Openclaw Metadata Inspector MCP Server

Image Metadata Inspector for OpenClaw

Report the hidden metadata in a public image or video URL: GPS location, camera, timestamps, software, C2PA Content Credentials and AI-generator tags. Read-only. Wraps the free remote MCP server at metadataremoverai.com.

This plugin adds the metadataremoverai.com remote MCP server to OpenClaw. Nothing runs locally: OpenClaw connects to https://metadataremoverai.com/mcp over Streamable HTTP. No API key, no account, no config.

Install

openclaw plugins install git:github.com/fazal-bhinder/openclaw-metadata-inspector

Or from a local checkout: openclaw plugins install ./openclaw-metadata-inspector. Then check it loaded with openclaw plugins inspect metadata-inspector. The tools are available from the next agent session.

Usage

1. Install the plugin (see above) and start a new agent session.

2. Check it loaded: openclaw plugins inspect metadata-inspector should list the tools below.

3. Ask in plain language. The agent picks the tool. For example:

   • "Does this photo leak a GPS location? "
   • "Show the camera, date and software metadata of "
   • "Is there a C2PA or AI-generator label on ?"

No setup or configuration is needed.

Data and permissions

• The plugin adds one remote MCP server, https://metadataremoverai.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP). It has no local code, needs no permissions and runs nothing on your machine.
• Each tool call sends only its arguments to that server: the public image or video URL you give it. The server downloads that file (max 15 MB) to read its metadata and does not modify or store it. Only use URLs you are allowed to inspect.
• No API key, account, OpenClaw config, local files or conversation history are sent.
• How the server handles the URL: it accepts only http(s) URLs, downloads the file with a hard 15 MB cap, parses its metadata in memory for that one request and returns the report. The file isn't written to storage, cached or logged (see functions/mcp.ts in the site's source), and it's never modified.

Tools

OpenClaw prefixes MCP tools with the server name, so they appear as metadata-inspector__<tool>.

Try asking

• "Does this photo leak my location? https://example.com/photo.jpg"
• "Was this image made with an AI generator? Check its metadata."

The server only reads. To actually strip metadata, use metadataremoverai.com in your browser: files never leave your device and pixels are not re-encoded.

Manual setup (without the plugin)

Add the server to your OpenClaw config yourself:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "metadata-inspector": { "url": "https://metadataremoverai.com/mcp", "transport": "streamable-http" }
    }
  }
}

Check

npm test (or node check.mjs) calls the live server and asserts a real result. Needs Node 18+ and no dependencies.

Files

• openclaw.plugin.json: the native OpenClaw manifest. It declares the remote server under mcpServers.
• .claude-plugin/plugin.json and .mcp.json: the same server in the Claude bundle format, which OpenClaw and ClawHub also read.
