NEWARK, DE — ImageKit has launched its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a new tool that allows developers and creative teams to access ImageKit’s media APIs directly through AI assistants such as Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients—no dashboard navigation or manual coding required.
The release is designed to streamline media management and accelerate production by enabling natural-language commands to trigger tasks like image resizing, tagging, background removal, and metadata updates. Users can connect through a secure OAuth-hosted MCP server managed by ImageKit or deploy it locally for greater control.
“AI assistants are rapidly becoming integral to how teams work today,” said Manu Chaudhary, ImageKit’s co-founder and CTO. “Our MCP server extends ImageKit’s capabilities into this new AI ecosystem, enabling secure, intelligent, and context-aware access to media operations from the same interfaces where people already think, code, or create.”
The Model Context Protocol provides a standardized way for AI applications to interact with APIs using natural language while ensuring security and predictable behavior. ImageKit’s implementation allows users to automate a wide range of media operations, including:
• Automated asset management: Create folders, search files, and update metadata through simple prompts.
• Creative production tasks: Resize, crop, remove backgrounds, or apply transformations to images and videos without leaving AI tools.
• Account-level insights: Retrieve usage metrics, storage details, processing units consumed, and bandwidth insights instantly.
The launch builds on ImageKit’s broader push into AI-powered media solutions. The company has recently added generative fill, background replacement, smart cropping, and AI-based image generation to its platform, along with a new editor that supports bulk image transformations with real-time previews.
ImageKit says the MCP Server is aimed at teams seeking to automate repetitive media work, reduce overhead, and embed intelligent workflows directly into the tools they already use—offering a faster path from idea to production across development, design, and marketing operations.
