Security Best Practices
- Verify the official Fotogenic AI MCP URL before authorizing: https://mcp.fotogenic.ai/mcp.
- Use MCP clients, extensions, and marketplaces you trust. Double-check domains before using one-click setup links.
- Review Client Permissions and Credit Limits before connecting a new AI client.
- Treat product pages, uploaded files, and external page text as untrusted input. They should not override your instructions or account limits.
- Keep confirmation required for higher-cost requests and paid image repairs, especially when agents work autonomously.
- Use Connected Sessions to revoke clients you no longer use or do not recognize.
