RemoteAbout SammaPix — Image & PDF tools for AI agents
SammaPix is a browser-based image platform for creators and developers, with a remote MCP server that lets AI agents use image and PDF tools. Standard processing runs in the browser; files sent through MCP are processed in memory and discarded.

Privacy
All image processing tools run entirely in your browser using the Canvas API, WebAssembly, and client-side JavaScript libraries. Your images are never uploaded to any server.
For AI tools (AI Rename, AI Alt Text, AI Organize), a small thumbnail is sent to Google Gemini for analysis. Full-resolution originals never leave your device and are never stored anywhere.

New to MCP?
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.
