Details
From the project READMEinfytool-mcp — InfyTool discovery MCP server
A tiny Model Context Protocol server that lets AI assistants (Claude, etc.) discover the right InfyTool tool and hand the user a deep-link URL.
Discovery only — nothing is uploaded. This server returns tool metadata and URLs. It
never receives, uploads or processes files. Every InfyTool conversion/edit runs 100 % in the
user's own browser. The catalog is read live from https://infytool.com/api/tools.json
(with an offline snapshot bundled as a fallback).
Tools it exposes
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_tools(query, category?, limit?) | Search 180+ tools by keyword → names, descriptions, deep-link URLs |
get_conversion(from, to) | Get the exact page URL for a format conversion (e.g. HEIC→JPG); lists options if unsupported |
list_categories() | List categories (Image, PDF, SVG, Icon, Audio, File) with hub URLs |
list_tools(category?, limit?) | List the tools in one category |
Run it
Requires Node 18+.
# from this folder
npm install
node server.mjs # speaks MCP over stdio
Or, once published to npm, with no install:
npx -y infytool-mcp
Add to Claude Desktop
Edit claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config) and add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"infytool": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "infytool-mcp"]
}
}
}
Using a local checkout instead of npm:
{
"mcpServers": {
"infytool": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp/server.mjs"]
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop; ask something like "convert my HEIC photos to JPG" and it will return the InfyTool link.
Publish to npm (optional, so npx infytool-mcp works for everyone)
npm login # your npm account
npm publish --access public
Environment

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.
