MCP YOLOE: Zero-Shot Object Detection & Segmentation
About
Provide your AI agents with "eyes." This server enables open-vocabulary object detection and instance segmentation using naturally phrased text prompts (e.g., "detect the laptop next to the coffee").
Explore
- Zero-Shot Detection: Detect arbitrary objects using natural language prompts.
- Precision Segmentation: Get exact polygon masks for every detected object.
- Flexible Inputs: Works with local file paths, remote image URLs, and Base64 strings.
- Agent-First: Designed specifically for integration with Claude, IDEs, and autonomous workspace agents.
