FAQ from Tinypng Mcp Server

How do I get a TinyPNG API key?

The README does not explain how to obtain an API key; you must have one to set in the TINYPNG_API_KEY environment variable.

What runtimes are required?

The server runs on Node.js or Bun. Both are supported via the command field in mcp.json.

Where are images sent for compression?

Images are sent to the TinyPNG API for compression. The server itself does not store images; the compressed file is saved to the path you specify.

What image formats are supported?

The server uses an enum called SUPPORTED_IMAGE_TYPES, but the exact list of formats is not provided in the README. Typical TinyPNG formats include PNG and JPEG.
