Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “search_frames”: Search the FrameThrower cinematography reference library by concept, mood, color, composition, or scene. Returns reference frames with film/.”
“Use “find_by_craft”: Find frames by specific cinematography craft attributes — lens character, shot size, visual style, setting, time of day, director, or year r.”
“Use “find_similar”: Find frames visually/semantically similar to a given frame id (from a prior result). Use this to pull more references like one the user shor.”
“Use “get_frame_details”: Get the full metadata + preview thumbnail + full-resolution image URL + depth map URL + link for a single frame id. The depth map is precomp.”
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how FrameThrower holds up.
Operated by FrameThrower (framethrower.ai) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
If FrameThrower adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Choose FrameThrower in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
FrameThrower's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

https://framethrower.ai/api/mcpYes — FrameThrower operates its own remote MCP server at framethrower.ai. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick FrameThrower in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, FrameThrower's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
No. FrameThrower runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect FrameThrower in minutes. No credit card required.
Every server below works through the same gateway URL — connect once, add tools anytime.
