PNG.now MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can PNG.now MCP Server do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: convert_image_url, get_api_usage, get_conversion_status, list_converters. 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 PNG.now MCP Server working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 17 of 91 checks got a reply (18.7%), average response time 451 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is PNG.now MCP Server still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

The registry lists PNG.now MCP Server as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect PNG.now MCP Server?

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 PNG.now MCP Server need an API key?

No. PNG.now MCP Server completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is PNG.now MCP Server?

It answers our handshake in 451 ms on average, which is faster than 28% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
