Field notes

The service is organized around agent-accessible image retrieval rather than a conventional human stock-photo catalog. Its homepage supports text search, reference-image search, or a combination, and displays license labels such as CC BY and Public domain. MCP is the connection mechanism highlighted for coding agents, with dedicated setup choices for five named environments. The reported index size is 1,852,370 images.
