Florence-2 MCP Server

An MCP server for processing images using Florence-2.

You can process images or PDF files stored on a local or web server to extract text using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) or generate descriptive captions summarizing the content of the images.

      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "git+https://github.com/jkawamoto/mcp-florence2",
