Find full path to exif2findertags. Will look something like this if installed with pipx:

$ which exif2findertags
/Users/rhet/.local/bin/exif2findertags

Find full path to exiftool:

$ which exiftool
/usr/local/bin/exiftool

Create a new Automator workflow with the Run shell script action with the following command. Use the "Quick Action" template when selecting "New" from Automator:

Users/rhet/.local/bin/exif2findertags --exiftool-path /usr/local/bin/exiftool --tag-value IPTC:Keywords "$@"

• Replace the path to exif2findertags with your path from above and likewise for path to exiftool
• Add any options you want exif2findertags to execute
• Select Pass input as argument and Workflow receives files or folders from Finder as noted in screenshot

Now you can run the action from the Services menu in Finder on any image file:

You should make this a github wiki article instead I think. There you can have actual documentation, just enable it in the repository settings.
