin/picture-identification-MCP
cd picture-identification-MCP
cargo build --release -p picident-server
# → target/release/picident-server(.exe)

配置 config.toml

  1. 将仓库中的 config.example.toml 复制到系统配置目录并改名为 config.toml
    • Windows:%APPDATA%\picident\config.toml
    • Linux:~/.config/picident/config.toml
    • macOS:~/Library/Application Support/picident/config.toml
  2. 启用至少一个 provider(open_ai_compat 最通用,base_url 示例 https://api.openai.com/v1,也可用 DeepSeek / OpenRouter / 硅基流动等任何 OpenAI 兼容网关;本地 Ollama 无需密钥)。

注册到 MCP 客户端

在智能体的 mcpServers 配置中加入(stdio 模式,推荐):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "picident": {
      "command": "<picident-server 二进制绝对路径>",
      "args": ["--stdio"],
      "env": {
        "PICIDENT__providers__openai__token": "<你的 API key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.

picident is a skill published in the GitHub repository HaoyueQin/picture-identification-MCP (6 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 100 tokens to every session and 1,304 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
