What the code does

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call

A value the model can set ends up inside a file or shell call. That is not a flaw by itself — for a terminal server it is the job — but it is where things go wrong when it is not.

A tool parameter reaches a file or shell call set_output_dir.path → src/mcp/server.ts:395
          rmSync(oldDir, { recursive: true, force: true });

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add imgx -- npx -y imgx-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "imgx": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "imgx-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: GEMINI_API_KEY (Gemini API key from Google AI Studio. Optional if configured via 'imgx config set api-key'.), OPENAI_API_KEY (OpenAI API key. Optional if configured via 'imgx config set api-key --provider openai'.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Imgx — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Imgx?
Imgx runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package imgx-mcp was installed 80 times last week.
How do I connect Imgx?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls imgx-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Imgx?
The npm package imgx-mcp was installed 80 times in the last week. Week over week that is -35%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Imgx open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
