About Demarker
Demarker is an MCP server for identifying and cleaning marks, metadata, and watermarks in AI images. Its identification tool works without a key, and cleaning saves results beside the input without overwriting it.

MCP support
It exposes image identification, cleaning, balance and pricing lookup, and job lookup tools to MCP clients. Cleaning requires an API key, a credit limit, and user confirmation of the rights statement; identification does not require a key.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
npx -y @demarker/mcpDEMARKER_API_KEYSecretOptional. Needed to clean images and read balance. Create one at https://demarker.io/app/settings/apiDEMARKER_MCP_MAX_CREDITSOptional. Hard ceiling on credits one clean call may spend. Default 2.Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Safety
demarker_cleanneedsmaxCredits, and a hard per-call ceiling applies whatever the model asks for (default 2, setDEMARKER_MCP_MAX_CREDITS).- The user must confirm the rights statement. Clients that support elicitation show it to the user; others must pass
rightsAttested: trueonly after the user explicitly agreed. - Results are written next to the input and never overwrite a file.
Env: DEMARKER_API_KEY (to clean; create at https://demarker.io/app/settings/api), DEMARKER_API_URL, DEMARKER_MCP_MAX_CREDITS.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
