About Image Tools Mcp
Image Tools MCP is an MCP service for checking image dimensions and compressing images from URLs or local files. It also converts output formats and can retrieve image links from Figma for compression.
Key features
- 01Read dimensions from URLs
- 02Read dimensions from local files
- 03Compress remote images with TinyPNG
- 04Compress local images with TinyPNG
- 05Convert to WebP, JPEG, or PNG
- 06Fetch and compress Figma images
Use cases
- 01Inspect dimensions of remote image assets
- 02Compress local images for delivery
- 03Process image links from Figma
MCP support
Provides MCP clients with tools for reading image dimensions, compressing URL or local images, and retrieving and compressing image links from Figma. Compression and Figma tools require their respective API keys.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Details
From the project READMEImage Tools MCP
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) service for retrieving image dimensions and compressing images, supporting both URL and local file sources.
Features
- Retrieve image dimensions from URLs
- Get image dimensions from local files
- Compress images from URLs using TinyPNG API
- Compress local images using TinyPNG API
- Convert images to different formats (webp, jpeg/jpg, png)
- Returns width, height, type, MIME type, and compression information
Example Results


download from figma url and compress

Usage
Using as an MCP Service
This service provides five tool functions:
get_image_size- Get dimensions of remote imagesget_local_image_size- Get dimensions of local imagescompress_image_from_url- Compress remote images using TinyPNG APIcompress_local_image- Compress local images using TinyPNG APIfigma- Fetch image links from Figma API and compress them using TinyPNG API
Client Integration
To use this MCP service, you need to connect to it from an MCP client. Here are examples of how to integrate with different clients:
Usage
{
"mcpServers": {
"image-tools": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["image-tools-mcp"],
"env": {
"TINIFY_API_KEY": "<YOUR_TINIFY_API_KEY>",
"FIGMA_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR_FIGMA_API_TOKEN>"
}
}
}
}
Using with MCP Client Library
import { McpClient } from "@modelcontextprotocol/client";
// Initialize the client
const client = new McpClient({
transport: "stdio" // or other transport options
});
// Connect to the server
await client.connect();
// Get image dimensions from URL
const urlResult = await client.callTool("get_image_size", {
options: {
imageUrl: "https://example.com/image.jpg"
}
});
console.log(JSON.parse(urlResult.content[0].text));
// Output: { width: 800, height: 600, type: "jpg", mime: "image/jpeg" }
// Get image dimensions from local file
const localResult = await client.callTool("get_local_image_size", {
options: {
imagePath: "D:/path/to/image.png"
}
});
console.log(JSON.parse(localResult.content[0].text));
// Output: { width: 1024, height: 768, type: "png", mime: "image/png", path: "D:/path/to/image.png" }
// Compress image from URL
const compressUrlResult = await client.callTool("compress_image_from_url", {
options: {
imageUrl: "https://example.com/image.jpg",
outputFormat: "webp" // Optional: convert to webp, jpeg/jpg, or png
}
});
console.log(JSON.parse(compressUrlResult.content[0].text));
// Output: { originalSize: 102400, compressedSize: 51200, compressionRatio: "50.00%", tempFilePath: "/tmp/compressed_1615456789.webp", format: "webp" }
// Compress local image
const compressLocalResult = await client.callTool("compress_local_image", {
options: {
imagePath: "D:/path/to/image.png",
outputPath: "D:/path/to/compressed.webp", // Optional
outputFormat: "image/webp" // Optional: convert to image/webp, image/jpeg, or image/png
}
});
console.log(JSON.parse(compressLocalResult.content[0].text));
// Output: { originalSize: 102400, compressedSize: 51200, compressionRatio: "50.00%", outputPath: "D:/path/to/compressed.webp", format: "webp" }
// Fetch image links from Figma API
const figmaResult = await client.callTool("figma", {
options: {
figmaUrl: "https://www.figma.com/file/XXXXXXX"
}
});
console.log(JSON.parse(figmaResult.content[0].text));
// Output: { imageLinks: ["https://example.com/image1.jpg", "https://example.com/image2.jpg"] }

Changelog
- 2025-05-12: Updated Figma API to support additional parameters, including 2x image scaling.
Technical Implementation
This project is built on the following libraries:
- probe-image-size - For image dimension detection
- tinify - For image compression via the TinyPNG API
- figma-api - For fetching image links from Figma API
Environment Variables
TINIFY_API_KEY- Required for image compression functionality. Get your API key from TinyPNG- When not provided, the compression tools (
compress_image_from_urlandcompress_local_image) will not be registered
- When not provided, the compression tools (
FIGMA_API_TOKEN- Required for fetching image links from Figma API. Get your API token from Figma- When not provided, the Figma tool (
figma) will not be registered
- When not provided, the Figma tool (
Note: The basic image dimension tools (get_image_size and get_local_image_size) are always available regardless of API keys.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
