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.
Twelve tools against Cascade's ceiling of 100, and no network call of any kind, so a server touching client photos costs nothing to leave enabled and sends nothing anywhere.
| 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 mcp_config.json, and the key inside it is mcpServers.
| Scope | Path |
|---|---|
| macOS, Windows and Linux | ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.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.
Windsurf reads its own config, so here it is:
The config block:
{
"mcpServers": {
"image": {
"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"]
}
}
}Save and reopen the MCP Servers list; Cascade picks it up without restarting the editor.
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>" }
}
}
}Read this first: mcp_config.json applies to the legacy Cascade agent only. The Devin Local agent, the default for new tabs, takes its servers from the Devin CLI config files, so a correct entry here can still be invisible in a fresh tab. The other hard number is a cap: Cascade reaches at most 100 tools at once, and every enabled server spends from it.
Free: info, resize, convert, compress, crop and strip-metadata on images up to 4 MP; batches of 5. Pro is $19 once, verified offline.
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, under mcpServers. Reach it from the MCPs icon at the top right of the Cascade panel, or Devin Settings, Cascade, MCP Servers.
That file applies to the legacy Cascade agent only. The Devin Local agent, the default for new tabs, reads its servers from the Devin CLI config files instead. Check which agent the tab runs.
Cascade reaches at most 100 tools at any one time, and every enabled server spends from that single budget. MCP Image Tools contributes 12 tools, so keep the enabled list short rather than counting servers.
