Image Processor MCP Server
This MCP server provides tools for image processing and uploading to Vercel Blob storage. It allows you to:
- Optimize and resize images (from local files or URLs)
- Convert images to WebP format
- Upload both versions to Vercel Blob storage
Features
- Image Optimization: Resize and optimize images for better performance
- WebP Conversion: Convert images to the WebP format for smaller file sizes
- Vercel Blob Integration: Automatically upload processed images to Vercel Blob storage
- Customizable Dimensions: Specify custom dimensions for image resizing
- URL Support: Process images from external URLs
Installation
The server is already installed and configured in the MCP settings file. It uses the Vercel Blob token from your environment variables.
Usage
You can use the MCP server in Claude by using the use_mcp_tool
function:
For Local Images
<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>image-processor</server_name>
<tool_name>process_and_upload_image</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
"imagePath": "/path/to/image.png",
"newName": "new-image-name",
"width": 550,
"height": 300
}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>
For Images from URLs
<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>image-processor</server_name>
<tool_name>process_and_upload_image_from_url</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
"imageUrl": "https://example.com/image.jpg",
"newName": "new-image-name",
"width": 550,
"height": 300
}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>
Parameters for Local Images
imagePath
(required): Path to the image file to processnewName
(required): New name for the processed image (without extension)width
(optional): Width to resize the image to (default: 550)height
(optional): Height to resize the image to (default: 300)
Parameters for URL Images
imageUrl
(required): URL of the image to processnewName
(required): New name for the processed image (without extension)width
(optional): Width to resize the image to (default: 550)height
(optional): Height to resize the image to (default: 300)
Response
The server will return a JSON response with the following structure:
{
"success": true,
"message": "Successfully processed and uploaded image: new-image-name",
"results": {
"png": {
"fileName": "new-image-name_small.png",
"localPath": "/path/to/temp/new-image-name_small.png",
"blobUrl": "https://vercel-blob-url/new-image-name_small.png"
},
"webp": {
"fileName": "new-image-name.webp",
"localPath": "/path/to/temp/new-image-name.webp",
"blobUrl": "https://vercel-blob-url/new-image-name.webp"
}
}
}
Implementation Details
The server uses:
- Sharp: For image processing and optimization
- @vercel/blob: For uploading to Vercel Blob storage
- fs-extra: For file system operations
Examples
Example 1: Processing a Local Image
<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>image-processor</server_name>
<tool_name>process_and_upload_image</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
"imagePath": "/pathto_file/image_name.png",
"newName": "test-processed-image",
"width": 550,
"height": 300
}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>
Example 2: Processing an Image from URL
<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>image-processor</server_name>
<tool_name>process_and_upload_image_from_url</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
"imageUrl": "https://pplx-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/v1749567759/pplx_project_search_images/6dff647e4fb1083aecf9ea6b1d49ea19386be588.jpg",
"newName": "cloud-image",
"width": 550,
"height": 300
}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>
Both examples will:
- Take the image (from local path or URL)
- Optimize and resize it to 550x300 pixels
- Create a PNG version with "_small" suffix
- Create a WebP version
- Upload both to Vercel Blob
- Return the URLs of the uploaded images
