Frequently asked questions
What are the runtime requirements?
Node.js v18 or later, the PicGo desktop application installed and running, and the PicGo server enabled (default port 36677).
Where do uploaded images go?
The server does not store images; it relies on PicGo’s configured upload destination (e.g., cloud storage, image host). The URLs returned are provided by PicGo after a successful upload.
Are there any known limitations?
The server only supports absolute file paths accessible on the machine where it runs. It cannot handle relative paths or files from other devices.
How does authentication or transport work?
Transport is stdio. No authentication is required; the server assumes a local, trusted environment where the PicGo server is already accessible.
