Description
Frenchie is an MCP-first multimodal utility for AI agents. It helps agents work with files through a hosted MCP server: - OCR PDFs and images into clean Markdown - Transcribe audio and video into Markdown - Generate images from text prompts - More multimodal capabilities are coming soon Frenchie is built for agent workflows, not as a general OCR or speech-to-text platform. Files are processed for the requested job and results expire after delivery. Use it when your agent needs reliable file extraction or generation without building a custom pipeline.
What our measurements say
Frenchie is a remote MCP server published at mcp.getfrenchie.dev. It has been probed 7 times since 9/10/2026. It answered in 7 of them (100.0%), a near-uninterrupted record. Median response time is 627 ms, a delay an agent will notice. It offers a narrow, focused set of 7 tools. On the protocol side it still runs 2025-11-25 and has not moved to the newer spec.
Agent readability score
Can an LLM agent pick the right tool here — names, descriptions and parameter clarity are assessed.
Agent readability score
Strengths
- Tool names clearly indicate their primary function (e.g., 'ocr_to_markdown').
- Descriptions specify use cases (e.g., 'structured documents' for extract_to_markdown).
Weaknesses
- Parameter details are inconsistently explained (e.g., 'stdio mode' vs 'HTTP mode' in generate_image).
- Some descriptions are truncated or overly technical (e.g., generate_image's incomplete explanation).
generate_image— Incomplete parameter explanation (truncated description)upload_file— Ambiguous 'object_key' parameter usageextract_to_markdown— Vague 'structured documents' categorizationtranscribe_to_markdown— Missing explicit error handling for invalid ISO codesget_job_result— No mention of timeout or failure states
Verdict
Event narrative
Risk: medium
- 2026-09-10T21:16:35.016Z — era changed from auth-gated to legacy · system moved to legacy infrastructure with unknown compliance status
- 2026-09-11T03:50:39.090Z — complianceScore appeared (null to 80) and smokeOk became false · partial compliance achieved but smoke tests failed
Advice
Schema compliance
tools/list structure, inputSchema validity, and a functional smoke test — the components of the 0-100 score.
- tools/list schema valid
- inputSchema is valid JSON Schema
- Smoke test failed · last run:
- Cold-start: cold 202ms → warm 368ms (penalty 0ms)
