What is ImageKit DevTools MCP?

ImageKit DevTools lets an AI client search ImageKit documentation and build correct image transformation URLs.

Summary generated from the project's README

About ImageKit DevTools MCP server

ImageKit DevTools provides specialized capabilities for AI agents to interact with ImageKit documentation and image processing features. This server allows developers to use an AI client to find technical information and generate precise image transformation URLs. It functions as a remote MCP server accessible via HTTP, making it compatible with various environments including Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Unlike the DAM or Admin servers which require signing in to an ImageKit account, this specific DevTools server requires no authentication. It focuses on technical assistance through tools like search-docs for querying documentation and transformation-builder for constructing correct URLs. Developers can integrate it using the skills CLI or by manually updating configuration files for their preferred coding agent.

What you can do with it

1Query technical documentationAsk your AI agent to find specific implementation details within the ImageKit documentation.
2Generate transformation URLsHave an AI client construct the correct URL for specific image transformations.

ImageKit Skills

Reusable AI agent skills for ImageKit.io — install them with the skills CLI to enhance your coding agent's capabilities.

Skills

Skill	Description
mcp-preflight	Which MCP server to call: DAM (media library), Admin (origins, URL endpoints, usage analytics), or DevTools
search-assets	Lucene `searchQuery` for DAM `search_media_library` — discover custom metadata and tags before guessing
upload-files	DAM uploads via `create_upload_signatures_in_bulk` (any number of files, from a shell) or the `upload_file` picker — never inline file bytes
asset-access-control	File/folder vs media-collection ACL tools, and the write rules that are easy to get wrong
ai-tasks	Payload shape for AI tagging, metadata extraction, and quality checks on DAM assets
search-docs	How to query DevTools `search_docs` (query rewriting and source selection)
transformation-builder	How to query DevTools `transformation_builder` for correct transformation URLs
imagekit-integrations	Index of ImageKit SDKs, plugins, and widgets — pick the right one for a stack, then search the docs

Installation

There are two pieces to install: the skills (this repo) and the MCP servers:

MCP server	URL	Auth
`imagekit_devtools`	`https://devtools-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp`	None
`imagekit_dam`	`https://imagekit.io/mcp/dam`	Sign in with your ImageKit account
`imagekit_admin`	`https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin`	Sign in with your ImageKit account

If you previously connected https://api-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp, remove it and add DAM and Admin instead.

What each server does:

Server	Use it to
DAM	Search, upload, organize, tag, share, and manage the media library
Admin	Manage origins (external storage), URL endpoints, account usage, and usage analytics
DevTools	Search the docs and build transformation URLs (no sign-in)

Pick one of the two methods below. Restart your editor after installing so the MCP servers take effect. Authenticate DAM and Admin when prompted.

Plugin method (recommended)

On Claude Desktop, Claude.ai (web), and VS Code, the ImageKit plugin installs the skills and MCP servers in a single step.

Claude Desktop & Claude.ai (web)

Open Customize in the left sidebar and go to the Plugins tab.
Under Personal plugins, click + → Add marketplace → Add from a repository, and enter imagekit-developer/skills.
Install the ImageKit plugin from that marketplace.
Enable the bundled imagekit_devtools, imagekit_dam, and imagekit_admin connectors, and authenticate DAM and Admin when prompted.

VS Code

Open the Command Palette (⇧⌘P) and run Install Plugin from Source.
Enter imagekit-developer/skills as the plugin source.
Restart VS Code.

Manual method

1. Install the skills (same command on every platform):

npx skills add imagekit-developer/skills --all

2. Add the MCP servers for your tool:

claude mcp add --transport http imagekit_devtools https://devtools-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp
claude mcp add --transport http imagekit_dam https://imagekit.io/mcp/dam
claude mcp add --transport http imagekit_admin https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin

Edit your config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "imagekit_devtools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote@latest", "https://devtools-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp"]
    },
    "imagekit_dam": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote@latest", "https://imagekit.io/mcp/dam"]
    },
    "imagekit_admin": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote@latest", "https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin"]
    }
  }
}

Via CLI:

codex mcp add imagekit_devtools --url https://devtools-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp
codex mcp add imagekit_dam --url https://imagekit.io/mcp/dam
codex mcp add imagekit_admin --url https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.imagekit_devtools]
url = "https://devtools-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp"

[mcp_servers.imagekit_dam]
url = "https://imagekit.io/mcp/dam"

[mcp_servers.imagekit_admin]
url = "https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin"

code --add-mcp "{\"name\":\"imagekit_devtools\",\"type\":\"http\",\"url\":\"https://devtools-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp\"}"
code --add-mcp "{\"name\":\"imagekit_dam\",\"type\":\"http\",\"url\":\"https://imagekit.io/mcp/dam\"}"
code --add-mcp "{\"name\":\"imagekit_admin\",\"type\":\"http\",\"url\":\"https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin\"}"

Install with these buttons:

Or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "imagekit_devtools": { "url": "https://devtools-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp" },
    "imagekit_dam": { "url": "https://imagekit.io/mcp/dam" },
    "imagekit_admin": { "url": "https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin" }
  }
}

Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "imagekit_devtools": { "serverUrl": "https://devtools-mcp.imagekit.io/mcp" },
    "imagekit_dam": { "serverUrl": "https://imagekit.io/mcp/dam" },
    "imagekit_admin": { "serverUrl": "https://imagekit.io/mcp/admin" }
  }
}

Usage

Once installed, these skills are automatically available to your AI agent. The agent will consult the relevant skill before performing ImageKit operations, ensuring correct tool usage and better results.
