MCP tools · 22 exposed · ~2,226 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
base_convert ~114

Convert an integer between number bases 2–36 (e.g. hex to binary, decimal to base-36). Arbitrary precision via BigInt, so large values stay exact. Use for radix conversions instead of doing them by hand.

NameTypeReqDescription
from_baseinteger–Base of the input (2–36).
to_baseinteger–Base to convert to (2–36).
valuestringyesThe number, in from_base (e.g. "ff", "1010", "255").
NameTypeReqDescription
decimalstringyesThe value in base 10.
from_basenumberyes–
inputstringyes–
resultstringyesThe value in to_base.
to_basenumberyes–

No examples provided.

base64 ~98

Encode text to Base64 or decode Base64 back to text (UTF-8 safe). Supports URL-safe alphabet. Use whenever you need to encode/decode data URIs, tokens, or config values instead of guessing the bytes.

NameTypeReqDescription
inputstringyesText to encode, or Base64 to decode.
modestring–Direction.
url_safeboolean–Use URL-safe alphabet (-_ instead of +/, no padding).
NameTypeReqDescription
modestringyesencode or decode.
resultstringyesThe encoded or decoded text.

No examples provided.

color ~82

Convert a color (hex, rgb() or hsl()) and return hex, RGB and HSL representations at once. Use when picking or translating colors for CSS, design tokens or themes.

NameTypeReqDescription
valuestringyesA color: "#3b82f6", "rgb(59,130,246)" or "hsl(217,91%,60%)".
NameTypeReqDescription
hexstringyes–
hslstringyes–
rgbstringyes–

No examples provided.

color_palette ~99

Build a harmonious color palette from a base color using color-theory rules (complementary, analogous, triadic, tetradic, or monochromatic). Returns each color as hex and HSL. Use to derive a theme or design tokens from one brand color.

NameTypeReqDescription
colorstringyesBase color: "#3b82f6", "rgb(...)" or "hsl(...)".
harmonystring–Color-harmony rule.
NameTypeReqDescription
basestringyesThe base color as hex.
colorsarrayyes–
harmonystringyes–

No examples provided.

count ~67

Accurately count characters (Unicode code points), UTF-16 units, words, lines and UTF-8 bytes in text. LLMs are notoriously bad at counting, so always use this tool for "how many characters/words" questions.

NameTypeReqDescription
inputstringyesText to measure.
NameTypeReqDescription
bytesnumberyesUTF-8 bytes.
charactersnumberyesUnicode code points.
linesnumberyes–
utf16_unitsnumberyes–

No examples provided.

cron_describe ~83

Parse a standard 5-field cron expression (minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week) into a plain-English breakdown and the next few run times in UTC. Use to sanity-check a schedule instead of guessing what the fields mean.

NameTypeReqDescription
expressionstringyesA 5-field cron expression, e.g. "30 2 * * 1-5".

next_runsarrayyesNext run times in UTC ISO 8601.

No examples provided.

datetime ~124

Get the current date/time, or convert a given timestamp, into a target IANA timezone with ISO, Unix and human-readable forms. Pass a Unix timestamp (seconds or ms) or an ISO string as input; omit it for "now". LLMs cannot know the real current time, so use this instead of guessing.

NameTypeReqDescription
inputstring–Optional: a Unix timestamp (s or ms) or ISO date string. Omit for the current time.
timezonestring–IANA timezone, e.g. "America/New_York" or "UTC".
NameTypeReqDescription
iso_utcstringyes–

No examples provided.

diff ~84

Compute a line-by-line diff between two texts, marking removed lines with "-", added with "+" and unchanged with two spaces, plus a change count. Use to see exactly what changed instead of comparing by eye. Capped at 1000 lines per side.

NameTypeReqDescription
astringyesThe original ("before") text.
bstringyesThe updated ("after") text.
NameTypeReqDescription
addednumberyes–
changedbooleanyes–

hash ~111

Compute a cryptographic hash of text (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 or SHA-512) and return the hex digest. Use for checksums, cache keys, or verifying content. MD5 is intentionally not offered (broken, and unavailable in Web Crypto). LLMs cannot compute these reliably by hand, so always use this tool instead of guessing.

NameTypeReqDescription
algorithmstring–Hash algorithm. Default sha-256.
inputstringyesText to hash (UTF-8).
NameTypeReqDescription
algorithmstringyesThe hash algorithm used.
hexstringyesThe hex-encoded digest.

hmac ~113

Compute an HMAC (keyed hash) of a message with a secret, using SHA-1/256/384/512, returned as hex or Base64. Use to sign webhook payloads or verify a signature instead of guessing. LLMs cannot compute this by hand.

NameTypeReqDescription
algorithmstring–Hash algorithm.
encodingstring–Output encoding.
messagestringyesThe message to sign (UTF-8).
secretstringyesThe shared secret key (UTF-8).
NameTypeReqDescription
algorithmstringyes–

No examples provided.

image_format_savings ~121

How much smaller WebP, AVIF or JPEG XL are than JPEG at matched perceptual quality, from Cleanor Labs’ controlled benchmark. Also reports the "HEIC conversion tax" (converting an iPhone HEIC to JPG/PNG makes it bigger). Use to justify a format choice when building a site or app.

NameTypeReqDescription
formatstring–Target format to compare against JPEG.
qualitystring–web = typical web quality (SSIM 0.95); high = near-lossless (SSIM 0.98).

No examples provided.

json_format ~90

Validate JSON and pretty-print or minify it, optionally sorting object keys. Returns a precise parse error (with position) if invalid. Use to check and clean JSON instead of eyeballing it.

NameTypeReqDescription
inputstringyesJSON text.
modestring–pretty = 2-space indent; minify = single line.
sort_keysboolean–Sort object keys alphabetically (deep).
NameTypeReqDescription
formattedstringyesThe formatted JSON text.
validbooleanyesWhether the input was valid JSON.

No examples provided.

jwt_decode ~67

Decode a JSON Web Token into its header and payload so you can inspect claims (iss, exp, sub, scopes). The signature is NOT verified and no secret is required or stored. Use to read a token during debugging.

NameTypeReqDescription
tokenstringyesThe JWT (three dot-separated segments).
NameTypeReqDescription
exp_isostring–Expiry as ISO 8601, if present.
expiredboolean–Whether the token is past its exp, if present.

Fetch an image from a public URL and re-encode it smaller (WebP/AVIF/JPEG), optionally resizing to a target width. Returns the optimized image plus before/after byte sizes. Use this when an AI-generated or dropped-in asset (hero image, screenshot, illustration) is too large to ship.

NameTypeReqDescription
formatstring–Output format. webp = best browser support; avif = smallest; jpeg = universal.
image_urlstringyesPublic URL of the source image (PNG/JPEG/WebP/AVIF/GIF).
qualityinteger–Encode quality 1-100 (80 is a good default).
widthinteger–Resize to this width in px, preserving aspect ratio. Omit to keep original size.

Common questions

What is the Cleanor MCP server?

Cleanor is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as app.cleanor/cleanor. Zero-auth MCP: image optimize, cited storage/format data, and dev utilities LLMs get wrong. This page covers its npm package (@cleanor/mcp).

Is the Cleanor MCP server safe to use?

Cleanor scores 77 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 2 known advisories against it as of 24 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the Cleanor MCP server expose?

Cleanor exposes 22 tools: optimize_image, storage_capacity, image_format_savings, qr_code, hash, and 17 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,226 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the Cleanor MCP server still maintained?

Cleanor is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 24 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What licence is the Cleanor MCP server under?

Cleanor declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
