Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “ocr_to_markdown”: Convert PDF/image files into Markdown through Frenchie.”
“Use “transcribe_to_markdown”: Convert audio/video files into Markdown transcripts through Frenchie. Set language (ISO 639-1 code, e.g. 'th', 'en', 'ja') for better accura.”
“Use “generate_image”: Generate a single image from a text prompt through Frenchie. Required: prompt. Optional: style (free-text style direction), size, quality, f.”
“Use “extract_to_markdown”: Extract structured documents (.docx, .xlsx, .csv, .tsv, .pptx) into Markdown through Frenchie. stdio mode auto-saves the result to .frenchie.”
How secure is the Frenchie MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Frenchie holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by Frenchie (getfrenchie.dev) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If Frenchie adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Connected in three steps

Who runs the Frenchie MCP server?
The Frenchie MCP server at a glance
https://mcp.getfrenchie.devQuestions, answered
Is there an official Frenchie MCP server?
Yes — Frenchie operates its own remote MCP server at mcp.getfrenchie.dev. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
How do I connect Frenchie to Claude or ChatGPT?
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Frenchie in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Frenchie's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
Do I need to host anything?
No. Frenchie runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
Is the Frenchie MCP server safe to connect?
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.
Is it free?
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Frenchie in minutes. No credit card required.
