@formatika/mcp

@formatika/mcp

Convert, resize, compress, crop and rotate files straight from your agent, using formatika.app.

Your agent gets the tools; the files stay on your machine until a job needs them and come back as soon as it is done.

Use it

No installation and no account needed to start:

npx @formatika/mcp

Claude Code

claude mcp add formatika -- npx -y @formatika/mcp

Claude Desktop, Cursor and other clients

Add this to the MCP servers section of the client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "formatika": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@formatika/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Then just ask

Compress every photo in ./screenshots and put the results in ./web

Convert all the HEIC files in this folder to JPEG

Make a square 512×512 avatar out of portrait.png

Tools

The tool list comes from the service at start-up, so it never lags behind what formatika can actually do. Today it covers images: convert between JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and TIFF, resize, compress to a size limit, crop to a ratio, rotate and mirror. Audio and video are on the way.

Every tool takes paths — one or more files — and an optional outputDir. Results are written next to the source file unless you say otherwise, and existing files are never overwritten: a name that is taken gets a number.

Limits and keys

Without a key you get a daily allowance, which is enough for occasional work. For volume, create a key at formatika.app/account and pass it in:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "formatika": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@formatika/mcp"],
      "env": { "FORMATIKA_API_KEY": "fk_..." }
    }
  }
}

FORMATIKA_URL points the server somewhere else — useful if you run formatika yourself.

Privacy

Files are processed and deleted: two hours without an account, twenty-four hours with one. They are not looked at, not shared and not used to train anything. See the privacy policy.
