# vision-mcp

> Use this tool when you need to analyze visual data in text-based coding environments, as it solves the problem of image and video incompatibility by converting them into structured text outputs. The vision-mcp tool takes images, videos, and screenshots as inputs and returns descriptive text, enabling text-only agents to understand visual content. It is ideal for use cases where visual data needs to be processed or understood in text-based workflows.
