Didit’s MCP integration distinguishes between hosted Claude deployments, where user images cannot be accessed through local file paths, and local or self-hosted stdio deployments, where the MCP server can read images stored on its own filesystem. For remote users, the recommended process is to create a verification session for a preconfigured Didit workflow, provide the returned hosted URL so the person can submit a selfie or identity document directly in Didit’s interface, and then retrieve the final decision using the session ID. Workflows may use facial age estimation, which provides an age estimate and passive liveness result, document verification, which extracts date-of-birth and other identity-document data, or broader KYC checks combining multiple signals; these approaches represent different levels of evidence and should not be treated as interchangeable. Direct image-path tools remain appropriate for controlled local environments but require files to exist on the MCP server’s machine, while hosted endpoints cannot access a user’s laptop or phone merely from a typed path. The service offers a free server tier with up to 500 monthly verifications, while listed per-check prices include $0.10 for age estimation, $0.15 for ID verification, and $0.33 for a full KYC bundle. Because age-assurance requirements vary by jurisdiction, service type, and risk, the integration provides technical verification routes but does not determine regulatory compliance.
