Resize, convert, compress and watermark images, pure JavaScript. It reads PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF and TIFF, resizes with inside, cover or exact fit, converts formats, compresses with a byte report, crops, batches thumbnails, strips metadata by re-encoding, and watermarks with the shared business name or custom text.
The chain worth building is compress, then thumbnail: get a hero image under the size budget the site enforces, then batch the rest of the folder into the same shape in one sentence.
| You say | Tool |
|---|---|
| Make this 1200 px wide and under 300 KB. | image_compress |
| Thumbnail these five and watermark them. | image_thumbnails then image_watermark |
| Strip the GPS coordinates before I send this. | image_strip_metadata |
Quantizing a 300x220 noisy PNG to 16 colours was measured against the original: 115,451 bytes against 39,262, 2.9 times larger, because quantizing destroys the row similarity PNG's own compression depends on. That is why quality only applies to a JPEG output and the extension of out_path picks the codec.
The file is .cursor/mcp.json, and the key inside it is mcpServers.
| Scope | Path |
|---|---|
| This project only | <project>/.cursor/mcp.json |
| Every project | ~/.cursor/mcp.json |
If you also run Claude Desktop, the shortest path there is one click: image.mcpb
from the bundle catalog opens as an extension, with no JSON and no terminal.
Cursor reads its own config, so here it is:
The config block:
{
"mcpServers": {
"image": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-servers/servers/image/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}The node command above wants a built file. From a clone, once:
git clone https://github.com/theluckystrike/mcp-servers.git
cd mcp-servers && npm install
npm run build -w packages/mcp-license -w servers/imageThat writes servers/image/dist/index.js, and its absolute path is the one argument
the config needs.
The npm packages are not published yet, so the form below returns a 404 today. It is here because it is what the entry becomes the day the publish lands, with nothing else changed:
{
"mcpServers": {
"image": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@theluckystrike/mcp-image"]
}
}
}The Customize page shows the server and its tools once it has started.
Nothing is published to npm yet, so the working install paths are the ones above: the .mcpb bundle from the bundle catalog, a clone and build, or the hosted URL.
The same server runs at https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/image over MCP streamable HTTP, no install. Mint a free token with curl https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/token, or use a Pro key. It has no filesystem, so a file comes back as a one-hour download link.
{
"mcpServers": {
"image": {
"url": "https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/image",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <token>" }
}
}
}The current field table marks `type` as required, with `stdio` for a locally launched server, so write it out rather than relying on command and args alone. The other documented restriction is that `envFile` is stdio-only: a remote HTTP or SSE server does not read it, and its headers belong in the config.
Free: info, resize, convert, compress, crop and strip-metadata on images up to 4 MP; batches of 5. Pro is $19 once, verified offline.
<project>/.cursor/mcp.json applies to that project and can be committed, which suits a server tied to one client. ~/.cursor/mcp.json applies everywhere. Both are managed from the Customize page.
The current field table marks type as required, with stdio for a locally launched server, so include it. Pointing at a remote endpoint, envFile is documented as stdio-only and is not read.
Servers in Cursor's marketplace get an Add to Cursor button. The deeplink reference currently documents prompt, command and rule links only, so for MCP Image Tools pasting the config block above is the supported route.
