Media

MCP server for image & video processing. No API keys. No config. Just tools.

Give your AI assistant the power to resize, convert, compress, crop, filter, and analyze images and videos — all through Model Context Protocol.

Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client.

⚡ Quick Start

Claude Code

claude mcp add media-mcp -- uvx media-mcp-server

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code

Add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "media-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["media-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

That's it. No API keys, no accounts, no environment variables.

🛠️ Tools

Image Tools

Video Tools (requires ffmpeg)

💬 Example Usage

Once connected, just ask your AI:

"Resize screenshot.png to 800px wide"

"Convert all the PNGs in this folder to WebP"

"Strip the EXIF data from photo.jpg for privacy"

"Compress this image to under 500KB"

"Extract a frame every 5 seconds from demo.mp4"

"What are the dimensions of banner.png?"

"Make a grayscale version of logo.png"

"Create a 128x128 thumbnail of product-photo.jpg"

📦 Installation
