About
MCP server that provides Pexels wallpaper search functionality as a Leo provider package, returning photo results with download URLs and metadata.
README
Pexels wallpapers as a Leo provider package, over MCP.
Leo's wallpaper generator doesn't do this itself — it resolves a provider and asks that. This server is one, reachable as a package the hub installs at runtime rather than one it has to be rebuilt for.
What it answers
The wallpaper role in leo_mcp::providers:
search_photos({ queries, orientation })
-> { photos: [{ source_id, download_url, description, photographer }] }
Results come back as JSON in a text content block, which is the convention the hub's bridge reads.
Configuration
Handed to this process by Leo as environment variables under their settings
keys, verbatim and lower-case — only the keys the descriptor declares in
entitlements.settings_read and the owner consented to, never the whole
settings table.
| env | where it comes from |
|---|---|
pexels_api_key |
Settings → Packages → Pexels |
With nothing configured the tool returns isError naming the setting. That is
deliberate: an empty answer would reach Leo as a real result.
Running it
npm install
node index.js # speaks MCP over stdio
npm test # checks the response mapping, no network needed
Why plain JavaScript
This ships as a git tarball pinned to a commit SHA, and npm does not reliably run build steps for a tarball URL. A TypeScript source tree would install and then fail to start on somebody else's machine, where it is hardest to diagnose.
The registry entry must name a full 40-character commit SHA. A tag reads as equally specific and is not — it can be moved after the entry is reviewed.
