Definitive MCP server for Ableton Live: complete LOM coverage, embedded knowledge base and music recipes.
Lightroom is installed from its publisher's own source and answers where it runs, so this marketplace is not in the path of a single call. There is no address here to send one to, and a panel that pretended otherwise would be showing you an answer we made up. Install it and call it from your own client — the Installation tab has the entry for each one.

MCP server bridging Claude/Codex/ChatGPT to Adobe Lightroom Classic via a Lua plugin.
Quickstart
# 1 — run it from where its publisher ships it
npx -y @mskalski/lightroom-mcp
# 2 — ask your agent something
> MCP server bridging Claude/Codex/ChatGPT to Adobe Lightroom Classic via a Lua plugin.
Lightroom is free: there is no plan to choose, no cap to set and nothing that can bill you.
Collected from a public index. Nobody has claimed this account, so nothing here was written by its author — claim it if it is yours.
Where are you running it?
Every route below installs the same thing and ends at the same approval screen. This one runs on your machine: your client starts Lightroom as a process under your own user, with your files and your network, so the tool surface below is what it can do to your computer rather than to a server somewhere else. It is scanned, signed and pinned to the version you choose — read the surface before you approve it.
This is a public server: you run it yourself and this marketplace is not in the path. Claude Code registers it in one command.
claude mcp add lightroom-mcp -- npx -y @mskalski/lightroom-mcpReconnect, or start a new session, and the tools appear in the model’s tool list.
One config entry your client uses to start the process locally. A local server runs with your file system and your network, which is why it is priced without metering.
17 tools, with what each one reads, writes and reaches shown before you agree — the same list on every route above. Read the tool surface.
Tool surface
What the model actually sees. Descriptions are diffed on every release — see version history.
Search for photos in Lightroom catalog by criteria (paginated, default limit 100). Providing at least one filter (filename, keywords, rating, or date) significantly improves performance on large catalogs.
Takes no parameters.
Get currently selected photos in Lightroom (or filmstrip if no selection). Paginated, default limit 100.
Takes no parameters.
Get detailed metadata for a specific photo: EXIF, title/caption/headline, GPS (latitude/longitude/altitude), IPTC location (sublocation/city/stateProvince/country/isoCountryCode), copyright, and develop settings
Takes no parameters.
List all collections in Lightroom catalog (paginated, default limit 100)
Takes no parameters.
Create a new collection
Takes no parameters.
Add photos to a collection
Takes no parameters.
Add or remove keywords from photos
Takes no parameters.
Set star rating for photos
Takes no parameters.
Import photos into Lightroom catalog
Takes no parameters.
Export photos from Lightroom
Takes no parameters.
List Lightroom-visible Develop presets and plugin-managed preset checkpoints
Takes no parameters.
Read the settings and backing-file metadata for one exact Develop preset. Use preset_uuid or provide folder/scope when names are duplicated.
Takes no parameters.
Compare two Develop presets and return a deterministic per-setting diff for iterative style matching
Takes no parameters.
Create a versioned plugin-managed Develop preset checkpoint from selected settings on one photo. The checkpoint is hidden from the Develop panel; export it for handoff.
Takes no parameters.
Copy one exact custom or plugin-managed Develop preset backing file to a destination directory. Existing files are never overwritten; built-in presets without backing files cannot be exported.
Takes no parameters.
Apply one exact Develop preset to one or more photos
Takes no parameters.
Copy Develop settings from one photo to others
Takes no parameters.

- Nothing to cap, because nothing bills
What counts against your monthly calls
| Tool | Unit | Calls used | Out of the allowance |
|---|
Nothing here is billable. Lightroom costs nothing to install and nothing to call, at any volume.
Two independent axes, because powerful and malicious are different questions. The grade is threat only. The capability level is blast radius, and it is never a penalty on the grade — it is priced as one subtract-only term in the score, where you can see it.
| Term | Level | What it prices | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| capability-exposure | minimal | capability blast radius (minimal) — client exposure if the model is manipulated | −0 |
| verification-discount | source | publisher verification (provenance) — cryptographic build provenance ties the artifact to its source | −0 |
| coverage-honesty | source | inspection depth (source) — how much of the target the scan could see | −0 |
What the scan could actually read
A grade is only as meaningful as its coverage, so the scanner publishes its own depth before it publishes its result.
No tools were enumerated, so prompt-injection, capability and toxic-flow analysis had no tool surface to inspect. To grade a package’s real runtime tools, scan the running server: --command "npx -y <package>".
Capability — what it could do if the model were manipulated
Tags derived from each tool’s schema and the implementation, not from what the tool calls itself. minimal is the level these add up to.
| Tool | Capability tags | Why the tag was assigned |
|---|---|---|

Toxic-flow graph
The lethal trifecta, checked as a graph rather than as a checklist: untrusted input, a sensitive source and an external sink have to meet before there is a path worth worrying about.
The public result for this release does not print the flow graph, so there is nothing to show here. That is not the same as "no paths were found": what the scan did read is above, under coverage.
Supply chain and provenance
This is the first scan of this surface here, so there is nothing yet to compare it against.
Every result on this tab comes from one deterministic pass over the published package — offline, rule by rule, and auditable line by line above. Same methodology version, same bytes, same score.
Release history
Pinned to 0.12.0 — the install command below asks for that release. A pin is part of an install, so it is kept for this visit and written down when you install.
No release note was published with this version.
Only accounts with at least 50 real tool calls against this server in the last 90 days can post. Ratings are weighted by how much the reviewer actually uses it, and publishers can reply once per review.
Writing one takes an account with at least 50 real tool calls against Lightroom in the last 90 days. That is the whole gate — there is no other way to post, which is why the counts beside each review are worth reading.
Nobody has reviewed this listing. The rating on the card is the mean of the reviews written here and nothing else, so there is no rating until somebody writes the first — which takes an account with 50 real tool calls against it.
