It provides a standardized MCP tool interface so AI assistants can invoke image uploads through PicGo, enabling automated, in‑context uploading without manual interaction.

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).
