Give your agent a photo lab
Connect any MCP client to ID.PHOTOS and your agent can turn an ordinary photograph into a compliant ID photo for more than a hundred national standards — passports, visas, residence cards — with the measurements checked and the verdict returned in the same call.
Connect in one step
Point your MCP client at the endpoint and give it your account's credentials.

Credentials do not expire. Issue, rotate or revoke them from your account's API access page — or have your agent register itself, which is one request and needs nothing but your account email and password.

A photo is charged once, at its first delivery, however many times it was processed or adjusted first — and downloading it again, next month or next year, is free.
Compliance is the product
The head height, the eye line, the crop, the background, the print size — every standard defines them differently, and a photo that misses one is rejected at the counter. Each processed photo comes back with the measurements that were applied and a pass or fail against every rule, so your agent can tell the customer what is wrong before anyone pays for a print.
Adjustments — remove the background, black and white, nudge the subject larger or higher — re-render the same photo rather than making a new one, so trying three versions still costs one credit.
What it costs
Photos are paid for with credits, and credits are bought in advance — there is no per-call billing and nothing to meter.
| A photo | 1 credit |
| With the background removed | 1.5 credits |
| Processing, previewing, adjusting | Free |
