Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Thumbnails 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 15

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

image
image_batch_resize
Call this tool to resize every image in paths at once, keeping aspect ratio, each named <name>-<W>x<H>.<ext>. One of width/height lets the other follow; with both, each fits inside the box. Free: 5 files a call, 4 MP.
image_compress
Call this tool to re-encode an image smaller and report byte counts before/after. quality (default 80) applies to JPEG; for PNG only max_width shrinks it, and the answer names which one worked. Free: sources up to 4 MP.
image_convert
Call this tool to re-encode an image as PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF or TIFF. quality is JPEG-only. Transparency converted to JPEG flattens onto white; the answer says so. Free tier: sources up to 4 MP.
image_crop
Call this tool to cut a rectangle out of an image. x, y are the top-left corner in pixels from the image's top-left. A rectangle past an edge is refused with the image's real size, not clamped. Free: sources up to 4 MP.
image_delete_upload
Delete one image stored for your token, uploaded or generated: name is the name it is stored under. image_files lists them. A name nothing is stored under is refused and nothing is deleted.
image_dominant_colors
Call this tool to read the colours covering most of an image, as hex codes with each one's pixel share. Sampled from a 200 px copy, so cost is fixed. Read-only. Free gives the top 3; Pro up to 16.
image_files
List the images stored for your token: what you uploaded, and what this server has written, with their sizes.
image_info
Call this tool to inspect an image: format, pixel dimensions, megapixels, file size in bytes, and whether it carries an alpha channel. Read-only, never modifies the file. Free tier: unlimited, any size.
image_resize
Call this tool to write a resized copy. fit inside keeps aspect; cover fills and crops; exact stretches. One of width/height alone keeps aspect. Input untouched. Free: sources up to 4 MP.
image_strip_metadata
Call this tool to write a copy carrying pixels and nothing else: it decodes and re-encodes from raw pixels, so EXIF, GPS, camera, capture time, XMP and colour-profile data are dropped. Free tier: sources up to 4 MP.
image_thumbnails
Call this tool to write one thumbnail per input into out_dir as <name>-thumb.<ext>, fit inside size by size, aspect kept. Paths are reserved before writing, so a collision leaves nothing half-done. Free: 5/call, 4 MP.
image_upload
Send an image to this hosted endpoint. There is no filesystem here, so instead of a path you upload the file once with image_upload and then pass its name as `path` (or inside `paths`) to image_info, image_resize, image_convert, image_compress, image_crop, image_thumbnails, image_batch_resize and image_dominant_colors. PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF and TIFF are accepted and the format is read from the file's magic bytes, not from the name. Give exactly one of image_base64 or url. url: fetch a public file instead of pasting base64 (recommended above about 10 KB): writing out a real photo as base64 is a long tool call and 50 KB or more can stall the turn before the upload is sent, while a url costs one line and the fetch happens here (10 second timeout, at most 3 redirects, public http(s) hosts only, 2 MB cap). Uploads are kept for your token between calls; image_files lists them and image_delete_upload removes one. A file this server writes is named the same way and comes back as a download link valid for one hour, served with the real image content type. The request body cap is 256 KB, which is about 190 KB of image once base64-encoded.
image_watermark
Not available on this hosted endpoint: the watermark is drawn with bitmap font files loaded from a filesystem, which this endpoint does not have. Watermark on a local install instead - download image.mcpb from https://github.com/theluckystrike/mcp-servers/releases/latest and open it in Claude Desktop - or upload an image you have already watermarked.
license
license_activate
Turn Pro on for this connection with key, an MCPL1.<payload>.<signature> issued at checkout for this server or the bundle. Data under your token stays; a wrong or expired key changes nothing. license_status confirms it.
license_status
Report this endpoint's licence state for your token as JSON: the product, the tier free or pro, why it is not Pro, and the checkout URL. Call it to explain a free-tier refusal. No arguments, nothing changes.

Thumbnails — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Thumbnails do?
It exposes 15 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: image_batch_resize, image_compress, image_convert, image_crop, image_delete_upload, image_dominant_colors and 9 more. 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 →
What is Thumbnails mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around image and license. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Thumbnails working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 87 of 87 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 229 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Thumbnails?
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 Thumbnails need an API key?
No. Thumbnails completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 15 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Thumbnails?
It answers our handshake in 229 ms on average, which is faster than 65% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Thumbnails open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 2 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.zovo.one, which runs on its operator's own terms.
