Field notes
The project uses a patched darktable fork to expose live develop state that the ordinary Lua API does not provide, including module parameters, masks, and an uncommitted preview. Its MCP server can reportedly read real parameter bounds, clamp writes, reprocess the image, and return a rendered result. The page identifies the fork as GPL-3.0 and the server as MIT, with an Ubuntu 24.04 .deb offered alongside the source repository.
