Community-packaged from github.com/osintverse-community/reverse-image-links: the registry's community pins the upstream release; the tool is its authors' work. Maintain that project? Claim this package.

Run

Through ot mcp, an agent calls run_tool with this; ot asks you before anything that goes online or touches a target. Set it up: ot mcp install claude (or cursor, vscode, codex, gemini).

{"tool":"osintverse-community/reverse-image-links","target":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/Tour_Eiffel_Wikimedia_Commons.jpg","input_type":"url"}

Or just say: "Run osintverse-community/reverse-image-links on https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/Tour_Eiffel_Wikimedia_Commons.jpg with OTInstaller." The registry's read-only MCP server at api.otinstaller.com/mcp can find tools without installing anything.

ot run osintverse-community/reverse-image-links url:https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/Tour_Eiffel_Wikimedia_Commons.jpg --format table
ot install osintverse-community/reverse-image-links

Docker image in a read-only container · no network · no key · up to 1 min. The first ot run installs the tool after asking once. The example value is the registry's own test input, so this command has run. Drop --format table for JSON.

Every tool returns this shape, shaped here from what this tool declares it finds. --format table to read it; ot extract and ot auto to continue.

Gives you ready-made reverse image search links for one image URL on Google Lens, Bing Visual Search, Yandex, TinEye, Baidu, SauceNAO and IQDB. It only builds the links, so it runs offline and nothing is uploaded until you open them.

ot run osintverse-community/reverse-image-links --url https://example.com/a.jpg --format table

Inputs

Input Required
url yes URL of the image
engines no Comma-separated engines, such as yandex,tineye

Notes

Engines differ a lot: Yandex is strongest on faces and places in Eastern Europe, TinEye sorts by first appearance, and SauceNAO and IQDB cover artwork. Opening a link sends the image URL to that engine.
