Stashbox tools (2)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
find_by_fingerprintIdentify a file from the hashes held for it, across every configured stash-box catalogue. MD5 and OSHASH name the bytes of a file; PHASH states a likeness a re-encode, a crop or another scene from one shoot can satisfy. Each record reached is answered as one card, read on every catalogue that holds it.
get_sourcesWhat each configured stash-box catalogue was measured answering, and the day its surface was read from it. Whether a key is held for a catalogue is a fact about this install and changes nothing about what the catalogue does. Reaches no catalogue and takes no argument.

What the publisher says
From the Stashbox repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
mcp-stashbox
A stash-box is a shared metadata catalogue: it records scenes, the performers credited on them, the studios that released them, and the tags they are filed under, each curated by submission and review. A catalogue holds no media — a record names where something was published and carries nothing of it — and it identifies a file by the fingerprints computed from it. Five such catalogues run independently, each issuing its own key to a registered account.
This server connects a chat client to all of them at once. You can search the scenes, performers, studios and tags of every catalogue you hold a key for, read one record as a single card assembled from every catalogue that holds it, identify a file from its fingerprints, and ask what each catalogue was measured answering. It needs a key per catalogue, and reads only the catalogues it has one for.

With Docker

"mcpServers": {
"stashbox": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",

"-e",

"ghcr.io/smeet666/mcp-stashbox:2.0.1"
]
}
}
}-i keeps stdin open, which is where the protocol travels, and -t is left out because a TTY rewrites the stream. The container needs outbound HTTPS to the catalogues you hold keys for, and the keys from your environment: no volume, no port.
