Brickscope

Brickscope

Identify LEGO parts, sets, and minifigures from images — as a CLI tool or an MCP server for AI assistants.

Powered by the Brickognize API and Rebrickable.

Huge thanks to Piotr Rybak for creating the Brickognize service and making LEGO recognition accessible to everyone!

CLI

npm install -g brickscope

brickscope identify photo.jpg --type part
brickscope part 3001 --color Black
brickscope set 75192
brickscope minifig fig-012805

Or run without installing: npx brickscope identify photo.jpg

Configuration

Config file (CLI)

brickscope config init

Environment variables

Environment variables take priority over the config file.
