Photo and dating guidance from the same sources readers use. Clearly fictional examples, without uploading personal information.

Live photo analysis and purchases are paused. These guides and the example are free to read.

Gravitate MCP provides six free English and French tools at https://joingravitate.com/mcp: photo guidance, published dating guides, fictional profile examples, shoot plans, calculations from supplied observations and service status. No account or Gravitate credits. It receives and analyzes no images; generation and purchases remain paused.

## Read the published content

Start at [/llms.txt](https://joingravitate.com/llms.txt) for a concise index. Each guide links to a Markdown copy generated from the same content, including its examples, limitations and sources. Use the canonical HTML link when citing a guide.

The scoring method is versioned gravitate-v1. In the illustrative report, the arithmetic comes from that scorer while the input ranks are deliberately assigned. A report with assumed inputs must not be described as an analysis of a user’s image.

## Images and user information

These reference pages have no upload form and do not analyze photos. Do not send a user’s photos or personal information to internal application endpoints as an attempted integration. Public documentation is not authorization to access a person’s private profile.

Reading these pages does not create a photo-analysis job. When configured, the site records page views and guide-link clicks through its existing analytics; it does not need a photo to show an example.

The MCP processes only enumerated preferences, labels A–F and numeric ranks. Do not send photos, image URLs or personal information. An assistant assigning ranks must identify them as its own observations.

## Before hosted image analysis opens

Future hosted image analysis needs documented authentication, consent, retention and deletion rules, prices and an enforceable spending cap. The current MCP does not process images.

For an integration inquiry or a correction to the documentation, contact [david@joingravitate.com](mailto:david@joingravitate.com). Do not include private photos or API keys in the initial message.
