## Description

This MCP server provides image search capabilities by integrating with the Inspire backend API, enabling AI assistants to find similar images based on text descriptions. Built by tech-inspire using TypeScript and featuring a single get-similar-images-by-description tool, it connects to a custom image search service through gRPC clients and returns optimized JPEG images (resized to 400px, 70% quality) as base64-encoded content with response size limits to ensure efficient delivery. The implementation is designed for applications requiring visual content discovery and retrieval, supporting pagination and configurable API endpoints for both Docker and Node.js deployment environments.
