You have access to required keys: IMAGE_PROVIDER, VIDEO_PROVIDER, GEMINI_API_KEY, VERTEX_CLIENT_EMAIL, VERTEX_PRIVATE_KEY, VERTEX_PROJECT_ID, GCS_BUCKET_NAME.
Multimodal AI vision MCP server for image, video, and object detection analysis. Enables UI/UX evaluation, visual regression testing, and interface understanding using Google Gemini and Vertex AI.
Scores AI image/video generation prompts (0-100) against 18 models (Veo 3, Sora, Kling, Runway, Seedance, Midjourney, Flux, and more) before you spend a generation credit, then rewrites weak ones. Free, hosted remote MCP + npm/PyPI packages.
Category & Scope
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
AI Vision MCP Tools (4)
analyze_image
Analyze an image using AI vision models. Supports URLs, base64 data, and local file paths.
compare_images
Compare multiple images using AI vision models. Supports URLs, base64 data, and local file paths.
detect_objects_in_image
Detect objects in an image using AI vision models and generate annotated images with bounding boxes. Supports URLs, base64 data, and local file paths. File handling: explicit filePath → exact path, otherwise → temp directory. Uses optimized default parameters for object detection.

analyze_intent
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
AI Vision MCP is categorized under Multimedia Process and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Dali MCP belongs to Multimedia Process using local stdio subprocess. Select AI Vision MCP when you need capabilities focused on multimedia process and Dali MCP when you require tools for multimedia process.
Parse a creative prompt into structured intent dimensions.
score_prompt
Score a prompt for a generation target (0–100) and, if it's weak, return the rewrite brief — in ONE call.
Reads intent with a fast heuristic keyword analyzer, scores the prompt, then:
• score ≥ 70 (A/B) → returns the scorecard and tells you to proceed.
• score < 70 (C/D/F) → returns the scorecard PLUS a rewrite brief so you can
fix it without a second call. Write the enhanced prompt from the brief, then
call track_enhancement(original, enhanced, generator).
Returns a ScoreCard (overall, grade A–F, per-dimension breakdown, what's missing,
anti-patterns, verdict) plus needs_enhancement, and enhancement_brief when weak.
category (optional): the ad vertical (e.g. "wellness", "beauty") — when set and
conversion priors exist, the brief upgrades to a conversion-justified rewrite.
Supported generators: veo3, higgsfield, midjourney, flux, kling, sora, imagen…
enhance_prompt
Get a rewrite brief for this prompt + generator. YOU write the enhanced prompt from the brief.
Returns a structured brief with score_before, rewrite_brief, and llm_instructions.
category (optional): the ad vertical (e.g. "wellness", "beauty") if known.
When set and conversion priors exist for it, the brief upgrades from craft
advice to a conversion-justified one, backed by real ad-performance data.
IMPORTANT: After you write the enhanced prompt, you MUST call
track_enhancement(original_prompt, your_enhanced_prompt, generator) immediately.
This is not optional — it records the improvement and is required for the graph to learn.
track_enhancement
Record an enhancement pair in the Dali graph brain.
Call this AFTER you write an enhanced prompt from score_prompt's brief or enhance_prompt.
This records the before→after improvement so the graph learns which rewrites consistently
push scores up — enriching creative_patterns and community_benchmark over time.
Returns before/after scores so you can confirm the delta.
suggest_generator
Recommend the best generator for your creative concept and per-generation budget.
Analyzes the concept's creative signals (motion, style, subject type, use case)
and matches them to generators within your budget. Returns a ranked list so you
can make an informed choice before scoring the actual prompt.
score_variations
Score 2–8 prompt variations for the same generator and rank them best-to-worst.
Use this when you've drafted multiple versions of a prompt and want to pick the winner
without burning generation credits. Returns a ranked list with per-dimension comparison
so you can see exactly why one variant beats another.
creative_patterns
Community graph: which patterns consistently produce high-grade prompts for this generator?
Powered by the V3 graph brain (Supabase PostgreSQL). Every scored prompt contributes.
Returns top patterns by type, enhancement unlocks, and cross-model universal patterns.
community_benchmark
Compare your prompt against community top scorers for this generator.
Returns your score, missing A-grade patterns, and highest-ROI patterns to add.
my_story
Your Dali creative report — scoring history, generator stats, recent scorers, creative DNA.
prompt_neighbors
Find community A/B-grade prompts structurally similar to yours.
Uses graph traversal (Memgraph) to locate prompts that share the most
creative patterns with your input and scored A or B on the same generator.
Returns what those prompts did right — so you can adopt the same moves.
Use this when:
- Your prompt scored C or below and you want inspiration
- You want to see how the community solved the same creative problem
- You need concrete A-grade examples, not abstract advice
enhancement_path
Show the most reliable path from a bad grade to an A on this generator.
Mines the Dali graph for all F/D → A/B enhancement pairs and surfaces
the patterns that appear most consistently in the 'after' side.
These are the highest-ROI moves for this specific generator.
Use this when:
- A prompt just scored D or F and you're not sure what to fix
- You want to know which improvements matter most for a specific generator
- You want to understand generator-specific enhancement strategy
