## Description

Unsplash MCP Server provides AI assistants with the ability to search and retrieve images from Unsplash's extensive photo library. Built with Spring Boot and Java, it implements a single tool that queries the Unsplash API with customizable parameters including search terms, pagination, ordering, color filtering, and orientation preferences. The server requires an Unsplash API access key configured as an environment variable and runs as a standalone process that communicates via stdio, making it ideal for enhancing AI conversations with relevant imagery without leaving the chat interface.
