Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Image Tools every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 2

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

process
process_images
Resize, crop, rotate, flip, compress (to a file size with target_bytes), convert (jpeg, png, webp, avif), strip EXIF and GPS metadata from, and watermark (text, logo or both) one image or a zip of up to 50 images (up to 500 files per zip; files that are not supported images are skipped and listed). Crops are in pixels by default; for a zip of different sizes use crop_unit "percent" or crop_aspect, which are worked out per image. Give exactly one source: file_id (from create_upload), url (public https) or data_base64 (up to 3 MB inline; use create_upload, up to 100 MB, or url above that). One image in returns one image; a zip returns a zip. AVIF output is scaled down to fit 1,200 px on the longest side and WebP output to 36 megapixels. Returns a 24-hour download_url with the size and format of every output, and for each output the kinds of metadata found in the input and left in the output (location, date, camera, serial number, ...) and whether the colour profile was kept; kinds only, never the values. keep_date and keep_copyright write back the EXIF date taken and copyright after stripping. Large zips can take up to a minute; use a client timeout of at least 120 s. Free. Daily quotas are counted per caller in output megapixels; see start.md.
upload
create_upload
Get a one-hour signed upload URL for an image or a zip that is too large to send inline (over 3 MB; up to 100 MB here) or that already sits on disk. PUT the raw bytes to upload_url with a Content-Length header, then pass file_id to process_images. Free.

Image Tools — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Image Tools do?
It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_upload, process_images. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Image Tools working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 503 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Image Tools?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Image Tools need an API key?
No. Image Tools completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Image Tools?
It answers our handshake in 503 ms on average, which is faster than 24% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
