List Algorithms
List available algorithms for media protection, watermarking, and AI content disruption. Returns algorithm IDs, names, supported media types, and descriptions. Use this to discover valid algorithm IDs before calling run_algorithm. Filter by category (open = research algorithms, proprietary = Sidearm bundles) or media_type (image, video, audio, text, pdf, gif).
Run Algorithm
Run one or more named algorithms on media. Provide algorithm IDs (from list_algorithms) and either a public media_url or base64-encoded media content. For text, use the text param. Returns a job_id for async processing — use check_job to poll for results. Requires credits.
Protect Media
Protect media using a curated preset level. Automatically selects the best combination of algorithms for the given media type. Simpler than run_algorithm — just specify standard or maximum protection. Provide either a public media_url, base64 media, or text content. Returns a job_id — use check_job to poll for results.
Check Job
Check the status of an asynchronous job (from run_algorithm, protect_media, or detect_ai). Returns status (queued, processing, completed, failed), progress percentage, and result data including download URLs when complete.
Search Media
Search for similar or matching media across the indexed library. Provide a media_url or base64 media to find matches. Tiers: exact (hash match), quick (perceptual hash), perceptual (visual similarity), compositional (scene structure), full (all tiers). Returns results immediately.
List Searches
List previous similarity searches performed on your account. Returns a paginated list of past search queries with timestamps and result counts.
Detect Ai
Detect whether media content was generated by AI. Supports images, video, audio, and text/PDF. Runs multiple specialized detection models in parallel for the given media type. Returns a job_id — use check_job to poll for results.
Detect Fingerprint
Detect whether media has been previously registered or seen, using fingerprint matching. Compares against your indexed library at varying depth. Tiers: exact (hash match), quick (perceptual hash), perceptual (visual similarity), compositional (scene structure), full (all tiers). Returns results immediately.
Detect Membership
Run membership inference to determine whether your protected content was used to train a suspect AI model. Provide content IDs (from your registered media) and the model to test. Methods: pattern (watermark detection), statistical (distribution analysis), combined (both). Returns a job_id — use check_job to poll for results.
Register Media
Register and protect media on the Sidearm platform. Modes: register (provenance signing only), search_ready (register + vector indexing), standard (search_ready + watermarks + AI-training poison), maximum (standard + style cloaking + adversarial hardening). Returns the created media object.
List Media
List media assets registered to your account. Returns a paginated list with media IDs, types, status, tags, and protection details. Use cursor-based pagination for large libraries.
Get Media
Get details of a specific registered media asset by ID. Returns metadata, protection status, applied algorithms, tags, and storage information.
Update Media
Update a registered media asset. Currently supports updating the original media URL (e.g., after re-hosting the original file).
Delete Media
Permanently delete a registered media asset. Removes storage files, vector embeddings, and all associated metadata. This action cannot be undone.
Get Rights
Get rights and licensing information for a registered media asset. Returns C2PA content credentials, Schema.org structured data, IPTC rights metadata, and TDM-AI protocol declarations. Useful for verifying provenance and license terms.
Get Billing
Get billing, usage summary, storage stats, and algorithm breakdown for your account. Returns credit balance, protection/storage cost breakdown, per-algorithm usage, billing events, and a link to the Stripe customer portal. Filter by date range, event type, tags, or API token.
Get Provenance
Get the full provenance chain for a media asset. Returns every protection algorithm applied (with versions, timings, and metadata), the C2PA manifest, any AI training membership inference results, and every search where this media appeared as a match. Use this to audit the complete history of what has been done to any media item.
Search Docs
Search the Sidearm API documentation. Returns relevant sections from the full developer reference covering endpoints, request/response formats, authentication, SDKs, algorithms, and usage examples. Use this to look up how to call an endpoint, understand a concept, or find example code. Omit the query to get the overview and index of available topics.
Navigate Ui
Look up how to perform an action in the Sidearm dashboard UI. Returns step-by-step instructions for dashboard operations such as uploading media, running searches, managing API keys, reviewing deals, buying credits, and more. Use this when the user asks how to do something in the dashboard or web app. Omit the query to get an overview of all available pages.
Get your MCP into directories
A working endpoint is step one. Directory coverage is the coordinated launch across ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, the MCP Registry, and community indexes.
Directory coverage for brandsThe complete platform for content protection, provenance tracking, and media verification for the modern web.
Use the MCP endpoint listed on this page in your MCP client configuration. One-click install pills support Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other hosts. Copy the remote MCP URL if your client needs a manual entry.
Operate mcp-typescript server on vercel? Verify ownership to take over this directory entry.
This server appears in the MCPBundles directory. Verify you operate it to take over the listing — name, description, logo, contact email, and skill content. We email a 6-digit code to a maintainer address your server publishes in /.well-known/security.txt or /.well-known/mcpbundles.json. Free, takes about a minute.
