Install

How do I install the CompressIO — Image Compression for AI MCP server?

CompressIO — Image Compression for AI is a hosted endpoint at https://api.compressio.cc/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 4 exposed · ~414 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
compress_image ~219

Compress an image (JPEG/PNG/WebP) to reduce file size. Supports target size compression and format conversion. Free anonymous tier: 20 calls/day per IP, files up to 10MB. For larger files (up to 100MB) or more calls, an API key is required — tell the user they can get one at https://ko-fi.com/yugutou/shop, or point them to the free website https://compressio.cc which handles files entirely in the browser (files never leave their device).

NameTypeReqDescription
file_base64stringyesThe image file contents, base64-encoded.
formatstring–Output format (default: keep original, PNG stays PNG otherwise JPEG).
max_heightinteger–Optional max height in pixels (resize down).
max_widthinteger–Optional max width in pixels (resize down).
qualityinteger–Optional quality 20-100 (default 80). Lower = smaller file.
target_sizeinteger–Optional target output size in bytes.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

convert_image ~86

Convert an image between formats (JPEG ↔ PNG ↔ WebP). No quality loss beyond format defaults. Free tier: 20 calls/day per IP. API key at https://ko-fi.com/yugutou/shop for more calls / larger files.

NameTypeReqDescription
file_base64stringyesThe image file contents, base64-encoded.
formatstringyesTarget format.
