Frequently asked questions

What are the system requirements?

Node.js 22+ is required. The server is compatible with any MCP client that supports npx or globally installed Node packages.

Can I use URLs instead of local file paths?

Yes, URLs like `https://example.com/image.jpg` are supported, as well as absolute paths and home directory paths. Relative paths require setting a `cwd` in the client config.

What image formats are supported for output?

JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and TIFF are supported as output formats. The server can read the same formats plus others via input.

How do I troubleshoot “command not found” errors?

Ensure Node.js is installed (`node --version`). If using npx, try the global install method (`npm install -g mcp-image-optimizer`) and restart your MCP client after updating the config with the global command.

What tools does the server provide?

Eight tools: `optimize_image`, `batch_optimize`, `get_image_info`, `auto_crop`, `smart_crop`, `create_placeholder`, `add_watermark`, and `generate_favicon`. Each has configurable parameters like width, height, quality, format, and fit mode.
