FAQ from Flickr Mcp Server

"OAuth signature invalid" – what should I do?

Re-run npm run setup-auth to refresh your OAuth tokens.

Why doesn't an image display in the AI client?

The server caps images at ~700KB. Very large photos fall back to text-only output with a Flickr URL.

Why are stats showing empty results?

For photo_daily mode, Flickr only provides data for the last 28 days. Use the popular mode for all-time totals instead.

I get "Not a member" when adding to a group – what's wrong?

You must join the group on Flickr's website first before submitting photos through this server.

The server crashes with a `better-sqlite3` version mismatch error.

Run npm rebuild better-sqlite3 using the same Node version that runs the server.
