Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Photo Location Finder tool:
- Upload the photo and describe what information you are hoping to extract — country, city, specific landmark, or exact street position.
- Run `locate_photo` through `photo-location-finder` to generate the location analysis.
- Ask Claude to explain the confidence behind the identification — which visual clues were most definitive, and what would confirm or challenge the result?
- Use the location data for travel planning, content verification, or location scouting follow-up.
Example Prompt
Try this with Claude using the Photo Location Finder tool
Use photo-location-finder to identify where this photo was taken. I want to recreate this exact shot on a trip to Europe. Tell me the likely country, city, and neighborhood, explain which visual clues pointed to that conclusion, and suggest how confident I should be before booking flights.
Tips
- Photos with architecture, street signs, or distinctive vegetation produce more accurate identifications than abstract landscapes.
- Ask Claude to rank the confidence of the identification — 'definitely France' is different from 'possibly Mediterranean'.
- For travel recreation, ask Claude to describe the likely time of day and season based on the light and shadows in the image.
